Sewer Still Clogged After Snake: What to Do Next

sewer still clogged after snake

Encountering a stubborn sewer clog even after using a plumbing snake can be frustrating and perplexing. Solution Based Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning is here to help you understand the reasons why a sewer snake might not fully clear a clog, explore alternative solutions, and highlight why contacting a professional is crucial for resolving persistent sewer issues without causing damage. If you searched for “sewer still clogged after snake,” you landed on the right page!

Why a Sewer Snake Might Not Fully Clear a Clog

  • Limited Reach: Plumbing snakes have a limited reach and may not be able to reach deep-seated clogs or obstructions in the sewer line.
  • Hardened Blockages: Some clogs, such as hardened grease or mineral deposits, may be resistant to the twisting action of a plumbing snake.
  • Complex Blockages: Complex blockages, such as tree root intrusions or collapsed sewer pipes, may require specialized equipment and expertise.

Solutions to Explore After Using a Sewer Snake

  • Hydro-jetting: Hydro-jetting uses high-pressure water to blast away stubborn clogs, debris, and buildup from sewer pipes, restoring proper flow.
  • Video Inspection: A video inspection allows plumbers to visually inspect the inside of sewer pipes, pinpointing the exact location and nature of the clog or obstruction.
  • Rooter Services: Rooter services involve using motorized augers or cutting tools to break up and remove tree roots or other tough obstructions from sewer lines.
  • Pipe Repair or Replacement: In cases of damaged or collapsed sewer pipes, pipe repair or replacement may be necessary to restore proper drainage.
