Plumbing roof vents, modern vs. old style

6. Well, I'm going to be giving jetting a try

I have had to call the guy about once a year at my daughter's house, and I'm going to give hydro jetting a try and see if it lasts longer.

I agree that you might just be able to snake in a lot of cases, but I don't think you should have to call a drain cleaner company every year. Shortly after we bought the house I live in, our sewer line had a break. It took awhile, and a lot of work, but we replaced it ourselves and haven't had a single issue in close to 18 years. It makes sense to me that blowing out the line completely is the way to go.

Even if the line at my daughter's house can go an extra year between service calls, it's worth it to me, just for the sake of convenience.
