When it comes to drain-cleaning and clogged drain pipes, many people might prefer to have their drains snaked, or augered, to remove an obstruction. This is because snaking is significantly cheaper than hydro-jetting.
Why then do some still choose to hire a hydro-jetting service? Simply put, hydro jetting does a more effective job clearing out major obstructions. Where snaking can only clear a path through the pipe as wise as the auger itself, hydro jetting can clear the pipe completely.
But what is hydro jetting, exactly? Is the service really worth the extra cost, or does snaking do just as well for far less? Who can you call in the event that you do decide to have your drains hydro-jetted? Read on for answers to these and other important questions about hydro jetting.
What is Hydro Jetting & Why is it Needed?
Hydro jetting is a service that uses a highly pressurized stream of water to remove a clog or blockage from a drain or pipe. Often, small obstructions can be removed with an auger or even a plunger. If the blockage is more severe, however, then hydro jetting is the most effective way of cleaning the pipe.
Hydro-jetting may be needed if:
- Regular methods of drain cleaning, like snaking, won't clear more severe blockages.
- You experience slow drainage, recurring clogs, multiple drains clogging at one time, or a sewage back-up.
- You are having any kind of work done on your pipes (fixing a leak, repairing a crack, addressing a corrosion issue, etc.). Hydro jetting can make the job easier by removing any buildup in your pipes that may affect the outcome of the job.
Average Cost of Hydro Jetting Service
As with most plumbing services, the cost of hydro jetting depends on the unique needs of your home and plumbing system.
On average, hydro jetting services can run anywhere from $300 to upwards of $500, depending on the severity of the blockage, the location of the clog in the drain or line, and even the area in which you live.
In some more extreme cases, a complicated job could cost you as much as $1,000 at some plumbing services!
