Hydro jetting or rodding clears the blockage and cleans the pipe wall based on what the camera found.
The drain is tested to confirm it runs freely, and you hear what caused the clog.
In Homewood, IL, hydro jetting is a call local plumbers get often, and the reasons are local. Homewood is an established South Suburban village where many homes date back decades, which means original clay and cast iron sewer lines are common. Mature parkway trees add the other half of the equation: roots that work into aging pipe joints and cause slow drains and backups.
Hydro jetting uses a high-pressure stream of water, often up to 4,000 PSI, to scour the inside of a drain or sewer line. Instead of punching a single hole through a clog the way a snake does, jetting cleans the entire pipe wall, flushing out grease, soap scale, sludge, sediment, and tree roots so the line runs at full capacity again.
Local plumbers serving Homewood clear those lines with rodding or hydro jetting and use a sewer camera to confirm whether roots, grease, or pipe damage is the cause.
Snaking, also called rodding, is quick and works well for a single, localized clog close to the fixture. It breaks through the blockage but leaves most of the buildup behind on the pipe wall.

Jetting is the answer when a line keeps closing back up rather than clogging once. Why a Homewood line does that comes down to the age and material of the pipe.
Homewood's wastewater is treated by the Thorn Creek Basin Sanitary District, the same district that serves Chicago Heights, Crete, Park Forest, South Chicago Heights, and Steger. The district was created in 1928, which tells you something useful: the collection network feeding it has been developing for the better part of a century, and the pipe in the ground around Homewood spans many decades of materials and installation standards.
Homewood is also a village where the difference between clear water and sewage matters. Groundwater that gets into a sanitary sewer through cracked pipe, failed joints, or an improperly connected sump discharge is called inflow and infiltration, and it is what turns an ordinary rainstorm into a basement backup for the houses at the low end of a run. If your backups track with heavy rain rather than with how much laundry you did, that pattern is worth mentioning when you call.
Jetting is powerful, so pipe condition should be established first. On older clay or on a line with known cracks, a camera pass before jetting is the sensible order, because high pressure in an already failing pipe can make a bad joint worse. Ask the plumber whether they camera first, and ask to see the footage afterward.
