For the biggest, meanest drain cleaning jobs in Columbus, Ohio, locals trust Ron Zimmerman, owner of R&B Sewer & Drain.
R&B subcontracts drain cleaning services for nearly 30 plumbing companies within 100 miles of Ohio’s capital. And those professionals routinely tap R&B for their most challenging drain cleaning emergencies.
“Our phone is answered 24 hours a day, seven days a week,” Zimmerman notes. “And our four crews have earned a reputation for honestly doing jobs right — the first time.”
Storming Through Big Jobs
Zimmerman counts on durable, reliable drain cleaning and inspection solutions from General Pipe Cleaners. And his main weapon on tough, big-line jobs is the Typhoon trailer jet. The brawny, gas-powered water jet blasts grease, sediment, ice and other blockages from large lines or in remote locations — all with more operating features than competitive designs offer.
With a 2,500 psi, 12 gpm pump for high water flow, the Typhoon pulverizes clogs with wall-to-wall cleaning action from its hefty, 200-gallon holding tank. And its powerful 24 hp Honda engine ensures extended performance on stubborn stoppages. A 2-1 V-belt reducer extends pump life.
On-demand Vibra-pulse also helps slide the nozzle around tight bends and down long lines. Two hose reels — one carrying 400 feet of 1/2-inch jet hose with a variable-speed electric rewind and the other carrying 150 feet of 3/4-inch supply hose — mount next to the pressure gauge, guide arm and output valve on the trailer rear. Secure access to engine controls comes through a handy, lockable toolbox below both reels.
“It drinks lots of water — and always works!” Zimmerman says. “In one month alone, we used our Typhoon on at least 30 jobs.”
Typhoon Saves the Day
One of those jobs concerned an 87-year-old woman. An unscrupulous competitor claimed she’d need a new clean-out for $5,000. Shady drain cleaning outfits that scam unwary customers bother Zimmerman.
“We see lots of folks billed for thousands of dollars of unnecessary work,” he laments. “And all they get is a taillight warranty! Luckily she got a second opinion — ours.” R&B’s Gen-Eye sewer camera — also from General Pipe Cleaners — spotted the real problem: roots. The company’s Typhoon with a Chain Saw Nozzle then “handled the job at a small fraction of the first company’s estimate.”
General Pipe Cleaners’ Chain Saw Nozzle rips through roots and scrapes scale off pipe walls in 4-, 6-, 8- and 10-inch lines.
Range of Powerful Solutions Available
In addition to the Typhoon trailer jet, General Pipe Cleaners’ popular range of Jet-Set water jets also includes powerful, portable electric and gas models. Compact, economical electric water jets are great for clearing smaller lines and inside 1 1/2- to 3-inch lines, like sinks and laundry drains. Get right to the problem by carrying the lightweight, powerful JM-1000 Mini-Jet — or wheeling the trim JM-1450.
For bigger jobs, General Pipe Cleaners’ muscular, gas-powered machines punch through stubborn stoppages in longer, outside 4- to 8-inch lines. All sport 3,000 psi pumps, reliable engines, punctureproof tires and robust frames.
Reputation and Reliability Count
Rugged, reliable General Pipe Cleaners water jets are excellent for clearing sludge, sand, sediment, ice, grease and other sticky stoppages from restaurants, hotels, hospitals, factories, schools, sports arenas, care facilities, shopping centers and more.
“I can’t do the job right if I don’t have the right tools,” Zimmerman says about his arsenal of General Pipe Cleaners drain cleaners. “General Pipe Cleaners enhances our professional image!”
