The group of inventions can be used for removal of deposits in sewers and the simultaneous removal thereof in various pipelines, providing mechanization of the cleaning process in a sewage pipeline and eliminating the need for disassembling the drain system and manually cleaning it. A movable element and a cleaning tool mounted thereon, both arranged within the sewage pipeline, are moved along the sewage pipeline by means of a drive mounted outside the sewage pipeline and connected to the movable element. In the initial position, the cleaning tool is located at the end of the sewage pipeline, outside the sewage pipeline portion connecting the drain pipe with a riser. When the cleaning tool reaches the end position at the junction of the sewage pipeline and the riser, the drive and the movable element move the cleaning tool to its initial position.

The system disclosed herein is directed to a plunger adapted for use with a protective sleeve for shielding contaminants from the plunger. In one example, a plunger has a handle having a first end and a second end. A flexible cup is coupled to the first end of the handle. The flexible cup has an interior surface and an exterior surface. An inlet is disposed on the exterior surface of the flexible cup. A through-hole is located in the flexible cup offset from the inlet. A connector is coupled to the inlet between the flexible cup and the handle. The connector is configured to join the first end of the handle to the flexible cup.

A drain cleaning device includes a drum, and a cable positioned within the drum. The cable is operable to be extended out of the drum and into a conduit. The drain cleaning device also includes a motor coupled to the drum to rotate the drum, a sensor operable to detect a characteristic of the cable, and a controller coupled to the sensor and the motor. The controller is configured to receive a signal from the sensor indicative of the characteristic of the cable and send an instruction to the motor to change an operating parameter of the motor based on the signal received from the sensor.

The present invention relates generally to the field of pump cleaning and unclogging. More specifically, the present invention relates to a tool which allows a user to unclog and remove rags, cloth materials, debris, or other obstructions from submersible and master-station pumps. Further, the invention can be used either as a hand tool or as an attachment to a crane or other machine for power assisted pulling, unclogging, and removal of rags, cloth materials, debris, and other obstructions.

A septic line cleaning assistance device that positions into alignment with a lower opening in a T-pipe to plug the lower opening in the T-pipe. The blocked lower opening enables a suction apparatus to suck waste from a pipe connected to a waste opening in the T-pipe through an upper opening in the T-pipe. A rod is configured to be inserted along the T-pipe and positioned into place along the T-pipe. The rod comprises a plug end holding the plug that is configured to frictionally engage the lower opening in the T-pipe to effectively seal the lower opening. A handle end having a grip enables the positioning of the plug over the lower opening, and pulling the plug into a mating position with the lower opening. An adjustable peripheral fastener is slidably positioned over the upper end of the T pipe to hold the device and plug in place.

A drain cleaning device including a drum, a cable positioned within the drum, a motor coupled to the drum to rotate the drum, a cable feed device operable to extend the cable out of the drum and retract the cable into the drum, a sensor operable to detect a performance characteristic of the drain cleaning device, and a controller coupled to the sensor and to the motor, the cable feed device, or both. The controller is configured to receive a signal from the sensor indicative of the performance characteristic of the drain cleaning device, and send an instruction to the motor, the cable feed device, or both to change an operating parameter of the motor, the cable feed device, or both based on the signal received from the sensor.

System and method for removing scale of a sewer pipe using microbial mist type spray, the system including a microbe storage tank to store liquid microbes; a chamber connected with the microbe storage tank through an injection pipe and supplied with a determined, metered amount of liquid microbes, if needing to spray liquid microbes into the sewer pipe; a metering pump provided on one side of the injection pipe, to supply power for injecting a metered amount of liquid microbes into the chamber; an air tank to store compressed air; a supply pipe to supply compressed air into the chamber when the liquid microbes are sprayed; a supply tube to allow liquid microbes having air cavities resulting from supply of the compressed air to flow; and a spray nozzle provided at an end of the supply tube, to spray liquid microbes in a mist form into the sewer pipe.

A sewer cleaning apparatus which has a hollow cylindrical body propelled by a plurality of water jets with a clam shell opening on the front of the apparatus operated by a plurality of piston assemblies that are attached to the sides of the cylindrical body. The apparatus is propelled by high pressure water ejected from the apparatus in a rearward direction. The high pressure water operates the piston assembly opening the clam shell and provides forward thrust for the apparatus allowing the hollow bucket type object to trap solids inside apparatus.

An integrated tank has a debris-storage chamber, a water-storage chamber, and a muffler system. The muffler system is disposed proximate the water-storage chamber. The muffler system includes a bypass muffler and a discharge muffler.

A clear or generally transparent cover or enclosure for plumbing tools is described. The clear cover enables viewing of interior regions of the plumbing tools. In particular versions, the covers are used with drum type drain cleaning devices and enable visual inspection of the drum and/or a flexible drain cleaning cable associated with the device.
