Plumbers handle pipe systems broadly. Drain jetting specialists focus on clearing and inspecting lines.
A plumber is licensed to install, repair, and replace pipe systems — new construction, pipe repair, fixture installation, water heater work, and more. Many plumbers also offer drain cleaning as one of many services, typically using a snake (auger) for simple clogs.
A drain jetting specialist like Sunburst Environmental focuses specifically on camera inspection and hydro jetting. We’re not licensed for pipe repair or installation — and that is actually a feature, not a limitation. Because we do not do repairs, we have zero financial incentive to tell you that you need one. Our diagnosis is honest by default.
The typical referral path: a plumber identifies that your pipe needs jetting and sends you to us. Or we camera inspect, find a structural problem you need repaired, and refer you back to a plumber. The two services complement each other.
If you have a plumbing repair need — leaking fixture, burst pipe, water heater failure — call a plumber. If you have a clog, slow drain, or need a camera inspection, call us.
