How Does Drain Snaking Work?
Most people have heard the term "drain snake," but not everyone knows what it is or how the snaking process works. Don't worry, it doesn't involve putting specially trained plumbing snakes in your drain! Instead, here's how drain snaking works:
- A drain snake is actually a 25+ foot cable with a corkscrew-shaped end.
- The end gets inserted into a clogged drain and pushed through the pipe.
- The snake continues through the pipe until it encounters an obstruction.
- The corkscrew end passes through the obstruction, then locks onto it when we pull on the end of the cable.
- Like catching a fish, we then reel the cable in and the obstruction along with it.
- We continue to do this until we've removed all the obstructions from your pipes.
Although it sounds fairly straightforward, using a drain snake properly is actually quite difficult. It takes experience and a special "feel" to know when you're meeting an obstruction, how to pass through it, and how to reel it in. If you aren't comfortable using a snake yourself, give us a call at Brooks Plumbing Co!
