A drum machine or a closet auger is the right first tool for one stopped sink, tub, or toilet. It bores a hole through the clog and restores flow. On a hair clog or a single wad of wipes, that is the whole job. Expect about $150-$450 for one line.
It is the wrong last tool when the same line stops again in a month or two. The cable left the grease, the scale, or the root fuzz on the wall. A hydro jet uses water at high pressure to scour that wall. On a residential main that typically runs $400-$900, sometimes more if access is bad or the run is long.
Do not jet a pipe that is already broken or an orangeburg line that is soft, until a camera says the wall can take the pressure. The camera is $250-$550 and it is cheaper than jetting a pipe into the dirt.
Kitchen lines in houses that cook with oil are the classic jet candidate. Cast iron mains with repeat backups are the other. A single bathroom sink that clogged once is a cable, not a jet.
