What Is A Sugar Snake?

What Is A Sugar Snake?

It sounds both sweet and terrifying. We often find these in restaurants and convenience stores that use soft drink machines or other sugary products. The sugar builds up inside drain lines and feeds bacteria living in the drain. The bacteria then colonizes and grows, forming into the shape of the drain line concealing it, which resembles a snake—hence the name. Eventually, it gets so thick that liquid cannot pass through it causing a major clog that must be removed. Typical drain products do not work on sugar snakes, so you need professional help to defeat these monsters.

We’ll Save You!
Sugar snakes don’t stand a chance against the valiant techs at EarthCare. They are armed with Pro Clean, a liquid enzyme that breaks down the sugar build up. To further simplify your life, we can attach a dispenser that automatically releases the enzyme as the soda machine is used. This keeps the drain line clean and free of pesky sugar snakes. To learn more, or to have one of our guys install a customized dispenser at your facility, Contact Us.
