Our Drain Snaking Process
When you call Bill Howe, we take the time to understand your problem and recommend the right solution. Here’s what you can expect from our standard drain snaking process:
Initial Inspection
We assess the problem area and determine the best access point.
Snaking the Drain
Our plumber inserts the drain snake into the line to dislodge or extract the clog.
Flow Testing
We run water through the system to ensure full drainage.
Cleanup and Advice
We clean the work area and share tips to help you prevent future clogs.
When to Choose Snaking Over Hydro Jetting
Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to scour the inside of your pipes, while snaking physically removes or breaks apart clogs. Snaking is ideal for:
- Older or fragile pipes that may not tolerate high pressure
- Localized blockages in sinks, tubs, or shower drains
- Minor backups caused by hair, grease, or food debris
If we believe hydro jetting is a better fit, we’ll walk you through the reasons and provide a clear recommendation. Your safety and satisfaction always come first.

We use advanced inspection equipment to locate the source of sewer problems and recommend the most effective repair solution.
Leak Detection
If you’ve noticed higher water bills, water stains, or mold growth, you may have a water leak that needs immediate attention. Our local team provides responsive, professional leak detection services to locate hidden leaks behind walls, beneath floors, or within underground plumbing lines.
