When drains clog in San Francisco’s older plumbing, choosing the right cleaning method matters. Here’s a side-by-side:
| Feature | Traditional Snaking | Hydro Jetting |
|---|---|---|
| Mechanism | Flexible cable breaks through clogs | High-pressure water blasts away debris |
| Best For | Hair, small blockages | Grease, scale, mineral buildup |
| Damage Risk | Low | Very low with professional equipment |
| Longevity of Results | Short-term | Long-term cleanliness |
| Price Range | $100–$200 | $300–$600 |
Hydro jetting not only clears the immediate clog but also scours pipe walls, reducing future backups. Traditional snaking works for minor hair or soap scum issues but often leaves residue behind.
At Dr. Drain Plumbing & Rooter, we assess your line and recommend the most cost-effective approach. Both services come with a satisfaction guarantee.
