The Pacific Northwest's Advanced Solution for Commercial Drain Cleaning


Blocked or clogged drainage systems create flooding hazards, property damage, and environmental concerns. Invictus Hydro Spade provides drain and catch basin cleaning using industrial high-pressure water combined with vacuum recovery to safely and thoroughly remove debris from pipes, inlets, and stormwater channels across Vancouver, Portland, and Seattle.



Our systems handle sediment, gravel, leaves, roots, and other buildup that standard cleaning methods leave behind. From retail complexes to industrial campuses, our Hydro Spade services protect property, reduce maintenance costs, and ensure proper water management throughout the Pacific Northwest's demanding wet climate.

Why Hydro Spade Drain Cleaning Outperforms Traditional Methods

Standard drain maintenance often uses rods or small jetting tools that cannot remove deep sediment or root intrusion. Hydro Spade combines high-pressure flushing with vacuum recovery, ensuring complete debris removal and proper disposal.

Key Advantages:

  • Clears blocked pipes and storm drains efficiently
  • Removes sediment, gravel, leaves, and debris
  • Flushes and vacuums contaminants to prevent re-clogging
  • Complies with EPA and local stormwater regulations
  • Reduces flooding risk and infrastructure damage
