so how does this snake work? How do you take off the top of the drain from the sink or tub to put the snake down? How often do you clean it out? I thougth about getting a drain snake or something like it and love the idea that I can attach it to a drill. Might check out Canadian tire this week to see if they sell them and for how much. When you clean it do you have to reatch in and scoop out the crap that is collected in their or just wash it down with hot water?

Many of today's chemicals are quite toxic and can actually damage your plumbing. It is best to attempt clearing a drain by using a plunger or plumbing snake. Often, removing and cleaning the trap can fix the problem. A plumbing snake will almost always clear the problem. I use a snake that allows for attaching a drill. It'll clean her out like new! ----- Original Message ----- From: Lee A.
