Overview
Drain cleaning, hydro jetting and camera inspection
A slow or blocked drain is easy to live with until it is not. Better Value clears blockages for homes, cottages and commercial buildings across Muskoka and Simcoe County, kitchen lines packed with grease, bathroom lines choked with hair and soap, floor drains, laundry lines and main stacks that back up into the lowest fixture in the building.
Clearing the blockage is only half the job. If a drain keeps backing up, something is causing it: a belly in the pipe, root intrusion at a joint, a collapsed section, heavy scale, or a fitting that was never installed correctly. Camera inspection shows exactly what is in the line, so you can decide about a repair based on what is actually there rather than on guesswork.
For heavy buildup and commercial grease lines, hydro jetting scours the pipe wall back to full diameter rather than just punching a hole through the blockage. That is the difference between a drain that stays clear for years and one that backs up again next season.

Why it matters
Why drain services is worth doing properly
What professional drain service delivers over a bottle of chemical cleaner.
Full diameter clearing
Hydro jetting removes the grease and scale coating the pipe, not just the plug in the middle.
Cause identified
Camera inspection shows roots, bellies, cracks and offsets so repeat backups stop repeating.
No pipe damage
Chemical drain openers can damage older pipes and traps. Mechanical clearing does not.
Commercial capable
Restaurant grease lines, floor drains and larger mains are regular work for our crews.
Video you can see
You see what we see inside the line before deciding on any excavation or repair.
Preventive scheduling
Known problem lines can be put on a routine cleaning schedule instead of failing at the worst time.

Questions
Drain Services: questions & answers
What is hydro jetting?+
High pressure water is directed through the line to scour grease, sludge, scale and roots off the pipe wall, restoring the drain to its full inside diameter.
When do I need a camera inspection?+
Any time a drain backs up repeatedly after clearing, before buying an older home, or before excavating so you know exactly where and what the problem is.
Are chemical drain cleaners safe to use?+
We do not recommend them. They often fail on a full blockage, can damage older piping and traps, and create a hazard for the technician who opens the line afterwards.
Why does my drain keep clogging?+
Repeat clogs usually mean a structural issue: a sag holding water and solids, roots at a joint, a partial collapse, or grease buildup that was never fully removed.
Do you clear main sewer blockages?+
Yes. Main line blockages, floor drain backups and sewer clearing are all part of our drain and sewer work.
