Drainage restored in clay line using drain machine
Problem: Santa Fe Plumbing was scheduled to replace a commercial sewer line in Tulsa, Oklahoma, later in the week, but the customer asked if the company could clear the old clay tile line just enough to restore drainage until the new drainline was complete. The customer mentioned that other drain cleaning companies had failed to clear the line, and he didn’t expect that plumber Tyler Lindsey would have much luck either.
Solution: Lindsey admits that the job wasn’t easy, and with a less powerful drain machine he probably would have given up. However, his Duracable DM55 gave him confidence that it was worth the effort. The customer was very surprised and happy. The DM55 with the 11/16-inch cable and full blade did what others could not do.
Result: The Duracable DM55 sled-style drain machine’s 3/4 HP motor was powerful enough to restore drainage in a malfunctioning clay line and allowed the commercial customer to continue to do business until a new drainline could be installed. 800-247-4081; www.duracable.com
