HYDRO JETTING

And do I need it?

In any type of plumbing system, grease and sediment accumulation is completely normal, especially in the low points of the drainage line.

To avoid blocked clogs, we offer power flushing and hydro flushing services. These will keep your drainage lines clean and greatly reduce the likelihood of a full-system block-up or slowed drain. We also use down-drain cameras to see firsthand how clean the lines are after a cleaning is performed. This is effective for many types of drain lines including sanitary lines, storm lines, catch basins and sumps.

Perimeter drains can also be hydro jetted. Do you have standing water near your home? Or do you have concerns about water leaking through your foundation. Often your perimeter drain is also full of debris or sludge. We can camera the line to assess and hydrojet to clear the perimeter so water flows away from your home.

HYDRO JETTING EXPLAINED

You are probably asking yourself what hydro-jetting is and what it can do for you. If you have noticed clogs or other problems with your plumbing that keep recurring, hydro jetting may be a solution. Sometimes, as time goes on, sludge can build up inside your pipes and create problems. Sometimes a drain can be unclogged but the sludge remains in place, which will create blockages in the future.

GETTING THE JOB DONE

Hydro jetting is a way to clean your drains to ensure there are no issues. A hydro jetter sprays pressurized water into your drains to remove anything that could block the flow of water. Hydro jetting could be the perfect solution for your problem.

Hydro Jetter

ELIMINATE THE CLOG

The process of removing buildup involves working with gravity. As the water scours the pipes, the debris that's dislodged then moves down, with gravity, safely flushing the debris out of the system.

Blocks can build up over time or be caused by an object being put down a drain. In either case, having the pipe fully cleared ensures your plumbing is working properly in your home, avoiding ongoing problems, mess, or insurance claims!

PRECAUTIONS

In most cases, hydro jetting is a safe way to remove blockages that cause clogging. However, it is possible to cause further problems if hydro jetting is done in sewer lines where tree-root penetration is significant.

CAMERA INSPECTION

Inspecting the plumbing system and the sewer lines to assess the root of the problem before implementing any solution is recommended.

Also recommended is a camera inspection after cleaning out plumbing pipes to show the effectiveness of the hydrojetting, and the general condition of the pipes.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST

Your drain clearing cost will depend on:

  • Location of the clog. Clogs in the main sewer line cost more to clear than ones in secondary drain lines because clogs in the mainline are more difficult to reach and affect more than one plumbing fixture.
  • Accessibility of your plumbing cleanout. The harder your cleanout is to reach, the more you’ll pay in labour costs. Cleanouts located outside your home will be easier to access than ones inside it.
  • Video camera inspection. A camera inspection increases the price upfront, but can save your plumber a lot of time in clearing the clog.
  • Severity of the clog. Depending on what’s clogging your drain, a plumber will use either a drain cleaning cable machine (less expensive) or a hydro jetting machine (more expensive) to clear it.

Excellent service! We had a leak under the kitchen sink and needed a new faucet installed. And we had the furnace maintenance done at the same time. Both Mario and James from Acorn were great. They arrived on time, were professional and polite and took the time to explain things. I will definitely be calling Acorn again! Thank you.

Acorn installed a new hot water tank for us a year ago. Our house is built on a slab (1978) and we recently had a water pipe leak in the floors. The thought was devastating regarding costs and work to be done. The first thing I thought of was Acorn, as the service staff we had before were so caring and professional. We wanted someone we could trust. Our service rep was Wes and he was knowledgable and made us immediately feel that we were in good hands. He quickly went to work and within a couple of hours, he had found the leak in a wall, removed the perforated pipe, replaced it, and water was running! My husband and I are once again amazed at not just the service provided by Wes and Acorn, but the quality of the people. Thanks so much!

Acorn service group came out to install a new combi unit (hot water on demand and boiler). The team here was awesome. They were so great about removal of old unit (our house is an old renovated cottage) the boiler was the last item. Kyle who arrived with his right hand guy was so professional and did a great job. Definitely give them a call I would in a minute use them again. Thank you Acorn, we now has a little more space in our laundry room…..

