When you have a stubborn clog in your 951 home, your first instinct might be to reach for a plunger or call for a standard drain snake. While “rooting” or snaking a drain is a great temporary fix, it often leaves behind the root cause of the problem. For a truly deep clean, homeowners in Riverside County are turning to hydro-jetting.
At Davis Plumbing, we want to help you choose the right tool for the job. Here is the breakdown of snaking versus hydro-jetting for your residential pipes.
The Standard Drain Snake (Snaking)
A drain snake is a flexible metal cable that physically punches a hole through a clog. It is excellent for “soft” clogs like a bundle of hair or a toy stuck in a pipe. However, if your pipes are lined with years of grease, soap scum, or hard water scale, the snake just pokes a hole through the middle, leaving the walls of the pipe filthy and ready to clog again in a few months.
The Power of Hydro-Jetting
Hydro-jetting uses highly pressurized water (up to 4,000 PSI) to scrub the internal walls of your plumbing. Think of it like a pressure washer for the inside of your pipes.
- Removes Everything: It blasts away grease, mineral scale, and even small tree roots that a snake might miss.
- Longer Lasting: Because it restores the pipe to its original diameter, you won’t need another septic service near me for a long time.
- Safe for the Environment: No harsh chemicals are used—just the power of pure water to clear your septic system lines.
When Should You Choose Hydro-Jetting?
If you find yourself calling a plumber for the same drain every six months, you don’t have a clog—you have dirty pipes. Hydro-jetting is the permanent solution for recurring kitchen sink clogs, slow-moving main lines, and clearing out debris before a septic tank inspection.
