Drain Snaking
What Is Drain Snaking?
Drain snaking is a tried-and-true method for clearing blockages deep within your pipes. A motorized snake is inserted into the drain to dislodge and remove clogs caused by debris, grease, or foreign objects.
How Drain Snaking Works
The snake is a flexible metal cable with a cutting head that rotates to break up blockages as it moves through the pipe. It’s an effective way to clear both minor and stubborn clogs.
Common Issues Resolved by Drain Snaking
Hair, soap scum, grease, and small objects often accumulate in pipes, causing slow drains or complete blockages. Drain snaking quickly addresses these issues without the need for chemical drain cleaners.
When to Use Drain Snaking
Drain snaking is ideal for minor to moderate blockages in sinks, tubs, showers, and toilets. It’s a safe and efficient way to restore water flow without damaging pipes.
Drain Snaking vs. Hydro Jetting
While hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to clean pipes, drain snaking is better suited for smaller clogs or situations where the pipes are too fragile for jetting.
DIY Snaking vs. Professional Snaking
Although some homeowners attempt to snake drains themselves, professional drain snaking ensures the clog is completely removed and reduces the risk of pipe damage.
