Mainline sewer blockages often pose the most daunting job for plumbers and their drain cleaning machines and cables. Tree roots, hardened sludge and foreign objects are stubborn obstacles that have a tendency to overstress sewer machines’ engines, damage blades and break cables. To clear a hard clog, you need sturdy cables that can stand up to the high levels of stress experienced when cleaning a sewer line. We carry a wide selection of sewer machine cables in varying, length, gauge and rigidity to ensure you have the proper equipment for the job.
Hollow and Inner Core Drain Cable Can Handle Most Residential Jobs
The majority of residential clogs will not go all the way down to the mainline sewer. If they do, they are usually fairly easy to remove with standard drain machine cable. The hollow design of standard cables allows it to be extremely flexible, which means you will have no problem navigating around pipe bends and traps. This flexibility is handy, but it comes at a cost. Hollow drain machine cables are not strong enough to clear a lot of tougher jams and can break when overexerted.
A solution to this is to use our inner core sewer cable. A strong nylon cord is threaded through the inside the metal coil for added support. The nylon strand increases the cable’s rigidity and allows to both push harder and withstand greater torque. The downside is that the cable loses some of its pliability and becomes harder to use in bent drains.
Oil Tempered Cable Is Purpose-Built for Sewers
For commercial jobs or stalwart residential sewer blocks, only the toughest machine cable will work. For these difficult clogs, we manufacture oil tempered sewer cable. It is designed to clear roots and other hard obstructions from long, straight drains.
The rigid coil used in this cable was originally developed by the automotive industry to be used as engine valve springs. The oil casing prevents the cable from rusting and increases its resilience. These features make it amazing at boring and pushing through obstacles, but they also limit its mobility which is why this cable is primarily meant to be used on relatively straight pipes. The oil tempered sewer cable is undoubtedly the strongest cable we carry and the best choice for tough jobs.
