Chain cleaning for stubborn drain-line buildup.

Specialized chain-cleaning equipment can remove deposits that remain attached to the pipe wall in suitable drain systems.

Chain cleaning

Use the method that matches the pipe.

Chain cleaning is different from simply opening a path through a clog. Rotating chains can help remove scale, rust and other adhered deposits, but pipe material, size, condition and access must be evaluated before the method is selected.
