What’s the difference between snaking and hydro jetting?

Snaking clears a clog with a rotating cable at the blockage. Hydro jetting washes the line to remove buildup along the pipe walls. Snaking is best for simple obstructions. Hydro jetting is typically chosen for grease, scale, or tree roots. Our plumbers diagnose the cause first and match the method to your line. Avoid chemical drain cleaners; they are only temporary fixes. We service Novato and San Rafael.
