Drain Augering & Sewer Line Augering

Augering is the most common method of drain cleaning, if you have a clogged drain in your house or at your commercial property, we will most likely start with an auger.

How Drain Augering Works

An electric auger is a machine that spins a flexible metal cable with a cutter on the end to dislodge clogs in your plumbing system.

Here at Sewerheroes, we have many different sized augers for different size and different kinds of drains.

Having The Right Tools For The Job

Having different size drain augers for different jobs is only a part of the equation. Choosing the right cutting attachment to pair with the auger is the next step.

• Tree Roots: You might think the bigger the better when it comes to something like tree roots, but often we start with a smaller cutter to get the drain flowing again and then it takes a little bit of patience and a progression in the size of the cutters. If you go to big or too fast, you might damage the auger cable or worse, the drain pipe.
• Retrieval of Objects: Of course we enjoy being Hero’s and retrieving prized possessions and that requires a unique retrieval attachment and a different drain augering technique for success.
• Smaller Sink & Tub Drains: A smaller diameter drain line with traps requires a smaller and more flexible drain auger and cutting attachment.
