== == == == == == If you have an open septic tank or broken sewage pipe anything that crawls can get into your toilet or bath tub or sinks. You can buy a special trap device to keep all creepy crawlers out of your sewage pipes. The device lets the water out but it won't let the critters in. Keep a tub screen on the drain in your tub to reduce spiders from coming into your bath tub.

I have seen a snake come out of my own toilet. Spiders come up out of the bath tub drain all of the time. I live in the woods. You can expect the unexpected when you live in a forest.

Many sewers are combined systems storm /sanitary and many lax codes to not allow the use of a building house trap.

Thus a snake or rodent or pest can enter the drainage system and then enter the building thought a fixture or floor drain

Depends on the size of the drain holes and how big the snake is. They can squeeze into pretty tight holes, but most of them don't especially like wet ones like Plumbing pipes.

How do you remove hair from a tub drain?

Drain cleaner or a snake. If you use a snake, take the overflow plate off on the side of the tub above the drain and go down from there. That saves making the sharp bend if you go through the drain itself. It may be hair wrapped around the drain shut off which will come out when you remove it from the overflow tube.

How does a drain cleaning snake work?

A drain cleaning snake, also known as a drain auger or plumber's snake, works by inserting a long flexible cable into a clogged drain pipe. The cable has a corkscrew-like tip that helps grab onto and break up the clog as it is inserted and rotated. By turning the handle of the snake, it pushes the cable further into the pipe, allowing it to break apart and clear the clog.

Unclog Your Sink With A Plumbing Snake?

Clogged drains in the kitchen and bathroom can prove to be a problem. After you have tried liquid drain cleaners with no luck, try a plumbing snake. The snake is inserted into the drain and goes only a certain depth. If there is any kind of clog into the drain, it will either push it through the plumbing system or you can pull the clog out with the snake. Make sure that you are using the end of the plumbing snake that has the small hook on the end so you can easily pull anything out of the drain that may be stuck in it.
