Drain Cleaning Machines by Type
Closet and Canister Augers
Toilet blockages need a closet auger, not a cable machine. The flexible shaft inside a protective housing navigates the toilet trapway without scratching porcelain.
- T6FL-DH Teletube Flexicore Closet Auger. Telescopes from 3 to 6 feet. Flexicore cable reaches past the trapway and pulls or pushes the obstruction clear. Vinyl bowl guard protects the porcelain.
- TU4 Telescoping Urinal Auger. Fits smaller urinal bowl openings with a rubber bumper guard and 4 feet of spring cable.
Browse all closet and canister augers.
Sink Machines
Sink, tub, and shower drains from 1.5 to 3 inches need a compact machine that fits into tight spaces under cabinets and in crawl spaces.
- Super-Vee. Electric variable-speed with 50 feet of Flexicore cable. Clears grease, hair, and soap buildup in minutes. The go-to for professional service calls on small indoor drains.
- D-25 Handy. Runs off a standard electric drill or by hand. Stores in a drop-tested container. Built for jobs without a power outlet.
Browse all sink machines.
Drum Machines
Drum machines handle the widest range of drain cleaning work, from 3-inch branch lines to 10-inch sewer mains. The drum holds the cable, the motor spins it, and the power feed drives it into the line.
- Speedrooter 92. The standard for 3 to 10-inch lines. 1/2 HP motor, 100 feet of 5/8-inch Flexicore cable, power feed that drives cable at up to 20 feet per minute through roots, grease, and packed debris.
- Maxi-Rooter. Steps up to 3/4 HP with 100 feet of 3/4-inch cable for commercial mains up to 10 inches.
Browse all drum machines.
Flexible Shaft Drain Cleaners
Flexible shaft drain cleaners spin at 2,000+ RPM and clear 2 to 4-inch lines faster than traditional cable machines. The high-speed rotation scours pipe walls clean rather than just punching a hole through the blockage.
- Flexi-Rooter. Drives a 5/16-inch shaft through tight bends without getting stuck. Available with 50 or 75 feet of cable depending on configuration. The base unit for all flexible shaft work.
- Carbide-Tipped Chain Cutters. Paired with the Flexi-Rooter, these turn it into a pipe descaling machine that grinds scale off cast iron walls and cuts through root masses in aged pipes.
Browse all flexible shaft drain cleaners.
Water Jetting Machines
A water jetting machine blasts grease, sand, sludge, and soft blockages out of drain lines using high-pressure water. Jetters excel where cable machines struggle: lines with multiple bends, heavy grease buildup, or soft deposits that cable just pushes through.
- JM-2900-B Sewer Jetter. The mid-range workhorse. 13 HP Honda engine, 3,000 PSI at 4 GPM, 200 feet of 3/8-inch hose, complete Vibra-Pulse nozzle set. Built for outdoor sewer and drain work.
- JM-1450-A. 1,500 PSI electric, 150 feet of reach. Bridges the gap between indoor mini-jets and full outdoor jetters for mid-size commercial jobs.
- JM-1000 X Mini-Jet. 120V, fits through doorways. Purpose-built for indoor work on 1.5 to 3-inch sink, floor, and shower drains.
- Piranha Lateral Jetter Hoses. UL-listed at 4,000 PSI working pressure. Replacement and upgrade hoses in diameters from 1/8 to 3/8 inch for any jetter in the lineup.

Replacement Cables, Cutters, and Nozzles
Replacement cables, cutter heads, and jetter nozzles are in stock for every machine type listed here. Cables are sized from 1/4 to 3/4 inch to match pipe diameter. Check each product page for compatible accessories.
How to Choose the Right Drain Cleaning Machine
- Toilet stoppages. Use a closet auger. Cable machines and jetters are not made for toilets.
- Sink, tub, and shower drains (1.5 to 3 inches). Use a sink machine or flexible shaft.
- Branch lines and floor drains (2 to 4 inches). Use a drum machine or flexible shaft.
- Main sewer lines (4 to 10 inches). Use a full-size drum machine like the Speedrooter 92 or Maxi-Rooter.
- Grease, sand, and sludge. Use a water jetting machine. Pressurized water clears soft blockages better than cable.
- Scale buildup in cast iron. Use a flexible shaft with carbide chain cutters. This is the pipe descaling machine for that job.
- Line inspection. A pipe inspection camera locates the blockage before cleaning and confirms the line is clear after.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do drain cleaning machines come with cables and cutters included?
Most drum machines and sink machines ship with one cable sized for their pipe range. Cutters, blades, and nozzles are sold separately and matched to the pipe size and blockage type. Check the product page to see what is included before ordering.
Can a water jetter damage old pipes?
Jetting is safe on sound pipes at the correct pressure setting. If the pipe wall is already cracked, collapsed, or heavily corroded, high-pressure water can break through the weak spot. Camera-inspect old clay and cast iron lines before jetting at full pressure.
What machine is used for pipe descaling?
A flexible shaft drain cleaner with carbide-tipped chain cutters is the standard pipe descaling machine for cast iron drain pipes. The chains spin at 2,000+ RPM, grinding scale off the pipe walls and scouring them clean. This method works on cast iron and other hard-walled pipes, not PVC.
What size drain cable do I need for my pipe?
Cable diameter matches pipe size. Use 1/4-inch cable for 1.5 to 2 inch drains, 5/16 to 3/8 inch for 2 to 3 inch lines, 5/8 inch for 3 to 6 inch lines, and 3/4 inch for 6 to 10 inch sewer mains. Oversized cable jams. Undersized cable folds.
What is the difference between a drum machine and a jetter?
A drum machine uses a rotating steel cable to cut through roots, packed debris, and solid blockages. A water jetting machine uses high-pressure water to flush grease, sand, sludge, and soft deposits. Cable machines power through obstructions. Jetters wash them out.
What should I know before buying drain cleaning equipment?
Match the machine to your most common pipe size and blockage type. Check cable length and motor power. For indoor work, choose a 120V electric machine. For outdoor sewer lines, gas-powered jetters handle the distance and pressure. Cleanflow ships drain cleaning equipment free across Canada on orders over $199.
