Hydro jetting is worth it when clogs keep returning, or when grease, scale, or roots coat the pipe walls. It scours the line more thoroughly than cabling, which often just punches a hole through the blockage. Expect $350 to $1,500+. A camera inspection first confirms it's the right call.
Cabling is cheaper and fine for simple, one-off clogs. Hydro jetting is better for whole-line buildup.
Jetting is not ideal for fragile or damaged pipes; a camera inspection helps assess pipe condition first.
For recurring main-line issues, jetting plus a camera inspection can save money over repeated cabling visits.
