When a lot of people think of drain cleaning, they think of snakes. But drain snakes have a different job. A drain snake is a metal, coiled rod that pokes a hole in the blockage. All that does is allow the water to go down. A drain cleared with a snake has a lot of stuff still in it that can cause more backups.

If you want to really clean your pipes, you need to look into hydrojetting. A hydrojetter is a water hose that guides a nozzle through the blockage. That nozzle has sprayers on it that scour the walls of that pipe clean. A cleaned drain is opened all the way back up which will last you a lot longer.
