Hydro-Jetting vs. Snaking: Which Is Best for Bakersfield Sewers?
💦 Hydro-Jetting vs. Snaking: Which Is Best for Bakersfield Sewers?
If your sewer keeps backing up, you’ve probably heard about snaking and hydro-jetting — but which one is better for homes in Bakersfield?
At A3 Plumbing, we use both methods depending on the issue. Here’s how they compare and when you should request each service.
🧰 What Is Sewer Snaking?
Sewer snaking uses a long metal cable with a cutting head that drills through a blockage. It’s effective for:
- 💩 Clearing soft clogs like hair, toilet paper, or buildup
- 🚽 Quickly restoring flow to toilets or showers
- 🧼 Small obstructions in the main line
Snaking is fast and budget-friendly — but it doesn’t clean the full pipe.
💦 What Is Hydro-Jetting?
Hydro-jetting blasts the inside of the sewer pipe with high-pressure water (up to 4000 PSI). It removes:
- 🌳 Tree roots
- 🧽 Grease buildup
- 🪨 Sludge and scale
- 💥 Stubborn clogs that snaking can’t clear
The result? Your pipe is flushed out to near-original condition.
🏠 What’s Best for Bakersfield Homes?
Many older neighborhoods in Bakersfield — like Laurelglen, Kern City, and Spice Tract — have aging pipes that need more than a quick fix.
Here’s when to choose each:
✅ Choose Snaking for:
- One-time toilet backups
- Minor kitchen sink clogs
- Quick and simple jobs
✅ Choose Hydro-Jetting for:
- Roots or grease in main line
- Frequent backups in multiple drains
- Prepping for camera inspection or repair
