Electric Snaking

Clogs and blockages in your pipes are more than just an inconvenience—they can lead to slow drains, foul odors, and potential water damage. When a traditional plunger or chemical drain cleaner doesn’t do the trick, electric snaking is often the best solution. At Tidal Plumbing, our top-of-the-line snaking equipment can tackle blockages in a variety of drain types and sizes, ensuring your pipes are cleared quickly and efficiently.

Electric snaking is a powerful drain cleaning technique that uses a motorized auger (snake) to clear clogs and debris from your pipes. Unlike manual snaking, which requires physical effort to rotate the cable, electric snaking uses an electric motor to automatically feed a long, flexible cable into the pipe. This method is particularly effective for more severe or deep blockages, and it can clear clogs in larger pipes and sewer lines with ease.

Electric snaking involves a specialized auger or “snake” that is inserted into your drain pipe. The electric motor powers the snake, which rotates and pushes through the pipe to break up the clog. As the snake moves through the pipe, it dislodges blockages such as grease, tree roots, soap scum, hair, and debris. Once the clog is cleared, water can flow freely again.

The key benefits of electric snaking over traditional methods, like plunging, are its ability to reach deeper clogs and clear more stubborn blockages with minimal effort. This method is ideal for kitchen drains, bathroom drains, and main sewer lines, especially when clogs are located far from the drain opening.
