Once, a snake is a fix. Twice in a season, it is a symptom with a bill attached. Repeat clogs mean something structural: roots at a joint, scale narrowing the line, a belly holding water, or grease that a cable only pokes a hole through. The honest next step is a camera inspection at $125 to $500 in published guides, which converts guesses into footage. Chemical drain cleaners, meanwhile, mostly damage pipes and the person who later cables them; the trade's advice is to skip them.
