Sewer Snaking & Jetting
Clear stubborn clogs
Swift resolution to sewer line woes using state-of-the-art snaking and hydro-jetting to restore your plumbing with minimal disruption.
What Is Sewer Snaking & Jetting?
Sewer snaking and hydro-jetting are professional drain-cleaning techniques used to clear blockages from your home's main sewer line and branch drains. Snaking, also called cabling, uses a motorized auger to break through clogs and pull debris back out of the line. Hydro-jetting uses a high-pressure water stream, often 3,000 PSI or more, to scour the inside walls of the pipe, removing grease, scale, roots, and years of accumulated buildup that a cable alone cannot reach.
Why Is Sewer Snaking & Jetting Important?
A clogged sewer line is more than an inconvenience. It can cause sewage backups into tubs, showers, and floor drains, damage flooring and drywall, and create serious health hazards inside the home. Regular cleaning keeps wastewater flowing freely, prevents emergency overflows, and extends the life of your sewer pipes by removing the deposits that lead to corrosion and root intrusion. Hydro-jetting in particular leaves the pipe walls nearly as clean as the day they were installed.
When Should You Consider Sewer Snaking & Jetting?
Call for snaking or jetting at the first signs of trouble: multiple slow drains, gurgling toilets, sewage odors, or water backing up into a lower-level fixture when you run an upstairs sink or washer. Homes with mature trees, older clay or cast-iron sewer lines, or a history of repeat clogs benefit from preventive jetting every 12 to 24 months to stay ahead of root intrusion and grease buildup.
