Power snaking & drain cleaning
Power snaking for stubborn clogs
A heavy-duty motorized cable with a cutting head that breaks through grease, sludge, debris and small roots. For clogs a plunger or a bottle of drain cleaner can't touch.
Quick diagnosis
Do I need power snaking or something else?
Find your symptom. It's a starting point; we'll confirm once we see the line.
One toilet or sink is clogged
A single slow or stopped fixture usually means a local clog a snake can reach quickly.
The plunger isn't touching it
Wipes, paper or a foreign object stuck deeper in the line. A motorized cable can break it up.
Several drains are slow at once
The main line may be partly blocked. We'll check whether the tank is full before we clear the line.
It keeps coming back
Repeat clogs often mean grease or roots coating the pipe. Hydro jetting cleans the whole line.
Sewage is coming up
Stop using water and call the 24/7 line. It may be the line, the tank or both.
How does power snaking work?
We feed a spinning steel cable into the line until it reaches the clog, then cut through it.
Different heads handle different jobs: some bore through soft clogs, others cut roots or grab debris to pull it back out. Once the line flows again, we run water to make sure it's clear.
What if snaking doesn't fix it?
Then the problem is probably the whole pipe, or the tank, not one clog.
We can switch to hydro jetting to clean the line wall to wall, or pump the septic tank if it's full. Our trucks carry all three.

What customers say
“I had this company come pump a home septic tank and power snake a line for my elderly grandparents, they were very punctual, reasonable priced and great to work with! They were able to get my grandparents back up and running in no time, the driver was fantastic and explained the process and was incredibly helpful about making sure we were taken care of.”
“Great service they definitely go out of their way to provide excellent service”
“My septic got a clog late on a Friday night. Saturday morning I called and ranch country had their home septic driver on the way to me in less than an hour. They had a hydro jetter mounted on the truck and were able to get everything taken care of.”
FAQ
Power snaking FAQ
Don't see your question? Call (541) 648-7114 and ask a real person.
What is power snaking?
A power snake (or drain auger) is a heavy-duty motorized cable with a cutting head on the end. We feed it into the line and it spins through grease, sludge, debris and small roots to restore flow.
Is power snaking better than chemical drain cleaner?
For a real clog, yes. Chemical cleaners often don't reach the blockage, can damage pipes, and can hurt the bacteria in a septic tank. A snake physically removes the clog.
Do you snake drains inside the house?
Yes. We clear clogs in toilets, sinks, tubs and floor drains as well as the main line out to the septic tank.
