At GG Calgary (GG Underground), we deliver comprehensive, end-to-end underground pipeline cleaning, CCTV camera inspections, high-pressure hydro jetting, and routine main-line maintenance across the Greater Calgary Area.

Calgary’s severe climate and shifting geography create harsh conditions for underground wastewater and stormwater networks. Understanding these factors helps you address sewer line issues before they turn into costly emergencies:
At GG Calgary, we combine state-of-the-art technology with seasoned field expertise to diagnose, clear, and protect your underground infrastructure.
For heavy-duty blockages, standard augers are often only a temporary fix. Our specialized hydro jetting equipment pressurizes water from 1,500 up to 3,500+ PSI through multidirectional nozzles.
We believe in eliminating guesswork. Before and after every major cleaning, our certified operators run advanced CCTV pipeline inspection cameras through your sewer mains.
When tree root intrusion is severe, heavy-duty mechanical continuous augers slice away root masses embedded in the line. We follow up with hydro-flushing to wash all loose debris out into the main collector system.
We provide routine flushing and debris removal for storm and sanitary networks across residential subdivisions, industrial parks, and commercial properties.
A clogged or restricted main sewer line is more than an inconvenience—it is a health hazard and a threat to your property. Watch for these key indicators that it’s time to call GG Calgary:
| Warning Sign | What It Indicates |
| Multiple Clogged Drains | When sinks, showers, and toilets back up simultaneously, the issue is inside your main sewer line, not individual fixture drains. |
| Gurgling Fixtures & Water Rebound | Water bubbling up into the basement floor drain or shower when flushing a toilet signals air trapped by a main pipe blockage. |
| Foul Sewer Gas Odors | Rotten-egg or sewage smells coming from drains or your yard indicate a line break, dry trap, or heavy waste buildup. |
| Soggy or Unusually Green Lawn Patches | Overly lush grass or sunken spots above your buried sewer pipe often signal a leaking sewer lateral caused by roots or ground movement. |
| Basement Floor Drain Backups | Raw wastewater backing up into your basement cleanout or floor drain requires immediate 24/7 emergency service. |
GG Calgary serves a diverse client base across Calgary, Chestermere, Airdrie, Okotoks, and surrounding regions.

Your home’s sewer lateral (the pipe connecting your house to the City main under the street) is 100% your financial responsibility up to the property boundary. Annual or bi-annual cleaning prevents catastrophic basement backups, protecting your living space and insurance premiums.
Before handover to the City of Calgary, underground lines must pass rigorous inspection standards. GG Calgary cleans, flushes, and documents sanitary and storm networks to guarantee seamless CCC (Construction Completion Certificate) and FAC (Final Acceptance Certificate) approvals.
We deliver a seamless, transparent experience from initial call to final inspection:
1.1. Emergency Call & Arrival:24/7 Live Response.
Our live operators field your call, assess the urgency, and dispatch a certified crew equipped with heavy-duty jetting and camera units.
2.2. Access & Initial Camera Inspection:
We locate your property’s basement cleanout or exterior access point, launching an HD push camera to locate the blockage type, pipe material, and depth.
3.3. Target Cleaning (Hydro Jetting / Augering):
Using specialized nozzle configurations, we jet high-pressure water through the line to scour grease, break up heavy sediment, or slice through intrusive root systems.
4.4. Final Quality Verification:
We run a secondary CCTV camera inspection to ensure 100% obstruction removal and verify structural integrity across the entire line.
5.5. Maintenance Advice & Reporting:
Our technicians provide video footage, clear documentation, and customized prevention strategies to keep your lines clean for years to come.
While professional cleaning clears past accumulations, daily habits protect your pipes in the long run:
For residential properties, a preventative sewer line flush is recommended every 18 to 24 months. Properties with mature trees, older clay pipes, or commercial kitchens (restaurants) should be cleaned annually or semi-annually.
A drain snake or auger punches a hole through a clog to restore basic flow. Hydro jetting uses ultra-high-pressure water streams that wash away 100% of internal grease, scale, sand, and roots, completely scrubbing the interior pipe walls clean.
Under City of Calgary guidelines, property owners are responsible for the line running from the building to the property line. If the issue originates in the City’s main system, City crews address it. Our CCTV inspection pinpoint exact clog locations so you know who is responsible before starting major repairs.
Yes. Tree roots seek out water vapor escaping from minor pipe seams. Left unchecked, root clusters expand inside the pipe, causing massive blockages, cracking pipe walls, and eventually causing complete line collapse.
Don’t wait for a minor drain backup to become a costly basement restoration project. Trust the regional experts in underground pipeline cleaning, video inspections, and main-line maintenance.
