Snaking vs Hydro Jetting & Your Kingston Home
Hi Kingston, John THE Plumber here to talk about Snaking vs Hydro Jetting! We get an amount of calls that you have a blockage of sorts and that a plunger isn’t cutting the mustard. It usually means that your blockage is solid enough that a more forceful tool is required to clean the drain. Professional Plumbers like us will use one of two solutions for blockages and pipe cleaning which are known as “hydro jetting” and “plumbing snakes”. For us to decide which method is best for you we need to assess the root cause of the problem. Once the cause has been determined we can then tell you what will be best for your particular situation. Below we explain each method so you can understand better what we are talking about.
Your Snaking vs Hydro Jetting Guide
NOTE: If you have one of those older homes in the Kingston area, you may well still have older and more fragile pipes. If this is this case the water pressure from these hoses could cause substantial damage. If fragile pipes are discovered, a plumber will most likely decide to go with the snaking method to achieve maximum results without causing you further problems.
NOTE: The one downside to the snake method is that it only provides a temporary solution. It will break down and remove the debris, but buildup in your pipe will continue to grow which will means more clogs for you down the road. To truly rid your pipes of this issue, utilizing a hydro jet after the snake is a perfect combination.
If your plunger isn’t cutting through your blockages and/or you have any other plumbing questions, give us a call today at John THE Plumber Kingston and we’ll be pleased to send one of our knowledgeable professionals over to you right away to discuss these options with you further.
