Hi everyone,
I've been getting more calls lately for recurring drain clogs — situations where the customer says they've had the same drain snaked 2-3 times in the past year but it keeps backing up.
Wanted to get some experienced opinions:

At what point do you recommend a camera inspection instead of just snaking again?
How often do you find tree root intrusion vs. pipe bellies (sagging pipe) as the real cause?
For older homes with clay or cast-iron drain lines, is hydro-jetting usually the better long-term fix compared to standard snaking?
Curious how you guys handle these repeat-clog situations and what you tell customers about long-term solutions vs. quick fixes.
Thanks for any input!
