There are lots of names for drain cleaning. What exactly is it?
It is called pipe plumbing, drain snake, sewer plumbing, plumbing snake, rooting out, reeming out, roto-rooter and more. Basically, a tightly wound cable kept on a reel is equipped with blades and pushed through the line. The blades rotate along the inside of the pipes, cutting away any debris in the line and pushing it to its exit. When an overgrowth of debris is in a line, it restricts water’s passage, causing slow drains or sewer water back-ups. Drain cleaning clears the clogged drain.
