Wouldn't that depend on what is causing the blockage? If it is a stoppage caused by roots or rags or other hard materials then snaking (rodding) would be the way to clear the cause of the problem If the problem is caused by a SOFT blockage such as sand, silt. mud, grease, leaves then water jetting is the way to go as water jetting will scour the lines to return the full flow as originally designed.

Common signs of a backed-up sewer line include slow draining sinks, gurgling noises from drains, foul odors coming from drains, and sewage backups in toilets or tubs. To resolve this issue effectively, a professional plumber should be contacted to inspect the sewer line using specialized equipment such as a camera to identify the blockage location. The plumber can then use methods like hydro-jetting or snaking to clear the blockage and restore proper flow in the sewer line.


What is the pipe sticking up in the backyard?

If it sticks straight up and has a 'screw on' cap (usually with a square on top of that), then that most likely is your sewer access point. If there is a problem with your sewer lines backed up, and the plumber cannot get it unclogged from the house side, then they will go to the access point to get to the clog. Plus, they can determine if the clog is between that point and the house, or between that point and your neighborhood sewer system (or your septic system, if you are on that).
