What changes the price
| Pipe size and length | Larger and longer lines take more time and water. |
|---|---|
| What's being removed | Hardened grease and scale take more passes than soft sludge. |
| Condition of the pipe | A damaged line may need a camera inspection first to confirm it can be jetted. |
| Time of day | Regular hours are 9 to 5, Monday to Friday. Outside those hours, every price is double. |
Time to call if

- A line needs cleaning before a repair or relining
Call 1-800-604-0631, any hour.
What the job involves
- Inspect the line by camera first, because jetting a broken pipe can make it worse.
- Feed a jetting hose in from a cleanout, working from the downstream end.
- Scour the pipe wall with high-pressure water, pulling grease, scale and roots back toward the cleanout.
- Run the camera again so you can see the result.
- Time on site
- Usually 2 to 4 hours

Questions people ask
How much does hydro jetting cost in Metro Vancouver?
A house line: $789–$1,289. Long or heavily blocked lines: $1,289–$1,889. Typical prices in Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley in 2026, before tax. They are a guide, not our quote.

When is jetting better than a cable?
A cable punches a hole through a blockage. Jetting cleans the whole inside of the pipe. For grease, sludge and scale that keep coming back, jetting is the one that lasts.
Is it safe for old pipes?
For sound pipe, yes, and the pressure is matched to the pipe. That is why the camera goes in first: a cracked or collapsed pipe is not jetted.
Does jetting get rid of roots for good?
It removes them cleanly, and they grow back through the same joint. Only repairing that section of pipe stops them.
Is the estimate free?
No. A Pure Mechanical Group plumber comes out, looks at the job and gives you a written estimate. Approve it and the $269 comes off the price. If you do not go ahead, the fee covers the visit.
What if you find something unexpected once work starts?
The estimate is based on what can be seen. Anything found once a wall, floor or the ground is open is shown to you, priced and approved before it is done.
