Drain augers are versatile drain unblockers. There are multiple varieties and many have different applications. For instance, a closet auger is a tool used to unblock toilets. | |||
 |
There are also several different names used to refer to them, the most common being a snake. As a result, the process of unblocking a drain or toilet with an auger is often called ‘snaking’. | |||
 |
A common feature of all models is the long coil with an open spring head. It is the handle, casing and/or dispense mechanism that can alter between augers. | |||
 |
There are drain augers available for unblocking toilets, basins, showers, baths, sinks, urinals, internal waste pipes and external drains.
Anyone can use a drain auger, but the accessibility to some drainage systems may require a plumber or specialist. |
