Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between "snaking" a drain and "hydro-jetting"?

A drain snake (or auger) uses a flexible metal cable with a specialized tip to physically punch a hole through a clog or retrieve an object, such as a hair mass or a wet wipe. It is highly effective for localized blockages but often leaves behind grease and scale on the pipe walls. Hydro-jetting, on the other hand, uses high-pressure water (up to 4,000 PSI) delivered through a multi-directional nozzle to literally “scrub” the interior of the pipe. This not only clears the clog but also removes the buildup that causes future snags, essentially returning the pipe to a “like-new” state.

Why does my drain keep clogging in the same spot every few months?

Recurring clogs in the same location almost always point to a structural defect rather than a simple obstruction. This is often caused by a “belly” or low spot in the pipe where it has sagged due to soil shifting, causing water and debris to pool rather than flow. It could also be a sign of a “channel” worn into the bottom of an old cast-iron pipe or a jagged “offset” at a pipe joint. When debris hits these imperfections, it slows down and accumulates, creating a new clog shortly after the last one was cleared.

Can a professional drain cleaning accidentally break my older pipes?

While professional equipment is designed to be safe, there is an inherent risk when cleaning extremely old, thin-walled pipes—particularly those made of rusted cast iron or brittle orangeburg (tar paper). High-pressure hydro-jetting or heavy-duty mechanical blades can potentially “find” a section of pipe that has already been thinned by decades of corrosion. This is why we prioritize a video camera inspection before performing high-pressure cleaning; it allows us to verify the pipe’s integrity and choose the cleaning method that provides the best results without compromising the plumbing.
