USING A ROTARY SEWER SNAKE ~ THE BEST CHOICE FOR HOMEOWNERS

Today we run a sewer snake into a toilet drain. The design of this particular sewer snake is one of the best. It's coiled-spool feeds and retrieves the snake-cable effortlessly. It's easy to use by one person to reliably unclog sewer lines at home, making an otherwise unpleasant job easy. Let's see how it works.

You and Ronnie did well 👍

[@EverydayProjects]

I couldn't have done it without him!

[@GardenTractorBoy]

I have not seen one of those before. I really like how the cable goes back in, the snake works well

[@EverydayProjects]

These rotary snakes are simply the best. Thanks for watching. I hope all your sewer drains run free and you don't have to get one of these!

Hi Craig 👋, good bit of maintenance work. I was expecting to see roots come up. A couple of drain guys channels I watch use them sort of thing, but the electric ones, job well done 👏 ✔️ 👍

[@EverydayProjects]

Thanks, Nev. No roots in this line but it could have had them because they grow right over the line. Roots are more common in old clay pipes and enter where the pipes are connected. ABS (black plastic sewer lines) are glued together so there is less chance of roots getting in. These are ABS. Take Care, Great to hear from you!

[@PinetreeLine]

Despite your and Ronald McDonald’s warnings I just had to see that damn toilet Craig. These snakes have a crappy job 🤣 Thanks Brother!

[@EverydayProjects]

@@PinetreeLine Yes, Doug, these snakes go where others fear to tread😵‍💫Ronnie was a big help and Im glad he was there for emotional support 😂😅😍on this one

[@OpenAirOutdoors]

That could have been a shitty job! I guess now the field bed may be an issue? Great demo Craig👍

[@EverydayProjects]

I hear that some of these old systems ended in a 45 gallon drum buried and nothing else. Just holes poked in the drum and no leach field. Who knows? It was installed in the 60s, off permit and homemade. There could be anything down there. It seems free now so I'll try it the way it is and hope it works. Remember, Marc, when using these snakes never to lick your fingers! LOL

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? Nice job clearing that line. So was that a snake in the grass there near the end? A snake is a vital home tool when you have a septic tank eh!! Not a nice job, but you got 'er done!! Take 'er easy!!

[@EverydayProjects]

I really like this style of sewer snake (If a guy can have a favorite sewer snake, that is). There were no blockages found but the old tank at the end could be collapsed. An inspection camera would see that for sure, but for now, I'll resume use of this system and see what happens. Probably good for many more years. I love getting dirty so this wasn't too bad...

[@EverydayProjects]

Yes, you have correctly identified the snake in the grass and will receive the weekly prize. Go stand by the mailbox and wait for it to arrive.

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

@@EverydayProjects Ha Ha Ha!!!

[@DIYVariety]

When your old and crusty you should drink more water so it dont block it😅 well it worked out anyway i thought maybe you would find a tree root.

[@EverydayProjects]

I'll have to double up on the Metamucil / laxatives haha. This toilet is in a tiny cabin that hasn't been used much in years. I'm doing a few repairs on it a check of the sewer system was part of the list. I'm so glad that Ronnie was available to help. These rotary cable snakes are the bomb! So easy to use and they never tangled.

[@OpenAirAdventure]

So the mystery of the slow toilet remains 🤔 maybe time for more fiber in your diet Craig.

[@EverydayProjects]

Yep, who knows what's going on down there. The line seems completely free. I hear that locally, back in the day (1960s) these homemade septic systems were no more than a steel can buried and holes poked in the can to let water out. (45 gallon drum??) Probably wouldn't pass an inspection HaHa But many little cabins had these types of things. I'm just glad that the pipe was clear. Maybe the can has collapsed?? I'm taking your advice, Kenny and will add more fiber (TomatOs) and Metamucil to my diet to get things moving.
