What's different about drain cleaning in Gaston County
In the covered towns, about 25% of homes predate 1960. Clay and cast iron laterals of that era let roots in at the joints, so repeat main-line clogs there are often roots. In the 34% built since 2000, repeat clogs are more often construction debris or a poorly sloped section, which a camera shows quickly.

How do I know a clog is in the main line?

Is hydro jetting better than snaking?
