Showerthought: a $4 drain snake from the hardware store saved me a callback on a Braintree job last month
Pulled a nest out of a flue that kept clogging my vacuum hose no matter what I did, so I finally ran a cheap snake up from the cleanout door and it grabbed everything in one pass. Took 10 minutes instead of the hour I usually spend fishing around with rods. Anybody else keep one of these on the truck, or am I late to this?
How far up the flue did the snake reach before it grabbed the nest? I've got a cleanout on mine but I always figured it was too shallow to hit the real junk.
