People get clogs in their drains and sewers frequently, and sometimes the drains and sewers can be unstopped with a plunger, sometimes with a snake, and other times, a plumber is needed. If a plunger doesn’t do the job, the next method to try to use before calling a plumber who may be expensive is to snake the area with a line snake. For do-it-yourself customers who want to try Line Snaking in Corona CA, here are some tips to keep in mind. If these tips don’t work, a professional plumber should be called.
Using a Snaking Auger
A snaking auger is a flexible cable that reaches long into a drain or sewer with an uncoiled spring or a small auger on one end and a handle on the other end. Although it looks simple enough to use, if a novice is not sure how to handle the tool, there could be damage to the pipes or leaks could be created. The handle is normally cranked out, pushing the auger end of the snake into the drain or sewer line, attempting to dig through the obstruction.

It could be helpful to the user to remove the P-trap, which is the piece of pipe that is curved (if you are snaking a sink), or the customer could remove the trap arm. Removing the P-trap or the trap arm can make the access easier for the user to get to the obstruction (unless the obstruction was in the trap arm or P-trap, all the better). Trying to remove the obstruction in the area should meet with minimal resistance, but the user should not try to force the auger, lest the drain or line is ruined.
Calling a Professional
