Snaking uses a flexible metal cable that rotates and pushes through clogs, breaking them apart while scraping buildup from pipe walls. It works effectively for most common clogs—hair, grease, food debris, and soap accumulation. We use different cable sizes depending on your drain type and pipe diameter.
Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water streams (up to 4,000 PSI) to completely clean pipe interiors. It removes all accumulated buildup, not just the immediate blockage, and can clear tree roots and mineral deposits that snaking cannot handle. Hydro jetting provides more thorough, longer-lasting results.
We select the appropriate method based on your specific problem and pipe condition. Routine clogs usually respond well to snaking, which is more cost-effective. Recurring problems, stubborn blockages, or situations requiring complete pipe cleaning benefit from hydro jetting’s superior cleaning power. We’ll explain which approach makes sense for your situation.
