"Kevin was prompt in arriving to fix my sink problem. He was very professional and extremely knowledgeable about what needed to be repaired. I was so relieved that he fixed the leaking sink issue with care and even explained exactly what needed to be fixed. His prices are very reasonable as well. I would highly recommend this company for any of your plumbing needs. Thanks again Kevin."

Hydro Flushing Services in Coquitlam
Hydro flushing — also called hydro-jetting — uses extremely high-pressure water (typically 1,500–4,000 PSI) to scour the inside walls of drain and sewer pipes, removing grease, mineral scale, tree roots, biofilm, and years of accumulated buildup more thoroughly than a mechanical drain snake can achieve. Hippo Plumbing & Heating provides professional hydro flushing for residential and commercial properties across Coquitlam and the Lower Mainland.
Hydro flushing is particularly effective for commercial kitchens with heavy grease accumulation, older sewer lines with significant mineral scale, properties with recurring blockage problems, and any situation where a mechanical snake has failed to fully clear the line. We pair hydro flushing with camera inspection to confirm complete cleaning and identify any remaining structural issues.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is hydro flushing and how does it work?
Hydro flushing (hydro-jetting) uses a specialized high-pressure pump to force water through a flexible hose and jetting nozzle inside your drain or sewer pipe at pressures up to 4,000 PSI. The nozzle jets water both forward (to clear blockages) and backward (to scour pipe walls), removing buildup from the inside surface of the pipe. It is safe, effective, and environmentally friendly — using only water.
Is hydro-jetting better than snaking a drain?
For clearing soft blockages like hair or loose debris, a mechanical snake is effective and fast. For grease buildup, mineral scale, recurring blockages, or root intrusion, hydro-jetting is significantly more thorough — it removes material from the pipe walls rather than just punching through the clog. Many recurring blockages that keep coming back are fully resolved with one hydro-jetting service.
How much does hydro flushing cost in Coquitlam?
Hydro flushing in Coquitlam typically costs $300–$600+ depending on the length of the line and severity of buildup. Commercial kitchen drain programs are quoted separately. We provide upfront pricing before work begins. Call (604) 365-0812 for a quote.
