Why Does My Drain Keep Clogging?

Why Does My Drain Keep Clogging? — Answered by Sunburst Environmental, Metro Atlanta’s drain jetting specialists.

Recurring clogs almost always mean the root cause wasn’t addressed — just poked through.

When a drain snake clears a clog, it creates an opening through the blockage. If the blockage is grease coating the walls of the pipe, the snake makes a hole in the thickest spot but leaves the buildup. The clog comes back — sometimes within weeks — because you never actually cleared the pipe walls.

Root intrusion works the same way. Snake it out, the roots come back. Until you address the full root mass and identify where the roots are entering, the cycle continues.

What you need: a camera inspection to see exactly what is causing the recurring clog, and jetting to clear it completely from the pipe wall — not just punch through it. After jetting, the camera will show you whether the pipe looks clean. That’s the baseline you should have for any pipe you have been fighting with.
