SEWER SNAKE
A sewer snake (also known as a rooter machine, drain auger, or drain/plumbing cable) is a long metal cable that clears drain clogs.
The snake/cable is a long and flexible metal with interchangeable attachments on top, which can be replaced per job’s specific needs. For example, a sewer clogged by root masses would require a blade attachment for cutting, while a clog caused by paper towels would need an auger attachment for grabbing and retrieving. Several types of plumbing snakes are available for home and commercial use. Our sewer snake is an extremely effective method for drain cleaning and sewer cleaning.

When Snaking Is the Right Tool
Snaking is fast, affordable, and gentle on older pipes, which makes it the right first move for many everyday clogs: a backed-up kitchen sink, a slow tub drain, or a main line blocked by flushed wipes or paper towels. With the right attachment our machines can also cut through tree roots in pipes and retrieve objects that should never have gone down the drain.
Snaking vs. Hydro Jetting
A snake breaks through the clog and restores flow. It does not wash away the grease and sludge stuck to the pipe walls, which is why some drains clog again within months. When buildup is the real problem, we recommend hydro jetting, which scrubs the entire pipe clean with high-pressure water. We will tell you honestly which service your line needs, and our estimates are free.
See the Result for Yourself
Every drain cleaning we perform comes with a free sewer video inspection afterward. You watch the camera footage with us, confirm the line is clear, and learn about any developing problems, such as root intrusion or a sagging pipe section, before they become emergencies. Ask about our maintenance program if your drains clog on a regular schedule.
