As we head into fall, Vancouver’s infamous rainy season is just around the corner. For property managers and strata members, this means one thing—your drainage systems need to be in top shape. One of the most effective ways to ensure your drains are clear and functioning properly is through hydro jetting. At Ramos Parkade Maintenance, we use advanced hydro jetting techniques to protect your property from water damage, saving you from costly repairs and stress.
What Is Hydro Jetting?
Hydro jetting is a powerful method of cleaning and unclogging drains using high-pressure water. This process is highly effective for removing all kinds of debris and build-up that can accumulate in your drainage system over time. At Ramos Parkade Maintenance, we utilize two specialized nozzles to get the job done:
• Unclogging Nozzle: This nozzle is designed to break through tough blockages by spraying high-pressure water directly at the obstruction. It’s particularly effective against stubborn debris that might be causing slow drainage or complete blockages.
• Spinning Nozzle: Once the blockage is cleared, the spinning nozzle comes into play. This nozzle rotates, blasting the walls of the pipe to remove any remaining debris and build-up. It ensures a thorough clean, preventing future blockages and keeping your drains flowing freely.
Common Causes of Drain Blockages
In Vancouver, fall brings an influx of leaves, dirt, and other debris that can easily clog your drainage system. Over time, these materials build up, leading to blockages that can cause serious issues, such as flooding or water damage to your property. Regular maintenance, including hydro jetting, is essential to prevent these problems from occurring.
The Benefits of Hydro Jetting
Hydro jetting offers several key benefits that make it an essential service for property managers and strata members:
• Thorough Cleaning: The combination of our unclogging and spinning nozzles ensures that your drains are not only cleared but also deeply cleaned. This comprehensive approach tackles the problem from all angles, leaving your drainage system in peak condition.
• Prevention of Future Blockages: By thoroughly removing all debris, hydro jetting significantly reduces the risk of future blockages. Regular hydro jetting as part of your maintenance routine helps keep your drains clear and prevents the need for emergency repairs.
• Cost-Effective Maintenance: Investing in hydro jetting now can save you a lot of money in the long run. By preventing blockages and water damage, you avoid costly repairs and potential downtime for your property.
• Environmentally Friendly: Hydro jetting uses the power of water—no harsh chemicals involved. This makes it a safe and eco-friendly option for maintaining your property’s drainage system.
Flood Drain Cleaning with Hydro Jetting
When it comes to cleaning flood drains, hydro jetting is particularly effective. As the hydro jet hose cleans out the drains, it pushes debris further into the drainage system. This debris is then either directed into a larger main drain line or into an interceptor, which filters the water before it enters a sump pump chamber.
However, it’s important to note that this process doesn’t end with the hydro jetting itself. The sump pump chamber, which plays a crucial role in preventing flooding, also requires regular cleaning to ensure it’s functioning properly.

When Should You Consider Hydro Jetting?
Hydro jetting is particularly beneficial during seasonal maintenance, especially as you prepare your property for Vancouver’s fall and winter rains. After heavy rainfall, or if you notice slow drains, it’s a good idea to schedule hydro jetting to clear out any accumulated debris. We recommend regular hydro jetting as part of your property’s maintenance routine to keep your drainage system in optimal condition.
