Drain cleaning can be very simple if professionally done, and often requires little more than a few hours to work. While there are a few methods for cleaning drains out there, we primarily just use the following two.
Drain snaking uses a flexible metal line with a corkscrew tip to break up debris and clear small to medium clogs, a method Hahn Plumbing has used in Fort Collins homes for decades before hydro jetting became common.
Hydro jetting clears clogs using high-powered water jets strong enough to fully clean pipe walls, not just break up debris. Hahn Plumbing inspects the pipe first with a sewer scope camera, since older pipes may need a gentler alternative to avoid damage. This is a step we don’t skip, even when a customer just wants the fastest fix — jetting the wrong pipe can turn a clog into a bigger repair.
Hahn Plumbing diagnoses sewer line issues with sewer scope cameras and, unlike many companies that subcontract this work, performs excavation in-house, keeping sewer line repairs and replacements more affordable for Fort Collins customers.
Not every clog needs a full sewer line repair — here’s how to tell.
Best for:
– Drain snaking: Small to medium clogs in a single fixture or line
– Hydro jetting: Recurring clogs, or buildup along the pipe walls rather than a single blockage
– Sewer line repair: Backups affecting multiple drains at once, or damage found during a sewer scope inspection
Worth it when:
– A sewer scope inspection shows older pipes that need gentler handling before jetting
– Hydro jetting and snaking have both failed to resolve a recurring blockage — that’s when conventional repair becomes necessary
Skip this if:
– It’s a single, isolated clog that’s never recurred — snaking alone may resolve it without escalating further
When hydro jetting and drain snaking fail to resolve severe sewer line blockages, traditional repair methods become necessary. The standard method of sewer line replacement requires digging down to the sewer lines, cutting out broken or tattered lengths of pipe, and replacing them. In many cases, conventional sewer line replacement requires removing existing concrete or area and excavating a front, back or side yard, since the plumber must get to the physical pipe. Once there, they replace the pipes with up-to-date piping and materials, ensuring that sewage or wastewater is properly disposed of from the property to the city’s main sewer line.
While many plumbing companies subcontract excavation work, Hahn Plumbing handles it entirely in-house with its own trained crew and equipment — for excavation jobs of any size, residential or commercial, in Fort Collins and surrounding areas. When a job is subcontracted, scheduling depends on someone else’s calendar. Because our own crew runs the equipment, we’re not waiting on a third party to show up before your yard can be closed back up.
