Electric Drain Cleaning

Choose The Right Tool To Deal With Nasty Blockages

When it comes to dealing with severe blockages in your drainage system, an electric drain cleaning machine is one of the most effective tools that you can count on to do the job thoroughly and with ease. Metropolitan Plumbing provides the expert service and advice you need. We come to you with reliable drain cleaning tools, nozzles and accessories that typically clear away all the muck, mess and debris stopping you from enjoying the performance of a fully functional plumbing system.

The Benefits of Electric Drain Cleaning

Also known as an electric eel, drain snake, plumber’s snake or a drain auger, the electric drain cleaner is an effective, easy and time-saving option for clearing stubborn blockages in your pipes.

They can clear long sections of your drain lines and break down any solid objects in small drains, such as:

• tree roots
• toilet paper or
• even the toy your kids flushed down the loo

To safely clear a clog in your sewer lines without risking damage or cracks to your existing pipes, you want to employ licensed, professional plumbers. Metropolitan Plumbing provides regular training for our plumbers on electric drain cleaning, and with 30 years of experience in the industry, our plumbers have seen it all.

If your blocked drains are giving you grief at home, give us a call and we’ll have a drain cleaning plumber at your door within one hour* of your call.

How Does an Electric Drain Machine Work?

Electric drain cleaners have a cutting head attached to a flexible cable that your plumber inserts into the blocked drain. Once the cable is inside the drain, the plumber carefully feeds the cutting head through the pipe, where it slices through and breaks up any blockages it encounters. The chopped-up pieces can then drain away safely.

Boasting a range of interchangeable cutting and retrieval heads, the electric drain cleaner tackles stubborn blockages such as root intrusions and compacted debris. It’s an easy and effective way to restore flow in most domestic drains.

We may use a more heavy-duty motorised version to handle more stubborn blockages, especially when caused by large tree roots.

Electric drain cleaners are designed to have a certain power range and reach length. If your blockage is too far in or extremely severe, we will use a high-powered pressure washer/water jet drain cleaner instead.

Regular Maintenance Tasks That Reduce The Need For Electric Drain Cleaning

Forming good routine habits and changing bad ones can go a long way towards preventing avoidable blockages and reducing the need for electric drain cleaning. Follow these simple tips to keep your drainage system as clean and clear as possible:

• Fit strainers to your sink, shower and bath. Empty them into the bin daily.
• Never pour fats, oils or grease down the sink. Wipe your pots and pans and bin the residue.
• Keep “flushable wipes” out of your plumbing: Bin them and only flush human waste and toilet paper down the loo.
• Once a week, run hot water with a little detergent through the kitchen sink to shift built-up grease.
• Use an enzyme-based drain maintainer monthly as directed; avoid harsh chemical cleaning products.
• Clear outdoor grates, gully traps and gutters of leaves and silt after storms.
• Trim roots near sewer laterals and keep garden beds off inspection points.

These small tasks maintain healthy flow, reduce odours and extend your pipework’s life.
