When a plunger isn't cutting it, LiningWorks sewer line snaking puts a motorized cable through your pipe and physically breaks apart whatever's blocking it — grease, debris, or a root intrusion — without tearing up your yard or your floor.
Free phone consultation. Flat-rate pricing. No upsells, ever.
Sewer line snaking — also called drain snaking or cable cleaning — uses a flexible, motorized steel cable fed through your cleanout or drain opening. As the cable advances, a rotating cutting head chews through blockages and either pulls them out or breaks them into pieces the water can flush away.
Unlike a hand auger you rent from a hardware store, professional sewer line snaking equipment reaches the full length of your sewer lateral — all the way to the city connection. We carry multiple head sizes to match the pipe diameter and the type of blockage we're dealing with.
For most single-line backups and slow drains, sewer line snaking restores full flow in a single visit. We always run a follow-up flush to confirm the line is clear before we pack up.
If sewer line snaking clears the clog but you've had recurring backups, we'll recommend a camera inspection to find out why — at no extra pressure to commit to anything on the spot.
