Which one does the best cleaning job?<\/p>\n<h3>Understanding the difference<\/h3>\n<p>To answer the question, we need to look at what exactly each tool does. Drain snakes, which also come in simple consumer models, consist of a flexible metal coil that can drill down into obstructions in drains and break them and remove them. A hydro-jetter sprays out high-pressure blasts of water along the interior of a drainpipe, with a special nozzle directing the blasts in all directions.<\/p>\n<h3>Why the hydro-jetter is better<\/h3>\n<p>Drain snakes \u00ad<em>do<\/em> have a role in cleaning drains, and we recommend using a store-bought drain snake rather than ever pouring any caustic chemical \u201ccleaners\u201d down a drain. But a drain snake doesn\u2019t provide actual thorough cleaning. It can take care of clogs, but even the best motorized drain snake doesn\u2019t have the complete cleaning power of a hydro-jetter. Hydro-jetting uses water pressure to also cut through grease and the debris inside the drain. In the hands of a professional (and <em>only<\/em> professionals should use them), a hydro-jetter can restore a drainpipe or sewer line to almost new condition. A drain snake will leave behind debris that will make it easy for build-up to start up once more, while a hydro-jetter leaves nothing behind but a smooth surface.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you have a tough clog or you want to arrange for routine drain cleaning services, go with a company like ours that put the hydro-jetter to its best use.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>When you need <a href=\"\/drain-and-sewer\/hydro-jetting\">professional drain cleaning from hydro-jetting experts<\/a> for either your home or business, make the call to Modern Plumbing Industries, Inc.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Professional drain cleaning is one our specialties at MPI, and we provide it both for homes and businesses in the Orlando area.
