Drain King H34 Unclogs Sewer Lines, Main, and Outside Deck Drains, 3 To 4 Inch

I have 2 ABS drains in my yard that have been clogged for YEARS! They were packed solid with mud and dirt and who knows what else. Got a quote from a plumber who quoted 1000$ PER DRAIN to do a high pressure water jet to clear them. Thought I'd give this a try, why not? It's twenty bucks. My drains were flowing like rivers within 5 minutes! I'm not handy by any means but this is heaven sent!

Last year the main line backed up and I paid over $700 + the mess of cleaning up the inside overflow …YUCK! This time I had a better idea of the issues that happen before the full back up happens. Flushing the toilet and then bubbling in the toilet and slow drainage in the tub. Then waste coming up in the shower/tub when flushing the toilet is the last line of defense before it’s all over your floors!So this time I watched some videos and stumbled across this item. Seemed reasonable enough if you kinda understand what’s happening. Something clogs the mainline (toilet paper, toys, or even roots) and all you need is an enough pressure to push it out of the way. Now it could be a major issue like a collapsed pipe, but if you just need to push the junk down the pipe, THIS WILL DO THE TRICK!(The first thing I did try was some chemicals that should have eroded the junk, but that didn’t work for me. That was about $100)After some research, I went with this brand. A lot of people advised not to go with other brands. I hooked it up to the hose line and you have to push it down just enough to seal off where water doesn’t overflow on the ground, but also so that it doesn’t blow back into the house. It’s not far, but look at some videos on this (if you don’t push it far enough it will either not work or make a larger mess).The first time I tried it (I was a little scared), I turned the water on for 5 mins but it wasn’t sealed so it didn’t work. It wasn’t far enough in the pipe or maybe was in an area where it didn’t fill the pipe all the way. The second time I did it, I pushed it a little further, this time I knew it wouldn’t blow back into the house so I was less scared. It made a seal so that the water didn’t come out the top of the pipe onto the ground. I ran the water for 10 mins. When I turned the water off, I heard a big suction sound and that’s what you are waiting for. The blockage was pushed out and you are back to normal. They say that you should run the hose a little longer just to make sure the junk is pushed all the way down the line. Some lines of 100ft or more.Anyway, this was a $21 solution. I know I saved myself hundreds of dollars and the headache of having to call a plumber. Now I have what I need in the event that this were to happen again.Hope this helps you!

This is my third one! I have learned not to leave outside, they weather and crack. This one is better quality than some I have previously used and does the job. What can I say, my house was built in the 60’s.

This is very helpful in clearing clogs in drains. Easy to use.

We’ve had sewer main issues under our house for years due to the cast iron pipes being old and my reluctance to completely rip out the basement floors to replace them. So periodically I’ve had to jetty the system. This tool has worked like a charm for what we need at way less of a cost to have someone come out and perform the same thing.Essentially it’s a pipe bladder that, when your garden hose is connected, it expands to the inside pipe diameter not allowing backflow. Then as the water pressure builds up, it acts as a mini pressure jet to wash waste down the pipe that may have been stuck.This isn’t going to cut through roots, or fix issues with broken pipes, however if you’re in a similar position where you just need to periodically pressure clean the interior of the pipes due to slow flow, this is perfect.

Had a nasty clog somewhere under the concrete in my basement, and had only very limited use of kitchen sink and dishwasher. Its been an ongoing problem and I tried several (expensive!$$$) chemical drain cleaners with no success. Before I spent hundreds on a plumber (they want $300 just to show up with their drain rooter machine) I decided to try Drain King. IT WORKED! Hooked up a couple hoses and pushed it down near the cause of the problem. Turned on the water and listened to it work its magic. Didn't know how long to let it run, but after about 4 minutes, I figured something must have happened, so turned it off and pulled out the unit. Ran the kitchen sink for 5 minutes and NO clog or backup! Its FIXED!!!!!Thanks Drain King! Wife will be so happy and my bacon is saved!

Sorry for the long review!!!I usually don't write reviews, but after using this I had too! If you have a clogged main line but don't want to call a plumber right away order one of these!! It's definitely worth it! Saved my husband and I tons of money!Our floor drain in our basement was backing up when someone would shower or use the washing machine. Instead of calling a plumber I started surfing the internet for other things we could try, before forking out hundreds of dollars. We hooked the drain king up to our garden hose, and attached it to our laundry sink. Put the drain king in the main clean out and let run in there for about 30 mins. After 30 mins we removed drain king and tested the drain. All seemed fine, so I did 2 loads of laundry on the second round the drain in the basement started backing up again. My husband and I were frustrated, thinking this thing doesn't work. We decided to give it a break for the night and try again in the morning. Next day we tried it again and within a minute or so the water that was surrounding the floor drain all of a sudden went down in a flash!! I've done 3 loads of laundry and taken a shower and no more backed up floor drain!! Never been so excited and relieved to have a working drain again. Definitely recommend this item for clogged drains.
