Is Snaking Still Effective?

Drain snaking is one of the most common methods of drain cleaning. It is the process of clearing clogs in your drain by placing a metal cable, usually with a round head, in the drain’s outlet. Swinging the cable back and forth will pull the clog through the pipe and clear your drain. While it is something that you can do for yourself, it is recommended that you contact professionals for superior results.

A-1 Total Service Plumbing, offers the best drain cleaning in East Los Angeles, CA. Snaking your drain still has many benefits and they include the following.

Eliminates Clogs

Snaking your drain is one of the easiest ways to clear a simple clogged drain. It will not eradicate large clogs, but it is ideal for the smaller ones. Professional snaking is recommended to avoid damaging the interior of your pipe lines and to achieve a more thorough cleaning.

Safe and Versatile

Other methods, like pouring chemicals to clear your drain, may harm your health. These chemicals are also very difficult to use and contain toxic ingredients that may corrode pipes. Drain snaking is a safe and versatile method that will eliminate the clog quickly. This is because snaking your drain can work with any pipe used in your home.

Less Costly

Snaking your drain is far less costly than other plumbing drain cleaning methods. It is also one of the few methods you can use on your own time. Most of the other methods need the involvement of a drain cleaning company.

Long-Lasting Results

When you snake your drain, you can expect long-lasting results. Snaking your drain will keep stubborn clogs from recurring, sparing you the cost of constantly looking for a plumber to provide emergency drain cleaning.

Snaking your drain is still among the drain cleaning services offered by many professional plumbers, but with the introduction of new technologies in drain cleaning, snaking is being used less; this is not to say that it is obsolete or non-beneficial.
