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.
