Drain Snaking Services

Snake a drain, also known as drain snaking or drain auguring, is a plumbing technique used to clear clogs and blockages in pipes. It involves using a specialized tool, called a drain snake or auger, to navigate through your pipes, dislodging and removing debris that causes obstructions. At Armor Air, we excel in this service, offering you a fast and efficient solution to your drain problems.

You should call a snake-a-drain service when you are experiencing any of the following problems:

• Slow-flowing or backed-up water: This is the most common sign of a clogged drain. If your water is draining slowly or not at all, it’s time to call a professional.
• Foul odors coming from the drain: This is a sign that there is decaying matter trapped in the drain. If you smell a foul odor coming from your drain, it’s important to have it cleaned as soon as possible to prevent the spread of bacteria and other harmful organisms.
• Gurgling or bubbling sounds coming from the drain: This is a sign that there is a blockage in the drain that is preventing the water from flowing smoothly. Gurgling or bubbling sounds can also be a sign of a sewer line backup, which is a more serious problem.
• Water pooling around the drain: This is a sign that the water is unable to drain properly and is backing up. If you see water pooling around the drain, it’s important to call a professional immediately to prevent further damage.

Other times you may want to call a snake-a-drain service include:

• If you have tried to clear the clog yourself with a plunger or drain snake and have been unsuccessful.
• If you have a recurring clog in the same drain.
• If you have a clog in your main sewer line.
• If you have a clog in a commercial or industrial drain.

If you are unsure whether or not you need a snake-a-drain service, it is always best to err on the side of caution and call a professional. They will be able to assess the situation and recommend the best course of action.

Here are some additional tips for preventing clogged drains:

• Use a strainer in your kitchen sink to catch food particles before they go down the drain.
• Avoid putting grease, oil, and fat down the drain.
• Flush the toilet only when necessary.
• Have your drains professionally cleaned on a regular basis.

By following these tips, you can help to keep your drains flowing smoothly and avoid the need for costly repairs.
