A sewer snake, also known as a drain snake or plumbing snake, is a flexible tool used to clear clogs in pipes and drains. It consists of a long, coiled metal wire that can be inserted into pipes to break up or remove blockages caused by debris, grease, or tree roots. These tools come in various sizes and types, including manual and powered versions. Using a sewer snake can help homeowners maintain their plumbing systems and prevent costly repairs. Regular maintenance with a sewer snake can extend the life of plumbing systems and improve drainage efficiency.
