Electric Eel Drain Snake Stuck

We rented a 100 ft electric powered sewer snake to cut away the tree roots of a nearby tree leading into our clay tile main sewer drain.

Electric eel drain snake stuck.

Unscrew the lugs holding the bend in place with a medium sized plumbing wrench to expose the trapped drain snake. Fish the snake out of its blockage and pull it up and out of the drain. Dunbar ky hook a come a long to the cable outside the drain to something very secure. This can be a costly.

Electric eel manufacturing is a major supplier of quality sewer and drain cleaning tools since 1939. At 100 feet long this sewer snake needs to be incredibly sturdy to avoid becoming the next stuck object in the drain. Similar to the electric eel a hand held plumbing snake uses a system of long cables or coils that slither their way into your bunged up drain to hopefully have it back in full working order before you know it. Hook it to a swivel joint so you can spin the cable in reverse while applying tension on the cable.

Do not put a lot of tension on the cable. Electric eel snake stuck at 90 feet. Just enough so it keeps the ability to unwind out of what you re caught in. Place a basin underneath the u bend extending from the bottom of the offending drain.
