Drain snaking pokes a hole through the blockage, while hydro jetting completely removes all buildup from the entire pipe diameter. Think of snaking as making a small tunnel through the clog, while hydro jetting washes everything away.
Snaking provides temporary relief but often leaves debris clinging to the pipe walls, which means the same clog comes back within weeks or months. Hydro jetting removes years of accumulated grease, soap scum, and other buildup, giving you much longer-lasting results.
For minor clogs, snaking might be sufficient and more cost-effective. But for recurring problems or severe blockages, hydro jetting provides the thorough cleaning your pipes need.
