How do you use a plumber’s snake?

  1. To use a plumber’s snake effectively, follow these steps:
    1. Insert the Snake: Push the end of the snake into the drain opening. Turn the handle on the drum that contains the coiled-up snake.
    2. Advance the Snake: Continue pushing more of the snake into the drain until you feel resistance.
    3. Break Through the Blockage: Rotate the snake against the blockage until you feel it move freely into the pipe.
    4. Flush the Drain: Run water at full force for a few minutes to ensure the drain is completely unclogged.
