Tips On How To Snake A Drain

A plumbing snake is a device that is used to unclog a drain. There are plumbing snakes specifically for drains and plumbing snakes specifically for the sewer line. The snake is composed of a long flexible cable that has an auger attached to one end and a handle on the other end. The head of the auger is fed through the drain line until it reaches the clog. The head of the auger is then rotated so that the corkscrew shape grasps and pulls at the clog. The idea is to pull the clog out of drain line in order to allow the system to start draining properly. A homeowner can unclog a drain line when they have the knowledge on how to properly snake a drain.
