Drain clogs are a household nightmare for all of
us. The last thing we need in our busy life are
clogged toilets and sinks. These clogged water
pipes are the route for all our waste and dirty
water to go out of our homes, now can you imagine
if that stops?
4
In such scenarios, when your normal plunger
doesnt seem to do the job, youre left with two
options- snaking and hydro jetting. Each method
has their advantages and should be performed by a
professional only. Understanding the difference
between these techniques can help you choose
which one works for you.
5
What is Snaking?

• Snaking is the method where a long flexible
  cable is inserted into the pipe. One end of the
  cable consists of a cork-screw like coil, which
  breaks up and penetrates through the clogs it
  encounters in the pipe.

6
What is Hydro Jetting?

• Hydro Jetting ( also known as water jetting)
  uses high pressure water coming from a hose
  connected to a machine that creates pressurised
  water. This powerful stream of water cleans out
  any debris, tree roots or clogs in the way.

7
Benefits and Drawbacks-

• It is obvious that both these methods work but
  how to be sure which one is for you? It is best
  to use advice from a skilled technician at
  plumbing911 but here is a list of pros and cons-

8
Benefits of Snaking-

• Does not cause any damage to pipes, so is
  suitable for weak pipes or old buildings

9
Benefits of Hydro Jetting-

• No harmful chemicals are used as only a
  pressurised water stream is used to clean clogs.
• It is versatile as it can be used to clean both
  domestic and commercial pipe lines.
• It is very effective as it easily cleans out
  stubborn clogs and even tree roots.

10
Drawbacks of Hydro Jetting-

• Older and weaker pipelines may not be strong
  enough to handle the pressure.
• May not be much effective against severe drain
  obstructions

11
Which One To Choose?

• It really depends on the type of clog you have.
  If there is a deep clog on your sewer line or a
  very stubborn one, hydro jetting is the way to
  go.
• Snaking is a more basic method that works well
  on shallow clogs and can be done by individuals
  alone but its cleaning capabilities are limited.

12
On the other hand- hydro jetting, which cleans
the pipes like new isnt suitable for all sorts
of pipelines and may damage old pipes. It also
cant be attempted without a professional.
13
End Words

• Slow-moving drains and overflowing sinks are
  one of the most common household issues that
  occur on a regular basis. Both methods of
  resolving this issue are effective to some extent
  with their drawbacks.

14
The best way to determine the right technique
for you and your household is to contact your
local, professional plumbers. They have better
equipment and are well trained to diagnose and
treat your problem.
