When a drain keeps clogging, the next step depends on where the blockage is and what is inside the line. Cabling and hydro jetting can both help, but they do different work.
A drain cable can break through a suitable obstruction and restore an opening. For a localized clog, that may be the right choice. If heavy grease or sludge remains along the pipe wall, the drain may slow again even after an opening is cleared.
Hydro jetting uses a controlled stream of water to clean buildup from a suitable pipe. It can be useful for certain recurring clogs and heavy deposits. Damaged or fragile piping may need another method, and jetting cannot repair a broken line or close an opening where roots enter.
We consider the symptoms, available cleanout, and pipe condition before recommending a method. A camera inspection may help when the clog keeps returning or pipe damage is suspected, although standing water or heavy buildup can limit what the camera shows.
