It’s time to catch up with your floor drain. Or that the grease trap line is on the slow side for the third time of the season.Or the grease trap line is on the slow side for the third time this season. Or you have a multi-unit building with your main stack continually causing problems for tenants.
A plumber’s snake restarts the flow of the water. It doesn’t actually clean the pipe though! Pokes a hole through the blockage, leaving everything else sticking to the walls. You call again 6 weeks later.
That is not the case with commercial sewer jetter service. With up to 4,000 PSI, we can send pressurized water down your lines to loosen up grease, scale, sediment and root growth from the inside of your pipes to completely remove them. It’s not a “flow again,” it’s something totally different. It’s a clean pipe.
We are a licensed plumbing company that services commercial and industrial buildings throughout the GTA and in the southern Ontario area. Our commercial drain cleaning crew is ready to arrive the same day if you experience a repeat drain issue, slow main line or backup.
A sewer jetter is a particular piece of equipment that is used to clean the inside of drain and sewer pipes with high-pressure water. As opposed to conventional drain snakes which can merely split up a blockage on just a section of the pipe, a hydro jetter plumbing system blows debris away from the complete inside pipe wall.
Consider it as pressure washing the inside of the sewer system.The following can be removed with commercial jetting systems:

The operation of a sewer jetter, also referred to as a hydro jetter or sewer flusher, is the same as a high-pressure water stream being pushed through a flexible hose that is placed inside of a drain line. The nozzle at the end is forward and back facing. The forward jets penetrate the obstacle. The rear jets move the hose forward, while blasting debris back to the cleanout.
It eliminates what a snake leaves behind, at commercial-grade pressures (2,500 to 4,000 PSI, depending on line size and obstruction).
Accumulated grease in restaurant/kitchen drains. Mineral scale and calcium deposits on older cast iron pipes. Root tendrils which have penetrated the joints. Sediments that have settled in large sewer mains. Clogs masses of soap scum and hair in multi-unit residential drain stacks.
A hydro jet drain cleaning is the closest to “new” pipe that you can achieve without lining or replacing the pipe. That is important for the performance of the drains and extending the life of the line.
Commercial plumbing systems do not typically fail without warning. Problems with sewers and drains usually begin with minor signs and symptoms and gradually progress over time.
If you observe that you have a problem you might need sewer flusher service such as:
Businesses typically call a commercial plumber only when they experience a large backup, but much more affordable than business interruption, water damage restoration, and more.
Commercial sewer jetters and hydro jetters plumbing are used in many different types of commercial and industrial sites in the GTA and Southern Ontario.
We provide commercial drain cleaning for:
From maintenance to emergency services and even a same-day hydro jetter near me, our licensed commercial plumber team has the necessary tools and expertise to ensure your drainage systems are safely and efficiently handled, even in high-demand situations.
Restaurants And Food Service: Grease is #1 drain killer for restaurants and food service. Despite the presence of a grease trap, FOG (fats, oils and grease) will still build up in the lines downstream. A restaurant with a high volume of business can have clean-looking exterior lines and 60% plugged up interior lines. If you maintain your hydro jetter every 3-6 months, you will stay out of a health inspection dilemma.
Retail And Office Buildings: Slow building problems: years of soap, mineral deposit and overall sediment accumulation. It will not be apparent until a day is very busy and a drain backs up. Routine drain cleaning is much less expensive than emergency cleanings while business hours.
Multi-Unit Residential And Condos: If the stack in a 10 unit building is clogged, then it is impacting several tenants. Property managers who arrange for regular commercial drain cleaning will save money for emergency calls and reduced tenants’ angry calls.
Industrial And Manufacturing: Particulates, lubricants and compounds that build up quickly are often found in process water. When ordinary cleaning methods are ineffective, Industrial Drain Cleaning at the right PSI can take care of it.
Healthcare Facilities: Backing up the drain is not just a practical problem – it is a compliance and infection control problem. We are flexible with your schedule and adhere to the facility access policies.
Car Washes And Automotive: Grit, sand, and sediment quickly deposit in floor drain lines (Car washes). Regular jetting maintains a working system and avoids the shutdown of a bay that can occur because of backups.
For a soft blockage in an easily accessible line, a drain snake should be used: a clog near the surface, a toilet blockage, a basic hair blockage. It’s fast and inexpensive.
The hydro jetter is suitable for use when:
This same line is continually blocked every few weeks. The blockage is caused by grease, scale or intrusion of roots that the snake cannot get rid of. It’s a large diameter commercial or sewer main. You want preventative maintenance and not simply clearing. The walls of the pipes are found to be very dirty when checked through the camera.
Many of the plumbing repair that we receive are repeat snake jobs that didn’t get to the bottom of things. The line was quite clear after the snake and then slowly narrowed again. An effective hydro jet drain cleaning can end that cycle once and for all.
