Yes, snaking the drain is a common method used to unclog toilets. A plumbing tool called a plumbing snake, toilet snake or auger is employed for this task. The snake is inserted into the toilet drain, and its flexible, coiled wire is used to break up or remove obstructions that may be causing the clogged toilet. It’s best to consult a trained plumber for this job as untrained individuals can damage the toilet fixture or drain pipe by using a toilet snake improperly.

For minor clogs, an untrained individual can attempt snaking a drain using a small handheld auger or plumbing snake. This tool can be effective in breaking up simple blockages and restoring the flow of water. However, it’s crucial to exercise caution and follow all safety guidelines to avoid damaging the pipes. For more complex or persistent clogs, especially those deep within the plumbing system, it is recommended to call a professional plumber. Plumbers have the expertise and specialized equipment to handle more challenging drain issues, ensuring a thorough and effective resolution without risking damage to the plumbing system. Hiring a professional plumber also ensures that your problem does not recur.

To unclog a blocked kitchen sink, start by removing any visible debris from the drain. Then, try pouring boiling water down the drain to break up grease and soap scum. If the clog does not clear, you can try using a plunger to create suction to dislodge the blockage. For more stubborn clogged kitchen sinks, it’s advisable to seek professional help to avoid potential damage to the pipes, sink or taps.
Pro Tip: Never pour grease down your drain. Always keep your sink strainer in place and empty it regularly to ensure no solids like food particles find their way into your plumbing.

To unclog shower drains effectively, start by removing visible hair and debris from both sides of the drain cover. Typically, these pieces can be removed by hand to expose the underside allowing you to remove any hair or other items that could slow or entirely block the drain. For more stubborn clogged shower drains or bath drains it’s advisable to consult a professional plumber to avoid potential damage to the plumbing system.
Pro Tip: Avoid using liquid drain cleaner products! Their corrosive chemicals can damage pipes and push blockages further down where they are harder to reach and could result in a much more expensive repair.

EXCELLENT Based on 1170 reviews Mark P2025-02-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a water emergency with my hot water tank Sunday afternoon where one of the connections blew off, causing a minor flood and unfortunately leaving the tank not usable. Matt from Francis called me within 15 minutes of my call and arrived at my house 45 minutes later. He determined quite quickly after some effort that the 12 year old tank could not be repaired and had to be replaced. Approximately 15 minutes later, Adam called me to arrange a time to come over to give me an estimate which he did about 90 minutes later (on a Sunday night) and took the time to give me the options and answer all of my questions. He was able to schedule the replacement of my tank for 8 am on Monday morning. On Monday morning, Erynn and Ian arrived at my home and by 10 am, my new tank was installed and fully operational, with the old tank having been removed and taken away. All in all they turned what could have been a bad experience into a very positive one. Everyone involved was extremely friendly, courteous and professional. I have nothing but positive feedback for the team at Francis. Thank everyone !!! Eric R2025-02-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
