Standard drain cleaning uses mechanical snakes with rotating cables to break through blockages and remove debris. This works well for most common clogs like hair, soap buildup, and food particles. It’s the go-to method for routine drain maintenance.
Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water streams to completely clean pipe walls and remove years of accumulated buildup. It’s more thorough than snaking and works better for stubborn blockages, grease accumulation, and tree root intrusion. Think of it as deep cleaning versus regular cleaning.
For Moriches homes with recurring drain problems or very old pipes with significant buildup, hydro jetting provides better long-term results. However, it’s not suitable for all pipe types or conditions. A professional assessment determines which method will work best for your specific situation and pipes.
