What it is
What we do for drain, sewer and power snaking
Power snaking is the workhorse of drain and sewer cleaning. A motorized cable with a cutting head goes in through a drain or a cleanout, spins through the blockage and breaks it up so it can wash away.
It is the right tool for a toilet line packed with paper, a main line choked by roots, or a floor drain that stopped taking water. When the pipe walls are coated in grease, hydro jetting may do a better job, and we will say so.
How we do it
How we handle drain, sewer and power snaking
Pick the access point
A cleanout if the house has one, or the nearest drain to the blockage. That keeps the cable short and the mess small.
Run the right head
Different cutting heads for paper, grease and roots. The cable goes until the water moves.
Check the flow
We run water after clearing to make sure the line takes it. A clog that comes back fast is a reason to look with a camera.
Around here
Where we use the power snake most
Main lines in older homes across Fairfield and New Haven Counties are often clay or cast iron. Roots get into the joints, and a power snake with a root cutter is how we open those lines back up.
Basement floor drains and laundry lines are the other common job. They sit lowest in the house, so they are the first to show a backup and the first to collect lint and dirt.

Questions
Drain, Sewer and Power Snaking questions
Is power snaking the same as rooter service?
They overlap. Rooter service usually means running a cutter through a sewer line to remove tree roots. Power snaking covers any clog the machine can reach, roots or not.
Will snaking damage my pipes?
A power snake run by someone who knows the line is a normal, safe way to clear it. If the pipe is already broken or collapsed, that is a repair, and we will tell you before going further.
Do I need a cleanout?
It helps, but it is not required. We can often get in through a toilet or a floor drain.
