Drain Snaking Services

The first and most popular tool used by a plumber to clear a drain blockage is the snake. There are many different snakes specially designed for each unique application but they all ultimately perform the same task. A snake is essentially a tool which feeds a flexible yet strong metal coil through a drainage system with the purpose of breaking up and removing the blockage causing a backup. Drain snaking is extremely effective in breaking up blockages caused by waste, hair and soap accumulation, toilet paper or wipes and roots which have penetrated the walls of the pipe.
