Yes — hydro jetting effectively restores flow in slow drains by clearing pipe wall buildup.
A slow drain is usually a partially blocked drain — there is still some flow, but the opening has been narrowed by buildup. The buildup might be grease coating the walls, scale deposits, accumulated soap scum and hair, or early-stage root intrusion.
Snaking a slow drain might restore flow temporarily by punching through the thickest spot. Jetting clears the full circumference of the pipe wall, restoring close to original diameter. The difference in how long the fix lasts is significant.
If you have multiple slow drains throughout the house, that points to a main line issue rather than individual fixture problems. A camera inspection will confirm whether it is a main line buildup, a partial main line blockage, or individual fixture drain issues.
