Electric Drain Cleaning
When faced with a particularly persistent blocked drain, one of the most effective ways to clear the obstruction is with an electric drain cleaning machine. Upside Down Plumbing uses electric drain cleaners to conquer the most stubborn clogs and blocked pipes.
For a drain cleaning solution that is renowned for delivering reliable performance, you can count on a professional plumber with a drain cleaning machine to get the job done.
What Does an Electric Drain Cleaner Do?
When you’ve tried a plunger, a manual drain snake or a dozen different home remedies and drain-clearing products that all seem incapable of clearing out your drain lines, it’s time to bring in the heavy artillery – the electric drain cleaner.
The electric drain cleaning machine is arguably one of the most practical, straightforward and efficient methods of resolving a stubborn drain cleaning job.
Boasting an ability to navigate through extensive lengths of your drainage system, it effectively disassembles any solid materials within narrower drains, including tree roots, toilet tissue, or even children’s toys that may have been inadvertently flushed.
The Importance of Using a Licensed Plumber
Of course, to clear blockages using this technology, you must use a skilled and licensed plumber. The improper and untrained use of drain cleaning machines can lead to damage or cracks in the existing pipes. Upside Down Plumbing ensures its plumbers are continuously trained and ready to tackle any challenge.

Different Types of Electric Drain Cleaners
Electric drain cleaning machines come in many different types, each with unique functions and benefits.
Drum Drain Cleaner
One of the more powerful models of electric drain cleaner, drum drain cleaners use a long and flexible cable that is wound up inside a drum. When the plumber turns on the machine, the cable unwinds and moves down the drain, breaking its way through the blockage.
Sectional Drain Cleaner
Sectional drain cleaners employ individual sections of cable that join together to any specified length to reach the blockage. They boast more flexibility and portability than other electric drain cleaner machines such as drum drain cleaners as they’re generally less heavy.
Handheld Drain Cleaners
For blockages in small drains, hand tools are often the more appropriate option than going for the biggest and most powerful. In this case, a handheld drain auger might be the right tool for the job.
Water Jetters
These machines are also known as hydro jetters and use high pressure water to break up softer obstructions like grease and scale build-up. They can also be effective at simply cleaning your pipes. Water jetters come in a range of sizes to suit a range of needs.
Electric Eels
Also known as a Roto-rooter, electric eel drain cleaners feature cutters at the end of a flexible cable, which is introduced into the blocked drain. This blade carefully works its way through the pipe, cutting through and moving aside any obstructions it encounters, allowing the debris to be flushed away safely.
