    Sluggish basement drain in concrete
    Hello! We have a sluggish drain in the basement that's in the concrete? Can a snake be used for this?

    Yes you can snake that drain if it leads to the sewer, it is trapped like any other sewer drain. If it only goes to a sump pump let me know and we'll address that too.
