Snaking Standards
At Beetle’s Plumbing Solutions, our goal is to unclog drains using the best tools available. We are committed to staying ahead of the curve by offering a variety of snakes, jetters, and camera services. Here’s what you need to know:
- Based on recent calls, here are some helpful tips regarding snaking and camera use:
- A drain cannot be inspected with a camera if it is clogged. If the pipe is filled with water or sewage the camera will not produce pictures/video.
- If the blockage is sludge or sludge like both the camera and the snake may bypass the obstruction.
- Jetting is the most effective method for cleaning most drains due to the high water pressure that effectively clears out the pipes. This water pressure hits the entire pipe and not just partial
Why can’t Beetle’s guarantee snaking?
- It’s important to understand that snaking often addresses surface issues, and there may be an underlying problem that remains unresolved. While a thorough cleaning can provide temporary relief, a maintenance program is one way of maintaining the problem until a permanent solution can be made.
- Beetle’s Team will offer you the most effective solutions for your systems following an in-person assessment. You can rest assured that no plumbing services will be quoted over the phone.

Snaking GoalsSnaking Goals
LB3 faced a challenging drain issue for Peggy, a homeowner in Strongsville. She had been dealing with a backed-up kitchen drain and a non-functional dishwasher for several days. LB3 spent over two hours snaking and jetting the drain, but unfortunately, they were unable to resolve the problem. At that point, they feared they might need to break up her floor, which posed a significant inconvenience and expense since her home is on a slab, cutting through both her kitchen and dining room. However, LB3 was determined not to give up and called in owner Larry Jr. for a second assessment. This second look proved crucial as the team once again tackled the stubborn drain, which had been clogged with grease for 20 years. Peggy was immensely relieved and expressed her gratitude to the team for their dedication and hard work. At Beetles Plumbing, we prioritize our culture and integrity above all. Continuous education played a key role in this success. While profitability is essential for our survival, it will never come at the expense of our craftsmanship and ethical standards.

Emergency Gas LeakEmergency Gas Leak
Beetles Plumbing was contacted by a homeowner in Lakewood regarding a gas leak. The gas company had already shut off their gas supply. Beetles arrived at the home within hours and discovered that, although the gas company had replaced the main supply line, that was not the source of the leak. Consequently, they turned off the gas once more. Larry Jr. and LB3 conducted an air test, which revealed two additional leaks in the piping system: one in a 3/4" 90-degree fitting and another in a 3/4" tee. The team carefully removed the necessary pipes and fittings, ensuring access with unions, and sealed the threads with an approved sealant. They then reinstalled the existing piping and offered a one-year warranty on the seal. The gas company subsequently inspected the work and approved the reactivation of the gas supply.
