Electric Drain Cleaning

The Benefits of Electric Drain Cleaning

Electric drain cleaning machines are an effective, easy and time-saving option for clearing stubborn blockages in your pipes. The electric eel, also known as a drain snake, plumber’s snake or Roto-Rooter, is usually the first of the drain cleaning tools used to take care of nasty blockages.

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, you want to employ licensed, professional plumbers. Drain cleaning machines should only be used by a professional, as incorrect usage could damage or crack existing pipes. Metropolitan Plumbing provides regular training and with over 25 years’ experience in the industry, our plumbers have seen it all.

If you fear blocked drains, give us a call and we’ll have a drain cleaning plumber at your door within an hour* of your call.

How Does an Electric Drain Machine Work?

Electric eel drain machines have a cutting head attached to a flexible cable that is inserted into the blocked drain. Once the cable is inside the drain, the cutting head is patiently fed through the pipe, where it slices through and shifts any blockages it comes up against. The chopped-up pieces can then drain away safely.

With a variety of versatile cutting and removing heads, all exchangeable with each other, the electric drain cleaner can slice through pretty much any tree root or solid material. For extremely stubborn blockages, a more heavy-duty motorised version may be used, especially when concrete or large tree roots are the cause of the blocked drain.

The electric eels do have a certain power range and reach length. If your blockage is too far in, or extremely severe, high-powered water jet drain cleaner will be used instead.
