If the same sewer line keeps clogging after it has already been snaked, the blockage may be more than a simple plug. Grease, sludge, scale, wipes, and tree roots can build up along the inside of the pipe and cause the problem to return.
Why Sewer Clogs Keep Coming Back
A drain snake can open a path through a blockage, but it does not always clean buildup from the pipe walls. When debris or roots remain in the line, another clog can form in the same spot. That is when a sewer camera inspection and more thorough cleaning may make sense.
- Recurring main sewer backups
- Multiple drains slowing down at the same time
- Tree roots found during a camera inspection
- Grease or sludge buildup
- A line that was recently snaked but clogged again
When Hydro Jetting Can Help
Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water and specialized sewer nozzles to remove buildup from the inside of the line. For the right pipe and blockage, it can remove grease, sludge, debris, and roots more completely than basic snaking.

Camera Inspection Before and After Cleaning
Drain Pros LLC can use a sewer camera and locator to help identify where the blockage or buildup is located and verify the condition of the line. That helps determine whether snaking, root removal, or hydro jetting is the better approach.
