Hydro Jetting V Electric Eel

Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to clear pipes and remove grease, roots, and buildup. An Electric Eel (drain snake) cuts through blockages with a rotating cable but doesn’t clean pipe walls as thoroughly. At The Drainage Surgeon, we combine both methods for the best and longest-lasting results.

Hydro Jetting

At The Drainage Surgeon, we rely on hydro jetting as one of the most advanced and reliable solutions for clearing and maintaining drains. Unlike older methods that simply break through a clog and leave debris behind, our hydro jetting service uses a powerful stream of high-pressure water to completely flush the pipe. This process not only clears away tough blockages such as grease, oil, food waste, hair, tree roots, and mineral scale, but it also thoroughly cleans the inner walls of the pipe. By doing so, it restores the pipe to near-original condition and reduces the likelihood of repeat blockages.


One of the greatest benefits of choosing The Drainage Surgeon’s hydro jetting service is its ability to provide a long-term solution rather than a quick fix. Because the water pressure removes residue and buildup that other methods leave behind, pipes remain clearer for longer periods, which means fewer service calls and lower maintenance costs over time. Our hydro jetting equipment is also versatile—it can be used on both small residential drains and large commercial sewer systems, making it suitable for a wide range of plumbing challenges.


Another advantage is that it’s an environmentally friendly option. Since it relies solely on the force of water, no harsh or harmful chemicals are required to clean the pipes, which makes it safer for both your plumbing system and the surrounding environment. It’s also safe for most types of piping when performed by our trained professionals, who carefully adjust the water pressure to the correct level.


For homeowners and businesses alike, The Drainage Surgeon provides peace of mind with hydro jetting. It’s a fast, efficient, and cost-effective method that doesn’t just treat the symptom of a blockage but addresses the underlying problem. By choosing hydro jetting with The Drainage Surgeon, you’re investing in a more durable and reliable drainage system that keeps everything flowing smoothly and helps prevent costly emergency repairs in the future.

Electric Eel

At The Drainage Surgeon, we also use the Electric Eel, a trusted and effective tool for clearing stubborn blockages. Sometimes called a drain snake, the Electric Eel uses a rotating metal cable with a cutting head that breaks through obstructions inside the pipe. This makes it highly effective at cutting through solid materials such as tree roots, tangled hair, food waste, and other debris that can build up and cause serious blockages. By physically breaking apart the obstruction, it restores water flow quickly and helps prevent immediate plumbing disruptions.


One of the key benefits of choosing The Drainage Surgeon’s Electric Eel service is its speed and efficiency. For many blockages, especially localized clogs, the Electric Eel provides a fast and straightforward solution without the need for more intensive methods. It’s a proven tool that has been relied on for decades and is suitable for many household and commercial drainage systems. Our experienced team knows how to handle the equipment safely and effectively, ensuring minimal disruption to your property while achieving the best results.


While the Electric Eel may not clean the pipe walls as thoroughly as hydro jetting, it remains an essential part of our toolkit at The Drainage Surgeon. In many cases, we use it as the first step to break through tough obstructions before following up with hydro jetting to fully flush the system. This combination approach allows us to provide both immediate relief and long-lasting results for our customers.


For homeowners and businesses dealing with sudden clogs, the Electric Eel is a practical, cost-effective, and reliable option. By choosing The Drainage Surgeon, you can trust that our skilled professionals will select the best method for your situation, whether that’s the Electric Eel, hydro jetting, or a combination of both. Our goal is always the same: to keep your drains flowing freely and to provide solutions that last.
