Drain snaking

Drain snaking in Omaha

When the plunger won’t move the clog, a drain snake will. A cable machine runs down the line to break up the blockage and pull it free.

The right tool for a stubborn clog

Clogs happen in every home: material catches in the drain or builds up over time until water slows or overflows. If your plunger won’t move it, you need something more powerful. A drain snake, or auger, is the tool for a clog that just won’t budge.

How it works

How we snake a drain

  1. Inspect

    We start by inspecting the drain, with a camera where it helps, to find exactly what the blockage is and where it sits.

  2. Clear

    A drain snake or a hydro-jetter, whichever suits the clog, removes the obstruction.

  3. Check

    A final inspection makes sure the drain is completely clear and working properly before we leave.

Snake or jet?

Each tool is designed for different clogs. A snake opens a blockage; hydro jetting scours the whole pipe wall, which suits grease and build-up. If a line keeps clogging, a camera inspection shows why.

How often should I have my drains professionally cleaned?

It’s recommended to have your drains professionally cleaned every 1-2 years to prevent clogs and maintain optimal flow. However, if you notice slow drainage or frequent clogs, it’s best to schedule a cleaning sooner.
