Main-line backups, recurring clogs and slow drains need a focused sewer-and-drain approach—not a generic guess.

Multiple fixtures backing up, basement floor-drain activity, slow drains throughout the house or a repeat main-line stoppage can all point toward a deeper drainage problem.

No. Camera inspection is most useful when symptoms, repeat problems or the condition of the line make additional diagnosis worthwhile.
No. Drain cleaning restores flow. Sewer repair addresses failed pipe when cleaning alone cannot solve the underlying problem.
Tell us which fixtures are affected, whether anything is backing up, how long it has been happening and whether the line has been cleared before.
