Septic Line Jetting in Edmonton & Rural Alberta

Traditional Options Before:

When septic lines start to slow, clog, or back up, homeowners are often told their only options are drastic and expensive:

• Excavation and line replacement

• Partial or full drain field replacement

• Chemical additives with questionable results

• Repeated pumping without addressing the root cause

These approaches can be costly, disruptive, and often unnecessary if the real issue is buildup inside the lines.

Modern Septic Line Jetting Using High-Pressure Water

Septic Line Jetting is a powerful, non-invasive cleaning process that restores proper flow by thoroughly cleaning the inside of your septic lines using high-pressure water.

Jetting allows you to:

• Remove sludge, grease, biomat, and soft blockages

• Restore full pipe diameter and flow capacity

• Avoid excavation and property damage

• Address the root cause—not just the symptoms

• Extend the life of your septic system

All without chemicals or harmful additives.

Why Do Septic Lines Become Restricted?

Over time, septic lines naturally accumulate buildup. The most common causes include:

• Biomat accumulation (a thick organic layer that restricts flow)

• Grease and organic waste buildup

• Fine solids settling in low-flow areas

• Partial blockages that worsen over time

Left untreated, these restrictions can lead to backups, surface pooling, and premature septic system failure.

Signs Your Septic Lines May Need Jetting

If you notice any of the following, Septic Line Jetting may be the right solution:

• Slow-draining toilets, sinks, or showers

• Recurring backups despite pumping

• Gurgling sounds in plumbing

• Sewage odors around your home or yard

• Pooling water near septic lines or drain fields

Early intervention can prevent far more expensive repairs later.
