What is drain snaking?
A plumber’s snake, or an auger, is a long cable that is topped with a coil-like tip to help remove blockages and clogs. Snakes come in different thicknesses and lengths to facilitate your plumbing system.
Hydro Jetting Versus Snaking
Hydro Jetting
Hydro jetting uses pressurized water to clean out your pipes and remove blockages.
Snaking
While snaking is a more traditional plumbing method, it works great to clear minor blockages and on older plumbing systems. Sometimes hydro jetting is too abrasive for old pipes, so snaking is the best course of action.
Which Method Will Work Best?
We’ll determine which method to use when we are on-site. We’ll identify the problem with our plumbing cameras and decide on the best method to cleanse your system. For example, if your pipes are filled with debris and a clog could happen at any time, cleaning the entire system with hydro jetting is the best option. On the other hand, if your plumbing system is on the older end, snaking might be the best method. We’ll let you know the plan and pricing upfront. Then, we’ll dive in and fix your system.

Frequently Asked Questions
+ Can I snake my drain myself?
Small snakes are easy to use, but more difficult to use than plungers. For smaller clogs, a plunger might work best. If you have to plunge deeply into your plumbing system, call Cure All Plumbing. We have camera technology that allows us to look deep into your plumbing system to see what the problem is. Plus, without sufficient experience using a plumber’s snake, you can run the risk of damaging your pipes.
+ Can snaking your drain make the clog worse?
The outcome of your snaking efforts depend on what the clog is made of. If it’s mainly hair, you’ll have better luck clearing the blockage. However, if your pipes are older, rummaging around the pipe with a snake can make your clog worse as the released debris restricts the water’s flow further.
