What to Look For
Posted by Super from New York, NY, USA on May 15, 2007

What should I look for in selecting drain cleaning equipment?

Remember your “three R’s”:

· Reliability
· Range
· Risk

RELIABILITY. Downtime costs money. Choose a manufacturer with a solid reputation for tough, dependable products. And make sure they’re easy-to-maintain. But remember: cables do most of the work. The best are left hand coiled over a wire rope center for maximum strength and flexibility – and maximum kink resistance.

RANGE. Different problems demand different solutions. Consider a selection of cable drain cleaners for common clogs – and water jets for grease, sediment, ice and other soft blockages. And don’t forget sectional machines for large, long-run lines. Aim for an equipment mix that lets customers solve all sorts of problems – inside and out!

RISK. Safeguard your customers – and your business! Always demand equipment with a complete safety package. Do they sport ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCI’s)? How about safety slip clutches? Do they feature air-actuated foot pedals – with no direct electrical motor contact? Protect your livelihood!


Boost My Business?

How can drain cleaning equipment boost my rental business?

One word: DEMAND.

Blocked and slow drains remain among the most common maintenance problems. And many times, your customers are perfectly capable of clearing blockages themselves.

That’s where you can profit. Renting a range of safe, tough, reliable and easy-to-use drain cleaning equipment lets homeowners quickly and economically solve common problems – without excessive expense.

And don’t forget business owners – even plumbing and drain cleaning professionals! Renting makes sense for companies with limited resources: they pay as needed, preserving scarce capital. And renting lets them see if equipment actually warrants purchase.

Savvy rental facilities consider everyone a potential customer!
