When it comes to clearing stubborn clogs and blockages from your drains, two common methods are drain snaking and hydro-jetting. Here's what you need to know about the differences between these two techniques:

• Drain Snaking: Drain snaking involves using a flexible metal cable with an auger or cutting head attached to break up and remove blockages from inside the drain pipe. While effective for minor clogs, drain snaking may not completely clear stubborn or deep-seated blockages.
• Hydro-Jetting: Hydro-jetting uses high-pressure water to blast away debris, grease, and other obstructions from inside your drain pipes. This method is highly effective for clearing even the toughest clogs and can also remove built-up scale and residue from the pipe walls.

Which Method is Right for You?

• For Minor Clogs: Drain snaking may be sufficient to clear minor clogs and restore proper drainage.
• For Stubborn Blockages: If you're dealing with stubborn or recurring clogs, hydro-jetting is often the best solution for achieving long-lasting results.
• For Preventative Maintenance: Regular hydro-jetting can help prevent clogs and blockages from forming in the first place, making it an excellent choice for preventative maintenance.
