When dealing with clogged drains or sewer lines, many homeowners ask: should I snake it or hydro jet it?
Here’s the difference.
Drain Snaking
Snaking uses a rotating cable to break through clogs. It’s effective for:
- Minor blockages
- Hair clogs
- Small obstructions
However, snaking does not clean pipe walls.
Hydro Jetting
Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water (up to 4,000 PSI) to:
- Remove grease buildup
- Cut through tree roots
- Clean pipe walls completely
Hydro jetting restores pipes to near-original condition.
Which One Do You Need?
If you have recurring clogs or a main sewer line blockage, hydro jetting is often the better long-term solution.
