## Situation
A home experienced repeat mainline backups every few weeks.
## Findings
- Camera inspection located dense roots at a joint several metres from the cleanout.
- Flow tests showed slow drainage throughout the home.
## Action
Hydro jetting cleared the intrusion and restored normal flow. The customer scheduled periodic maintenance and will evaluate trenchless repair if roots return.
## Takeaway
Camera inspection plus jetting is an effective, minimally disruptive first step for root intrusions.
