Island drains work harder than most people realize. Between the historic cottages and the kitchens that never stop cooking, a Coronado drain has usually been collecting grease, soap, and buildup for a very long time. So when it clogs and the snake clears it, here's what really happened. A hole got punched through the blockage. The coating on the pipe walls, all those years of it, stayed put, and it starts closing the hole again the day the plumber leaves.
Hydro jetting takes the opposite approach. Instead of tunneling through the buildup, a high pressure stream of water washes the pipe walls down completely. Think of washing a greasy pan instead of scraping a channel through the middle of it. When the hydro jetting is done, the line is genuinely clean inside, and the buildup that kept rebuilding that clog is gone.
Is it always necessary? No. Hydro jetting earns its keep on the jobs that need it, and we'll tell you straight when yours doesn't. Some clogs need nothing more than a snake. The technician looks at what your line is actually doing, tells you straight, and recommends what fits. You decide from there. Every time.
