The right method depends on the clog. Family Plumbing matches the tool to the blockage, from a cable snake for a single fixture to high-pressure jetting for a grease-packed main line. When a clog keeps returning, a sewer camera inspection finds the cause.

Hydro Jetting Versus Snaking
Drain snaking
A drain snake, or cable machine, pushes through a clog and breaks it up. It works well for a single clogged fixture or a localized blockage and is often the right first step.
Hydro jetting
Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to scour the inside of the pipe, clearing grease, scale, and roots that a snake only punches a hole through. For a main line that clogs repeatedly, jetting cleans the full diameter of the pipe and buys far more time before the next clog.
Family Plumbing recommends the method that fits the clog rather than defaulting to the most expensive option.
When a Clog Keeps Coming Back
A drain that clogs again within weeks of a cleaning is a sign of a deeper problem, such as a grease buildup, a root intrusion, or a damaged section of pipe. Rather than repeat the same cleaning, Family Plumbing runs a camera inspection to find the cause, then recommends jetting or a targeted repair.
