Like any job working with powerful machinery, drain cleaning always comes with a risk of injury. Technicians can easily get injured when moving or operating drain cleaning machines if they are not paying attention and taking precautions to stay safe. To make your job safer – and easier – pay attention to all safety measures, be alert and follow all safety guidelines. Beyond reading the safety manual so you fully understand how to use the machine safely, take measures to lower the risk of injury to yourself. The most common injuries technicians and drain professions suffer are back and leg strains and sprains that usually come from carrying and moving the heavy drain cleaning machines. By carrying this equipment unaided, technicians put themselves and the machines in harm’s way. Avoid injuries by working smarter, not harder. Invest in a loading ramp for your heavier machines and save your back. Duracable sells loading ramps for its DM55 and DM175 models that bolt in...

Are you a drain technician looking to make your job easier and improve customer loyalty? Try using digital inspection equipment in your work to accomplish both goals. Using a digital inspection product – such as a Ridgid camera, monitor, or locator – will be extremely beneficial to your business and will be worth the investment. Using a camera system when working with drain lines can be very useful. Camera reels with a small camera head, such as the Ridgid SeeSnake reels, will easily navigate through twists and turns in the line that you are evaluating. The SeeSnake model can inspect pipes ranging from 2” to 12” in diameter, providing a wide range of possible uses at different jobsites, both residential and commercial. This model can also operate in temperatures as low as 4°F and as high as 104°F, making it useful year-round. Once you have run the camera through the line, you can begin clearing it with the confidence that you know the problem and can ad...

Even professional plumbers with years of experience have issues with their equipment, especially with sewer drain snakes breaking. However, learning how to correctly handle the drain cable can drastically increase its life, saving you time and money. Here are some basics on how to use a sewer drain snake properly when clearing a main line. Starting off, locate the main line cleanout and remove the cap. Check for standing water in the pipe. If you notice standing water, run the drain cleaning cable toward the street. If you do not see any standing water, you will need to run the cable toward the house. Make sure to position the drain machine as close as possible to the cleanout. The less slack there is when the sewer drain snake is fed down the line, the safer it is for you. Pull the end of the cable out of the machine reel and put it into the cleanout. Hold the cable tightly to avoid kinks in the snake and unnecessary injuries to yourself. Once the cable is in the drain, turn the mach...

When you work on drains for a living, you understand that you need a variety of tools in order to tackle specific jobs. You can’t use the same drain snake to service everything from a residential drain to a commercial mainline. It’s important to keep a range of tools on hand so that you’re ready for anything. If you’re tackling a tree root, you want to be able to cut through it. If you’re tackling a major blockage in a residential drain, you’re going to want to have the right cable to pierce through that blockage. That is why it is imperative that you include a 50 Foot Drain Snake in your tool kit. So, where should you be looking for your products? Duracable. Duracable takes pride in our work and provides the highest quality products available. Our DuraFlex cables are made of hard drawn, high tensile, proprietary strength wire, and are simply an industry favorite. This is because our cables are rigorously tested in order to provide the best possible...

When you clean drains for a living, you understand that the quality of your equipment is of the utmost importance. Without solid drain-cleaning equipment, your job not only becomes harder, but it also becomes less efficient. You don’t want to have to tell your customer that you cannot complete the job in one trip because you have bad or the wrong equipment – you will have wasted both your and your customer’s time and you could potentially lose the customer. To prevent this, you need to invest in a good machine and reliable cables –if you don’t have functioning cables, the rest of your equipment is rendered essentially useless. That’s why you want Sewer Machine Cables that are going to work well and last a long time. The size and type of cables you need will depend on the kind of jobs you’ll do with them. Do you primarily work with residential drains or do you focus on big sewer mainlines? Is tree root removal a significant part of your business? The machine will determine wha...
