What Is Hydro-Jetting?
Hydro jetting is an advanced drain-cleaning method that uses high-pressure water to scour the interior of your pipes. A specialized hose with a precision nozzle is inserted into the drain line. Water is then propelled through the system at high pressure, breaking through blockages and washing away debris.
Hydro-jetting is especially effective for:
- Heavy grease buildup in kitchen drains
- Sludge and soap accumulation
- Mineral scale inside older pipes
- Tree root intrusion in sewer lines
- Recurring clogs that return after basic clearing
Unlike methods that only punch a hole through a blockage, hydro-jetting thoroughly cleans the entire pipe interior. This restores optimal flow and reduces the likelihood of future clogs.
What Is Drain Snaking?
Drain snaking, also known as augering, uses a flexible metal cable with a cutting or grabbing head to break through or pull out clogs. The cable rotates as it moves through the pipe, dislodging obstructions to allow water to flow again.
Snaking is typically best for:
- Minor hair clogs in bathroom drains
- Small localized blockages
- Isolated obstructions close to the drain opening
- Quick relief when buildup is minimal
Snaking is often the first step for simpler clogs because it is fast and effective at restoring immediate flow. However, it does not fully clean the pipe walls. Grease, sludge, and residue may remain and can lead to future blockages if not properly addressed.
Hydro-Jetting vs Snaking: Which Is Right for Your Home?
The appropriate drain-cleaning method depends on the severity and cause of the clog. We may recommend snaking for minor, one-time clogs. For more serious or recurring problems, hydro jetting provides a deeper, longer-lasting clean.
Hydro-jetting is often recommended when:
- Drains clog repeatedly
- Multiple fixtures are backing up
- You notice slow drainage throughout the home
- There are signs of a sewer line obstruction
