What we do

Camera inspection
We run a camera through the line, show you the screen as we go, and send you the recording.
$299, or $199 with a clearing
What the camera showsHydro-jetting
High-pressure water that scours grease, scale and roots off the pipe wall, not just a hole through them.
From $595
When jetting is worth itSewer repair and replacement
Spot repairs and full line replacements. Digging is done by our partner excavator, and we tell you that up front.

Repair pricesDiagnosis first
A drain that keeps blocking has a reason.
Snaking a line clears it today. If roots are growing in at a joint, or a section has sagged, it will block again. So when a main line backs up twice, we look before we quote anything bigger.
- We ask what happened and when, and which fixtures backed up first.
- We clear the line so your house works again.
- If it's a repeat, we run the camera and show you the cause on screen.
- You get the options with prices, cheapest first. Often that's nothing more.
Sewer camera
See inside the pipe under your lawn.
A waterproof camera on a push cable travels down the line while you watch the screen with us. A locator marks the spot and depth of anything worth fixing, so a repair is one small dig instead of a trench.
- The recording is yours, sent as a download link the same day.
- A short written note: what we saw, and how many metres from the cleanout.
- Worth doing before you buy an older house.

Where we work
Both sides of the harbour, from one shop in Dartmouth.
Dartmouth, Halifax, Bedford, Clayton Park, Cole Harbour and Eastern Passage have no travel fee. Sackville, Fall River, Spryfield and Timberlea add $45. Each van carries cables, a jetter hose reel, a camera and the common parts, so most jobs finish on the first visit.