If we don’t find something to show up and force water into lines, we don’t. We conduct a camera inspection for most of our commercial jobs.
The camera helps us to determine what we are working with, whether it is grease, scale, roots, or a structural problem (cracks, offsets, collapsed sections). That’s important because it could be harmful if you are going about it the wrong way. 4,000 PSI is not the best thing to put in a pipe with a stress fracture! We have to first check the scene.
With the condition of the line known, the appropriate nozzle and pressure setting will be chosen. Nozzles for various applications: penetrating nozzle, spinning chain nozzle, root cutting nozzle, flushing nozzle.
We then rejected and tried the camera again. You can view the before and after. You can be confident the task has been done well.
For commercial clients requiring documentation for building management, building operations and facilities team, we also deliver a written service report.
This can be important to know, as not all sewer jetter service is created equal.
Truck-Mounted Vs. Portable Units: Truck-mounted jetters will create much more pressure and flow volume as compared to portable jetters. A portable unit may not be sufficient to provide the necessary force for large-diameter commercial lines (lines 6″ and larger). Truck mounted high pressure units are used in our commercial trucks.
Operator Training: High pressure water at 3,000+ PSI can cause pipe damage if it is not used properly, particularly when it is used on an older clay, cast iron or PVC piping that is in need of repair. Our operators know how to accommodate different materials and conditions of pipe with pressure and nozzle changes. One aspect of that protection is the camera inspection prior to jetting.
Correct Disposal Of The Waste Materials: The waste matter removed from the commercial lines, particularly grease, sediment and root material must be disposed of properly. Properly contain and dispose of it. This is relevant for the compliance of cities in commercial and industrial use.
Scheduling Your Operation: The last thing a restaurant could want is a drain crew on the Friday night rush of dinner. If necessary, we arrange jetting for commercial purposes at night, at the beginning of the morning, during the night or on the weekend.
Slow drains in several fixtures, rather than one. When a floor drain or toilet makes a gurgle sound when water drains from other parts of the building. Repeat snaking and still recurring backup in the same line. Unpleasant odors from drains which persist after cleaning. Evident grease backup or overflow from floor drains of a commercial kitchen. A main sewer line that needs to be cleared more than twice per year.
All of these merit a camera investigation. If more, it’s a sign you don’t have the right commercial sewer jetter, but another snake.
Let’s get the costs straight and simple.
Drain cleaning during business hours or worse, cleaning your drains after hours if they were backed up, is much more expensive than scheduled drain jetting for prevention. The impact of disruption to your business is even more costly.
With a preventive maintenance agreement you can get your lines hydro jetter plumbing service every 3, 6 or 12 months, depending on the type of property and its use, to ensure your lines are kept clear and your costs predictable. We collaborate with property managers, building operators and restaurant owners to develop maintenance programs to meet their time and budget constraints.
As a property manager, you know that you don’t want to be the one getting calls for drain cleaning near me or commercial drain cleaning, so let’s discuss a maintenance plan.
Repeated clogged drains don’t only hamper your plumbing system. As time passes, any grease, sludge, mineral scale or debris that has accumulated within the pipe can cause the pipe to wear on older pipes and result in pressure points that cause sewer back-ups.
Professional hydro jet drain cleaning clears buildup from the entire interior of the pipe to allow a commercial drain to function more efficiently, and to alleviate stress on the system. In multi-unit restaurants, buildings, warehouses and industrial settings, scheduled commercial drain cleaning can help minimize emergency service calls and prolong the life of the line.
A clean pipe will also be easier to inspect through the camera and plumbing problems will be identified sooner to avoid them becoming extensive plumbing repair jobs.

Central air conditioner installation on a home with existing ductwork is typically completed in one day. Mini split installation for a single zone takes 3–5 hours. Multi-zone ductless ac installation may require a full day depending on the number of indoor units and complexity of line set routing.
For most central air conditioner installation work involving electrical connections, a permit is required. BOS manages permit requirements as part of our service, keeping you fully code-compliant without the administrative headache.
Home depot ac installation services are typically coordinated through third-party subcontractors. BOS is a direct-service, licensed HVAC and plumbing company with 20+ years of GTA experience and full accountability for every job. You work with us from quote to completion.
Mini splits AC don’t require ductwork and allow room-level temperature control. Central air conditioner installation delivers whole-home cooling through existing ducts from a single system. The right choice depends on your home’s layout, existing infrastructure, and how you want to manage cooling across different spaces.
Sometimes, system components need to be matched properly for efficiency and reliability. Our technicians will assess compatibility between existing indoor components and a new outdoor unit before recommending partial versus full system replacement.
We cover our installations with a workmanship warranty. If an issue develops that’s related to the installation, we return and resolve it at no charge. Call us directly, no third-party warranty service centres, no runaround.
