Drain snaking uses a flexible metal cable to break through clogs and pull out debris. It’s effective for most common blockages like hair, soap buildup, and small root intrusions. Think of it as targeted clog removal – it gets your drain flowing again quickly.
Hydro-jetting uses high-pressure water (up to 4,000 PSI) to completely clean the inside of your pipes. It removes everything – grease, scale, root fragments, years of buildup. It’s like giving your pipes a complete renovation from the inside out.
For routine clogs, snaking usually does the job perfectly. For recurring problems, heavy grease buildup, or when you want your pipes as clean as possible, hydro-jetting is worth the extra cost. We’ll recommend what makes sense for your specific situation, not what makes us the most money.
