FAQs About Plumbing Snakes
United Rentals is the right choice for sewer snakes for sale. Plumbing snakes, also known as drain augers, are great for unclogging drains and are a safer alternative to plungers and liquid dissolvents for unclogging toilets. Plungers can apply too much pressure to the toilet’s wax ring, causing it to break, and dissolvents can corrode your pipes over time. Our used drain snakes for sale are also ideal for clearing curved pipes, such as those under a sink. We carry trusted brands like McElroy and Electric Eel, ensuring high-quality performance and durability for years to come.
