Why Your Drains Keep Clogging (And How To Stop It)

Recurring clogs usually point to a deeper cause. Here's what's really happening in your pipes and when hydro-jetting or a camera inspection makes sense.

An occasional clog is normal. A drain that clogs again and again is telling you something — and pouring more chemical cleaner down it usually makes things worse, not better.

Recurring kitchen clogs are often grease and food scale coating the pipe. Recurring shower clogs are usually hair and soap. But when multiple drains back up at once, the cause is often deeper: tree-root intrusion, a bellied pipe, or buildup in the main sewer line.

That's when a camera inspection earns its keep — it shows exactly what's happening inside the pipe. For grease, scale, and roots, hydro-jetting scours the pipe walls clean in a way snaking can't.
