Why do drains keep clogging even after using store-bought cleaner?
Chemical cleaners burn a hole through the clog and leave the buildup ringing the pipe wall, so the blockage re-forms fast. Cabling or hydrojetting removes the buildup itself, which is why professional clearing lasts.
What does professional drain cleaning cost?
Single-drain cabling typically runs $100-$350 by industry estimates; a main line runs $200-$600. Hydrojetting, which scours grease and roots off the pipe wall, runs $350-$800 and lasts the longest.

Snaking or hydro jetting: which clears your drain?
A drain auger (snake) punches through soft blockages, hair, paper, food, and is the right first move for a single slow fixture. Hydro jetting scours the full pipe wall with high-pressure water, clearing grease, scale, and root fibers that snakes only poke holes through. Greasy kitchen lines and recurring main-line clogs are jetting territory.
Why does the same drain keep clogging?
Repeat clogs have structural causes: a bellied section holding water, root intrusion at a joint, scale narrowing old galvanized drains, or improper slope. Clearing the symptom monthly costs more than a camera inspection that finds the cause once. Chemical openers, for the record, damage older pipe and rarely fix anything past the trap.
When is a clog actually a sewer problem?
When more than one fixture backs up at once, or the lowest drain in the house gurgles when others run, the blockage sits in the main lateral, not a branch. That escalates from drain cleaning to sewer diagnosis. One drain, one fixture: cleaning. Whole house: camera first.
