Hydro Jetting vs. Drain Snaking: Which Does Your Clog Need?

Placeholder post. Replace with approved copy before launch.

A slow drain can come back again and again if the fix only punches a hole through the blockage. Choosing the right tool matters.

Drain snaking

A cable with a cutting head breaks up a clog at a specific point. It’s a good fit for:

  • A single slow sink or tub
  • A clog close to the fixture
  • Items that went down the drain by mistake

Hydro jetting

High-pressure water scours the full diameter of the pipe, flushing out grease, scale and roots that a snake can leave behind. It’s often the better choice for:

  • Repeat clogs in the same line
  • Grease buildup in kitchen lines
  • Root intrusion found on a camera inspection

How we decide

When a clog keeps coming back, we usually start with a camera inspection so we can see what’s in the line before choosing the method. See our drain cleaning and hydro jetting service.
