Match the tool to the blockage
Soft clogs get the cable auger, grease and scale get hydro-jetting, and root masses get a cutting head. With Orangeburg pockets among PVC planned-community lines in Carol Stream, pressure and tooling stay matched to what the camera saw — the wrong method on fragile pipe causes more harm than the blockage.
Flush and verify flow
