What is hydro-jetting?

Hydro-jetting is a high-pressure water drain cleaning method used to clear out blockages and thoroughly clean the interior walls of pipes.

When would I need one?

Severe Blockages: Ideal for severe blockages that snakes can’t clear such as grease buildup, sludge, or tree roots.

Recurring clogs: Frequent clogs or backups may require hydro-jetting which can remove accumulated debris that a drain snake might miss.

Routine Maintenance for Commercial Properties: Businesses such as restaurants, which deal with high amounts of grease, often use hydro-jetting as preventative measures to keep drains clear.

Advantages:

Thorough cleaning

Effective for removing tree roots

Longer lasting solution

What is drain cleaning?

Snake drain cleaning uses a long, flexible metal cable with a coil or blade at the end, which when inserted into a drain breaks or dislodges clogs.

When would I need one?

Simple Blockages: Ideal for minor blockages such as hair, food, or small debris accumulated in the drain.

Clogs in Small Drain Lines: Snaking is effective in clearing smaller lines such as toilets, showers, bathtubs, or laundry lines.

Older Pipes: If the plumbing system is fragile or old, snaking is a safer option compared to hydro-jetting, as it does not put the same pressure on the pipes.

Advantages:

Lower Cost

Safer for Older Pipes

Effective for Small Clogs
