How to Snake a Drain

Hello, my friend, hello again; today we come together to talk about How to Snake a Drain and hope the blog can help you.

Struggling with a tough clog? Learning how to use a drain snake is simple—and can save you the cost of a plumber’s visit.

Though convenient, liquid drain cleaners aren’t always the right solution to clearing clogs in your sinks, tubs, and showers. These products can damage pipes and septic systems, and don’t always work on the toughest clogs.

Drain augers, also called plumber’s snakes or drain snakes, are more effective clog clearers. Drain snakes have ¼-inch plastic or metal coils that break up blockages in toilet, bathtub, and sink plumbing. The next time your plunger won’t clear a stubborn clog, save some money on a pro by learning how to snake a drain yourself using the following steps.
