High-Pressure Hydro Jetting
Hydro jetting uses high pressure water pumped deep into drains to clear out blockages. This cleans the walls of the pipes as well to prevent further build up and removes grease, stuck particles, debris and backup. It is an effective technique used in cleaning the downspouts, drains, pipes and sewer lines using maximal water pressure to unclog debris and buildup that accumulates over time. The process is efficient, cost effective and environmentally safe and rids you of potential issues in future.
Plumbing Snakes: Traditional Alternative To Hydro Jetting
Plumbing snakes, also called plumbing augers, are long tubes that have blades attached at the end which can be inserted into the drain to clear out blockages. It works effectively against soft clogs by pulling them out of the drain. It reaches the clog, pushes through it and extracts it out the same way it was inserted. They come in various shapes for diffferent uses.
Hydro jetting has certain benefits over plumbing snakes because they can work against the toughest of blockages which snakes cannot penetrate through.

Hydro Jetting vs Plumbing Snake
Hydro jetting and snake are effective methods for clearing up clogged drains. Each of them, however, have different usage depending on the level of blockage. For smaller and softer obstructions, plumbing snakes do the work cheaper. However, for tougher clogs, hydro jetting has to be used.
