What's different about drain cleaning in York County
In the covered towns, about 11% 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 54% built since 2000, repeat clogs are more often construction debris or a poorly sloped section, which a camera shows quickly.

Drain cleaning in York County: questions
How do I know a clog is in the main line?
Several slow fixtures at once, a tub gurgling when the toilet flushes, or an overflow at the lowest drain point to the main line.
Is hydro jetting better than snaking?
For grease and buildup on pipe walls, usually; for a single obstruction, a cable is often enough. Inspect fragile older pipe before jetting.
