For a main sewer line clog, camera inspection followed by hydro jetting is the most effective solution.
When the main sewer line — the pipe that carries all your household drain water to the city sewer — is blocked, the problem affects the whole house. Multiple drains run slow or back up simultaneously. Toilets gurgle when other fixtures are used. Sewage may back up through the lowest drain.
Snaking a main line can clear a simple clog, but if the blockage is grease buildup, root intrusion, or debris accumulated along the line, snaking only punches a temporary hole. Jetting clears the full pipe diameter and removes the material from the walls.
Start with the camera: it shows you where the blockage is, what type it is, and whether the pipe has any structural issues that need addressing before jetting. Then jet with the right nozzle and pressure for what the camera showed. End with a post-jetting camera pass to confirm the line is clear.
