Abstract: A plumbing snake diverting apparatus for deflecting a plumbing snake out of a main stack pipe and into a secondary pipe extending from the main stack pipe. The plumbing snake diverting apparatus includes an tubular extension member which is selectively couplable to any number of curved, tubular diverting members depending on the size of the pipe. The apparatus is then positioned with a leading edge of the diverting member at the intersection of the main stack pipe and the pipe to be cleared. The plumber's snake is then deflected into the secondary pipe upon insertion.
