Slow-draining or clogged drains are easy to clear with a drain auger, otherwise known as a drain or plumbing snake. A plumbing snake , also called a drain snake, or drain auger, is a thin, flexible metal cable coiled into a protective drum and is designed to be put deep into a drain to pull out a clog. A professional snake or auger can push or "punch" a clog through to loosen it. While you may need to call in a plumber for stubborn clogs, most clogs due to soft debris can be snagged and removed by a drain snake. With this simple, low-cost device that you can store in a sink cabinet, you'll save time and money by not having a plumber clear your clogged drain. Use a drain snake when your sink , shower, or tub drain is draining slowly or is not draining at all due to soft clogs located up to 15 to 25 feet down the line. Snaking or augering a drain can often solve water drainage problems that cannot be cured by chemicals, plunging, or by using a plastic hair snake. Drain snakes cannot pick up heavy items such as rings, nor can they cut through obstructions in drainage pipes. A snake's cable can be up to 25 feet long. The end of the cable has a corkscrew-type spring that removes clogs in drains.

Sud and Astramax like this. Previously, all my household waste was going through one pipe and getting caught up in the neighbour's balcony connection point below. Along with the occasional 90c machine wash, boiling water flushes and occasional chemical flush of OneShot or Caustic Soda, I think this approach would work. It's a similar device though, no? Too short as well. Log in or Sign up. Share This Page Tweet. The plan is to insert the snake every 3 months and try to ensure the pipe is stays clear. I think with the snake it shouldn't really be a problem getting it as far down the pipe as possible its full length 10m unless there are blockages. Share This Page Tweet. Then flush through with plenty of water. Obviously, I want to service the pipe from the balcony. Sud and teabreak like this. With the screwfix type one you can lock the spring in place and spin like mad whilst pushing it in to help it get round bends or through blockages. I have tried drain unblocker liquid , hot water , dishwasher liquid in the bowl but just can't get it to budge or disintegrate.
