Clearing the clog versus fixing the cause

A cable machine clears most single-fixture clogs; hydro jetting scours grease and roots. If backups keep returning, a camera inspection shows whether the line is cracked or sagging and whether trenchless repair is an option. Compare drain cleaning cost, hydro jetting cost and trenchless sewer repair cost.

Common questions

What causes repeat sewer backups in older San Diego homes?

Tree roots entering joints in clay or cast iron pipe, a sag that holds waste, or a partial collapse. A camera inspection shows which one you have.
