Clear Clogs and Restore Proper Flow

Norton's Plumbing And Heating provides residential drain and sewer snaking services throughout Kenmore.

When water backs up in your Kenmore sink, shower, or toilet, the cause is usually a clog somewhere in the drain or sewer line. Norton's Plumbing And Heating uses snaking equipment to reach and clear blockages caused by buildup, debris, and aging pipes that have narrowed over time.

This service involves feeding a rotating cable through the affected drain or sewer line to break up and remove the obstruction. The goal is to fully clear the line, not just open a small channel that will clog again in a few weeks. Emergency drain and sewer service is available across Erie County when backups happen unexpectedly, and commercial drain snaking is available for retail and office properties using the same process.

If you are dealing with slow drains or recurring backups in Kenmore, Norton's Plumbing And Heating offers free estimates and clear explanations of what was found and what comes next.

What Happens During a Drain Snaking Service

The process begins by identifying the clog location and selecting the right size cable and cutting head for the pipe in your Kenmore home. The snake is then fed into the line and rotated to break up grease, hair, soap buildup, or tree roots.

After snaking, you will notice water draining quickly again and no more gurgling or slow movement in your fixtures. The blockage is removed and the line is restored to proper flow.

Norton's Plumbing And Heating pays attention to ensuring the line is fully cleared, not just temporarily opened. This service is ideal for slow drains, backups, and recurring sewer issues. It does not include camera inspections or pipe replacement, but it does address the immediate clog and allows you to use your plumbing normally again.

Questions You May Have About Snaking

Homeowners often ask how long the clearing will last, what caused the clog, and whether snaking will damage older pipes.

What causes drains and sewer lines to clog?
Clogs are caused by grease, hair, soap scum, food waste, toilet paper buildup, tree roots, and deteriorating pipe interiors. Older homes in Kenmore with cast iron or clay pipes are especially prone to buildup and root intrusion.
How long does it take to snake a drain or sewer line?
Most residential snaking jobs take thirty minutes to two hours depending on the location of the clog, the condition of the pipe, and the type of obstruction.
Will snaking damage my pipes?
No, when done correctly snaking clears the blockage without harming the pipe. Norton's Plumbing And Heating uses the appropriate cable size and technique for each line.
How often will I need to have my drains snaked?
That depends on what caused the clog. If tree roots are the issue, snaking may be needed annually. If the clog was due to buildup, proper maintenance can prevent future problems.
Can you snake a line if the backup is severe?
Yes, Norton's Plumbing And Heating handles severe backups and offers emergency service when sewer lines are completely blocked in Kenmore.
