Sewer Rodding Vs. Hydrojetting – What's Best for Your Home

  What do you do if while having your shower you unexpectedly find yourself standing in a pool of foamy water that will not drain away? The usual solution in those situations is to reach for a drain snake. But drain snakes are only good for dealing with blockages near the top of the drain. What about when the obstruction is deeper inside the system? Previously the only options would be to use a heavy-duty snake or corrosive chemicals, both of which can hurt your pipes. Two fairly new methods for solving clogged drains and sludge accumulation in pipes are sewer rodding and hydro jetting. While the new methods won’t replace time-tested methods like drain snakes, they are more effective in certain situations. What is sewer rodding and hydro jetting, when do you need them, and which is better for solving plumbing issues?
