I get where you’re coming from, but I’ve actually seen enzyme cleaners work wonders—just not for every situation. Sometimes it’s about what’s causing the clog in the first place. If you’ve got tree roots or a busted pipe, no powder’s gonna fix that. As for camera inspections, yeah, they’re not cheap, but I’ve seen folks spend way more tearing up floors just guessing. Sometimes paying up front saves a headache later. Just depends on how much mystery you’re willing to deal with, I guess.

I hear you on the camera inspections, but I’ve managed a few basement drain issues without going that route. Sometimes just pulling the cleanout cap and running a snake does the trick, especially if it’s just gunk or hair. Not saying cameras aren’t useful, but in my experience, they’re more of a last resort unless you’re really stumped. As for enzyme cleaners, I’ve had mixed luck—sometimes they help, sometimes not much changes. Guess it depends on how deep the problem runs.
