## What to describe when you request help
The same line blocks repeatedly.

The provider needs to assess a cleared section.

You need documented findings before approving more work.

AI-generated service illustration, not a documented customer job.

## Clearing, cleaning or looking inside?
Compare what each tool does. Select a card to highlight the question to ask; the method descriptions stay visible.

### Snaking / cabling
Acts mechanically on an obstruction.

Compare Snaking / cabling ↗Ask which access point is suitable and whether flow was fully restored.

### Hydro jetting
Uses water to clean suitable pipework.

Compare Hydro jetting ↗Ask how pipe condition and the obstruction affect method selection.

### Camera inspection
Records the visible condition of a line.

Compare Camera inspection ↗Ask for the location and recording behind a recurring-blockage recommendation.

Ask for the location and recording behind a recurring-blockage recommendation.

Educational comparison. A professional chooses a method after assessing access, obstruction and pipe condition.

## What a camera can contribute
A provider may use the view to document roots, deposits, joint changes or visible damage. Ask where the camera traveled, what could be seen and what remained obscured. A recording should be interpreted with the symptoms and line access.

## Visibility has limits
Standing wastewater and a blockage may prevent a clear view. The provider may need to restore enough flow first. A camera does not make every section accessible or answer every question about the surrounding ground.

## Ask for useful documentation
Request the location, observed condition and a plain-language explanation. If available, keep video or images and any locator notes. This makes a later second opinion or repeat visit more productive.

## Inspection is separate from repair
Ask whether the quoted scope includes clearing, inspection, location work or only one of them. A visual finding should lead to an explained recommendation, not an automatic full-line replacement.

## Questions before booking
Will a camera clear the drain?

No. Inspection and clearing are different tasks, even when booked together.

Can the provider inspect a completely blocked line?

Visibility and access may be limited. Ask how the obstruction will be handled and what can be documented afterward.
