Dealing with a clogged drain is a common issue for homeowners, and having the right tool can make a big difference. While some blockages require professional drain cleaning services, others can be handled with a basic drain snake. For more stubborn problems or full system backups, Garon T Plumbing, Heating, AC & Electric provides expert professional drain cleaning in Lakewood, NJ, from routine drain snaking to advanced cleaning methods.
Types of Drain Snakes
- Manual Drain Snakes
These are hand-cranked tools best suited for minor clogs in sinks or tubs. They work well when dealing with clogged drains caused by hair or soap buildup near the surface but may not reach deeper obstructions.
- Motorized Drain Augers
Powered versions offer more strength and reach. They are ideal for moderate clogs in kitchen or bathroom lines. Homeowners should use caution, as incorrect use can damage pipes or fixtures. In some cases, it’s best to call a professional drain cleaning company for assistance.
- Toilet Augers
Specifically designed for toilets, these snakes feature a curved, protective rubber sleeve to prevent scratching porcelain. They’re effective for clearing toilet blockages without causing damage.
When to Try Drain Snaking
Drain snaking is effective for many household clogs, especially in individual fixtures. If a single sink or bathtub drains slowly, a manual or powered snake might be all you need. If multiple drains are affected, the issue may be deeper in the system and require rooter service or hydro jetting.
Knowing When to Call a Pro
If a clogged drain doesn’t respond to snaking, the blockage might be caused by grease buildup, tree roots, or collapsed pipes. In those cases, advanced methods like hydro jetting or camera inspections are required. A licensed drain cleaning company can handle the job without risking pipe damage or incomplete removal.
Choosing the right drain snake depends on the type and location of the clog. For minor issues, a DIY approach might work. For persistent or complex blockages, professional drain cleaning services offer safe, effective solutions.

Ken gave me a very detailed report on how my furnace operates and functions. Was extremely informative about if and when I would need a new furnace vs parts. Was on time and called 30 mins prior to arriving. Ken is polite and considerate. Showed me the different returns, how and when I should maintain them. Thank you Ken for the education and experience with your expertise. Definitely would call on your assistance again! All this for $90.00! Can't be beat!

Devin did a great job, he was super nice, very helpful, and got me in touch with a restoration company to address the other issues caused by my kitchen sink! He was happy to lay out all of the options for me and quote me on other work I was looking to get done. Definitely recommend!
