So, what do plumbers use to clean drains?
Let’s examine the drain cleaning procedures employed by expert plumbing businesses like us while you wait for us to come.
Electric Drain Snake
A motorized drain snake is delivered to the job site when it is determined that the obstruction is too hard to remove or is located further down the drain line than the manual snake can access.
With an electric motor’s additional torque and constant rotation, powered snakes can travel up to 75 feet down a kitchen sink drain. We also make use of the same machine for clearing a laundry drain.
And the motorized 3/4″ inch cable is used for unclogging The Main drain line. It is a machine with a 100-foot cable.
Manual Snakes for Drains
A manual drain snake, or canister snake, is a small instrument that physically pushes through obstructions—mostly used for bathtubs.
High-Definition Cameras for Drain and Sewer Lines
If your plumber has tried to unclog a drain or sewage line with a motorized snake without success, there may be a total obstruction deeper in your sewer line.
The high-definition snake camera is one of the most recent technological innovations that has benefited the plumbing sector. We outsource this to another service.
