When it comes to drain cleaning, hydro-getting is not necessarily better than snaking and vice versa. Both drain cleaning methods are effective at cleaning your drains. Hydro-Jetting versus snaking is more a matter of how severe the clog is, and which method is better for your situation. Each has its pros and cons - continue scrolling to learn more.
Snaking (Drain Snaking)
Drain snaking is a common plumbing technique used to clear clogs in your drains and sewer pipe. It involves inserting a flexible metal cable, called a snake or auger, into your drain and rotating it to break up or remove the blockage.
Snaking is effective for removing basic clogs and blockages caused by items like hair or small debris. It's a cost-effective solution that quickly clears the obstruction. While snaking can clear the drain, it’s not as effective as removing all of the buildup, so the clog could come back.
Hydro-Scrub Jetting
Hydro-jetting is a more powerful drain cleaning method. Our hydro-jetting services are known as HydroScrub-Jetting. It’s the same service, but we use our own equipment. With HydroScrub®-jetting, we utilize high-pressure water to thoroughly clean your sewer pipes. It’s great at removing stubborn grease, scale, and sediment buildup.
HydroScrub®-jetting is ideal for more severe blockages in your sewer line or if your drain pipes need a deep clean. HydroScrub®-jetting is very effective but can damage some older sewer lines and drain pipes. No need to worry. Before we recommend this service, we’ll thoroughly inspect your drain lines to ensure they can withstand the pressure.
