Is Professional Drain Cleaning Worth It?
Yes, professional drain cleaning is a worthwhile investment.

- Saving you time. Professionals can often clear a clog much faster than a DIY attempt, saving you time and frustration.
- Being a preventative measure against other issues. Regular professional cleaning can identify potential issues early on and help you avoid major issues down the line.
- Offering damage protection. Improper DIY methods can damage your pipes. Professionals know how to clear clogs without causing harm.
- Protecting your health and safety. Some clogs can harbor harmful bacteria. Professionals have the protective gear and knowledge to handle these situations safely.

Snaking vs. Hydro Jetting
Snaking and hydro jetting are two methods for clearing clogged drains. Snaking uses a flexible cable with a corkscrew tip to break up and remove the clog. It's best for smaller, less stubborn clogs and can be quicker and cheaper than jetting.
However, snaking may not remove all the clog and can push debris deeper into the pipe. Hydro jetting, on the other hand, uses high-pressure water to blast away debris and buildup. It's ideal for stubborn clogs, grease, tree roots, and overall pipe cleaning. While more expensive, hydro jetting effectively removes all debris, prevents future clogs, and can improve pipe condition.
Tips for Avoiding Drain Clogs
Preventing drain clogs is essential for maintaining a smooth-running plumbing system and avoiding costly repairs.
Implementing the following simple habits can significantly reduce the likelihood of experiencing clogged drains:
- Regularly dispose of grease and oil properly. You should never pour oil or grease down your drains. Instead, after they cool down, dispose of them in the trash.
- Avoid flushing wipes, paper towels, or other non-flushable items. Even items that claim to be flushable can clog your drains, so you should be mindful of what items you flush.
- Utilize drain covers to catch hair and food particles. As we mentioned, hair can lead to clogs and buildup, so investing in a drain cover can help you protect your drains and minimize food particle clogs in your kitchen.
- Schedule routine professional drain cleaning. Regular maintenance can help you prevent major clogs and become aware of small issues sooner rather than later.
- Be mindful of what you pour down the drain. In addition to not putting grease down the disposal, you should avoid pouring coffee grounds, rice, pasta, or other solids into the sink.