Acorn installed a new Regency gas fireplace in our home and we could not be happier with the result. The quote was provided quickly and James and Dong installed the fireplace without any issues and it looks beautiful. James took the time to fully explain how to use the remote control. Professional, respectful and friendly. Thanks for the great service.Update (2023): Nick from Acorn helped us out with our fill valve issue for the toilets in our home, and further diagnosed the problem that was causing the issues, by replacing the "pressure reducing valve" in our home. Nick went above and beyond in helping us. Really appreciate how he looks out for his customers. Thank you Nick and Acorn once again!

Jamie, Chris and Kyle were amazing in helping to get my new Yorke heat pump installed and working.Chris and Kyle were great and spent the entire day setting up the new pump, getting everything installed.Jamie was amazing and came out to ensure everything was working properly and to make final adjustments with regards to the functioning of the pump and getting the thermostat to work.Can't say enough about this team - everyone has been amazing, thorough and attentive.*Separately... Acorn USED to be based out of Boundary Bay and directly in front of my parents house. I KNOW how amazing the crew is from the ownership on down due to their care and attention in parking their trucks so my mother never had an issue in gaining access to her driveway. Great people.

Jamie did a great job diagnosing our thermostat issue-and honouring the warranty on the spot. And we had Mario in on the same day. Diagnosed and repaired a toilet leaking problem.

Acorn Plumbing is amazing!Murphy's law happened and we lost our water heater and furnace at the same time - late in the day. I called Acorn and they sent a technician to check it out the next morning, bright and early.The equipment was old so they ended up installing a new tankless water heater and heat pump, the next week. There were a few bumps along the road, with our old equipment and Acorn went above and beyond to make sure we had hot water over the weekend, when the hot water tank died.I can't say enough about the excellent service technicians (multiple excellent, skilled experts), and very helpful office staff, who make sure our experience was excellent.Thank you to Kyle, Ian, Nolan, Adam, Colin, Dante, Malcolm, and Wes and all the staff at Acorn. You are all awesome!

We had a complicated issue with our hot water system (faucets & furnace). James did a great job troubleshooting & repairing, even bringing in another tech for second option to make sure it was all done right. He is professional and dedicated. The office staff were friendly, responsive, and an excellent support to keep the project on pace and completed as quickly as possible.

This review is by Steve Blake. I am extremely pleased with the work done by Kyle and Chris yesterday when they installed a new hot water heating system for my garage. The system works perfectly. Kyle was very professional explaining what they were doing each step of the way. He consulted with me to make sure everything was installed where and how I wanted. Chris excelled at the electrical work and showed great initiative doing things, including cleanup, without being told. Both of these fellows were friendly, polite, caring, and very concerned that I ended up with a heated garage and equipment that was easy to operate. They both went over the instructions to make sure I knew how to operate and adjust the system. I give full marks to both Kyle and Chris!

Had two old toilets replaced with new ones as one of them had started to crack. Acorn came and looked and measured first, then ordered the toilets and called to book when they arrived. I got a 3hr window then they called when they were 45 minutes out. Nick and Leon were prompt, friendly, and professional and treated the home with care. They also did a random small repair they happened to notice. They even folded the tp into a hotel style triangle. Nick was a good, patient trainer showing his new colleague the process.

I totally recommend Acorn to help with anything needed with heating and plumbing. Efficient, super helpful and knowledgeable technicians on the two occasions that I have had them here over the past few years.Today I was delighted to be able to ask the advice of Dennis (the technician who was here to do a check over of my furnace) about a problem that had been bugging me for years with the noisy fan of my fireplace. I was thrilled that he was able to quickly troubleshoot the issue and is now arranging with his Acorn colleague to see about ordering a replacement part.I also was able to learn more about my furnace and after seeing the filter that it would be advisable to have the ducts cleaned (I have 3 big dogs). I was able to get a referral to reliable company with a 10% discount—again, supportive, helpful and efficient.The technician also checked my water tank and offered very helpful advice (and will ask his Acorn colleagues to check (via the tank’s serial numbers) as to what it’s longevity is before it should be replaced. I am a big fan of being proactive to avoid “disasters” such as a leaking tank so I am feeling relieved about the water tank (which has been on my mind for a while).What I really appreciate is the support and assistance through the technician’s helpful attitude, knowledge, efficiency plus follow through which for me translates to peace of mind as a homeowner.Having a quality company that I can trust and depend on translates to peace of mind. I totally recommend Acorn Plumbing and Heating.
