Hydro-Jetting and How It Goes Beyond the Drain Snag for Getting Rid of Clogs

Clogged drains are more than a minor inconvenience. Buildup from grease, soap, hair, and even tree roots can restrict your plumbing system and eventually cause backups. While a drain snake is often the first tool used to address a blockage, hydro-jetting goes far beyond a simple snag to deliver a deeper, longer-lasting clean.

At Peaden Air Conditioning, Plumbing & Electrical, our Peaden Pros provide professional drain cleaning in Tallahassee, TN tailored to the specific condition of your pipes. With always upfront pricing and a 100% satisfaction guarantee, you can trust our team to recommend the right approach for your home.

What a Drain Snake Does

A drain snake, also known as an auger, uses a flexible cable inserted into the pipe to break apart or pull out a clog. The rotating head cuts through obstructions, creating an opening that allows water to pass again.

Drain snaking is best suited for:

  • Minor hair clogs in sinks and tubs
  • Small, localized blockages
  • Obstructions close to the drain opening
  • Quick relief for isolated slow drains

Snaking is effective for restoring flow in many situations. However, it typically clears a path through the clog rather than fully cleaning the inside walls of the pipe. Grease, sludge, and residue often remain behind, which can allow buildup to accumulate again over time.

How Hydro-Jetting Goes Further

Hydro-jetting uses highly pressurized water to thoroughly scour the interior of your plumbing system. A specialized hose with a precision nozzle is inserted into the drain line, blasting water in multiple directions to remove debris and buildup.

Hydro-jetting is ideal for:

  • Heavy grease accumulation
  • Sludge and soap residue coating pipe walls
  • Recurring clogs that return after snaking
  • Slow drainage throughout the home
  • Tree root intrusion in sewer lines

Unlike a drain snake, hydro-jetting cleans the full diameter of the pipe. It removes years of buildup, restoring the pipe to a much cleaner condition and reducing the likelihood of future blockages.

Choosing the Right Method for Your Home

Not every clog requires hydro-jetting, and not every pipe is a candidate without proper inspection. Older or damaged pipes may need evaluation before high-pressure cleaning is performed.

Our Peaden Pros are trained to:

  • Diagnose the root cause of drain issues
  • Inspect pipes for structural integrity
  • Determine whether snaking or hydro-jetting is appropriate
  • Deliver safe and effective results

Avoid relying on chemical drain cleaners that can corrode pipes and create additional damage. Professional drain cleaning protects your plumbing system and helps prevent costly repairs.
