What is Drain Snaking?
Drain snaking, also known as using a drain auger, is a method of physically clearing a blockage from a pipe. The tool consists of a long, flexible steel cable with a corkscrew-like tip (or auger head). This cable is fed into the drain until it reaches the obstruction. By rotating the cable, our technician can use the auger head to either break apart the clog, allowing it to be flushed away, or hook onto the mass of debris so it can be pulled out of the pipe completely..
When is Drain Snaking the Right Choice?
Drain snaking is the ideal first line of defense for common, isolated blockages in your home. It’s the perfect solution for:
- A single slow-draining kitchen sink, bathroom sink, shower, or tub
- A clogged toilet that a plunger has failed to clear
- Blockages caused by hair, soap scum, and food particles
- Any situation where one specific fixture is backing up
- Retrieving small, accidentally dropped objects from a drain
The Major Benefits of Professional Drain SnakingOpting for a professional drain snaking service offers numerous advantages:
No Harsh Chemicals: We solve your problem using a mechanical tool, avoiding the use of corrosive chemicals that can damage your pipes and the environment.
Fast and Efficient: For most common clogs, drain snaking is the quickest and most direct way to solve the problem and restore drainage.
Safe for All Pipes: When handled by a trained technician, our professional-grade snakes are safe for all types of plumbing, including PVC, copper, and older cast iron pipes.
Removes the Entire Clog: Unlike chemicals that may only create a small channel, snaking can physically break up or retrieve the entire obstruction.
Affordable and Effective: As a primary method for clog removal, it is one of the most cost-effective professional plumbing services available.
Our Drain Snaking Process: A Clean and Simple Method
Step 1: Prepare the Area: Our technician arrives and places protective coverings around the drain and work area to ensure your home stays clean.
Step 2: Insert the Snake: We carefully feed the flexible cable of our drain auger into the pipe until we make contact with the blockage.
Step 3: Clear the Blockage: The technician operates the machine to rotate the cable, effectively breaking apart, dislodging, or hooking onto the clog to remove it.
Step 4: Test the Drain: After removing the snake, we run a generous amount of water to thoroughly test the drain, ensuring it is completely clear and flowing fast.
Step 5: Clean Up: We meticulously clean the work area, removing our equipment and protective coverings and leaving your space exactly as we found it.

Frequently Asked Questions About Drain Snaking in Texas
Is a professional’s snake different from one I can buy at the store?
Yes, significantly. Professional drain augers are much longer, more powerful, and feature interchangeable heads designed for different types of clogs. Using a store-bought snake improperly can easily scratch, crack, or become stuck in your pipes.
Will drain snaking damage my pipes?
Absolutely not when performed by a Drain Connection professional. We are trained to use the correct equipment and techniques for your specific type of plumbing, ensuring a safe and effective service every time.
How do I know if I need snaking or a more advanced service like hydro jetting?
Snaking is perfect for clogs in a single drain line. If you are experiencing issues with multiple drains at once, foul odors, or clogs that keep coming back, it usually indicates a more serious issue in your main sewer line that would require a camera inspection and potentially hydro jetting.
Can you get a tough hair clog out of a shower drain?
Yes. Drain snaking is exceptionally effective at hooking onto and removing the stubborn hair and soap scum blockages that are common in shower and tub drains.
