What if you could solve your drain problems permanently instead of temporarily?
You've got a slow drain. Or recurring clogs. Or multiple fixtures backing up. You've probably had a plumber snake it before — it worked for a while, then came back. You need to understand why the clog returns and what actually stops it from happening again.
Standard drain cleaning (snaking) removes the immediate blockage. Hair, soap buildup, or debris gets pulled out or pushed through. It works fast. But it's temporary.
What you experience: Drain flows freely for a while. Problem usually returns in weeks or months.
Hydro jetting uses pressurized water to blast away everything inside the pipe — buildup, grease deposits, mineral accumulation, even tree roots. The entire pipe interior gets cleaned, not just the blockage removed.
What you experience: Drain clears completely. Stays clear for years because the pipe is actually clean, not just temporarily opened.
Not all clogs need the same treatment. A simple debris clog gets snaked. A grease-caked line needs jetting. A tree root intrusion needs specialized attention. We diagnose first, then recommend the right solution.
What matters: You pay for the right fix, not an oversized solution or repeated temporary fixes.
Multiple backed-up fixtures or sewage smell means an emergency. We dispatch same-day for these. We clear the blockage and prevent property damage.
What you get: Fast response. Problem solved. Your home functioning again.
We refuse to use temporary fixes when permanent solutions exist. Snaking clears the immediate blockage but leaves debris on the pipe walls. That debris accumulates again. The clog returns in weeks or months.
Hydro jetting removes everything. We use pressurized water to blast away buildup, grease, roots, and mineral deposits — cleaning the entire pipe interior. It reads like aggressive, but it's the difference between temporary relief and lasting solution.
Yes, upfront it costs more than snaking. But think about what you're avoiding:
One hydro jetting service ($400–$800 depending on line length) clears the problem for years. Compare that to three snake visits per year at $200 each — $600 annually — plus risk of bigger failures.
You're not choosing expensive. You're choosing to stop paying repeatedly for the same problem.
Step 1: Diagnostic. We inspect the drain line with a camera to see what's causing the clog — grease buildup, tree roots, mineral deposits, or debris accumulation. The camera shows us what we're dealing with.
Step 2: Pressure Assessment. We determine the right water pressure for your pipes. Too little and the clog doesn't clear. Too much and we risk pipe damage. We dial it in specifically for your situation.
Step 3: Hydro Jetting Execution. We run pressurized water through the line, breaking apart buildup and flushing it through. For most Southern Shores homes, this takes 30 minutes to two hours depending on line length and blockage severity.
Step 4: Post-Jetting Camera Inspection. We run the camera again to confirm the line is clean. You see the before and after. No guessing whether it worked.
Step 5: Your Prevention Plan. We discuss what caused the clog — grease from the kitchen, roots infiltrating the line, or mineral buildup. We suggest changes to prevent recurrence.
A homeowner with chronic kitchen sink clogs had the line snaked quarterly. Every three months the clog returned. We performed hydro jetting, cleaned out years of grease buildup, and recommended he strain cooking oil instead of pouring it down the drain. Result: No clogs in three years. One service solved a recurring $800 annual problem.
This isn't hypothetical. This happens regularly. Hydro jetting doesn't just fix the immediate problem — it resets the system and extends the timeline before problems return.
A: For most pipes, yes. We assess pipe material and condition first. Old cast iron or clay pipes can be fragile. We use lower pressure on these. We won't damage your pipes — we adjust technique to match your plumbing's reality.
A: Depends on the cause. If the clog was grease buildup from normal kitchen use, jetting lasts years if you're mindful about what goes down the drain. If the cause was tree roots, roots will eventually return — maybe 3–5 years. We'll tell you the realistic timeline for your situation.
A: Yes. That's where hydro jetting is most valuable. Main line clogs from grease, roots, or debris can be catastrophic. Hydro jetting clears them completely. For main lines, hydro jetting is one of the best investments you can make.
A: $400–$800 typically. Longer or more difficult lines might run higher. We quote after camera inspection shows us what we're dealing with.
A: If it's a single fixture clog, snaking is fine. If multiple drains are slow or one drain clogs repeatedly, hydro jetting makes sense. We'll recommend based on your actual situation.
A slow or backing up drain isn't usually the fixture's fault. It's a symptom of what's happening upstream in your drainage line.
The insight: A clog is a symptom. Diagnosis determines the solution. Ignoring the underlying cause means paying for repeated temporary fixes. Hydro jetting solves it once.
Free drain inspection with camera. We'll show you what's causing the clog and recommend whether snaking or hydro jetting is the right solution.
