FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Hydro Jetting better than snaking?
Yes, hydro jetting is better than snaking. Hydro jetting is a more thorough way to clean your pipes than snaking. Snaking only clears the immediate area around the clog, while hydro jetting will clear your entire pipe. Hydro jetting is also less likely to damage your pipes than snaking.
Is a blocked drain classed as an emergency?
A blocked drain that has caused your property to flood is most definitely an emergency. We would class a blocked drain that is causing minor issues such as slow drainage as a priority call out. Contact us today for all your emergency plumbing needs.
Is sewer jetting worth it?
Sewer jetting is definitely worth it. Sewer jetting is a more thorough way to clean your pipes than snaking and is less likely to damage your pipes. Sewer jetting is also relatively inexpensive, so it’s a great way to keep your pipes clean and free of clogs. Sewer line maintenance is very critical because if left unchecked, small blockages can lead to big problems such as backups, overflows, and even sewage leaks.

If you have a clogged sewer line or are having any other plumbing problems, be sure to give us a call. Our experienced plumbers are available 24/7 to help you with all your plumbing needs.
