Drain snaking uses a metal cable with cutting blades to punch a hole through blockages, while hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to completely clean your pipe walls. Think of snaking as poking a hole through a clog versus hydro jetting as power-washing your entire pipe interior.
Snaking typically costs less upfront but only provides temporary relief. The debris remains stuck to your pipe walls, so clogs return quickly. Hydro jetting removes all the buildup – grease, mineral deposits, tree roots, and accumulated debris – leaving your pipes in like-new condition.
The results speak for themselves. After snaking, many customers need repeat service within months. After hydro jetting, most customers enjoy clear drains for years. While hydro jetting costs more initially, it’s actually more economical because you need service much less frequently. Plus, it’s environmentally friendly since we use only water, no harsh chemicals.
