Opening a clogged sewer or drain calls for tough equipment. General builds sewer and drain cleaners with the most rugged components, from cutting heads to electrical systems.

We've been making pipe cleaners since 1930 and have continually improved their reliability. For instance, years ago we introduced our Flexicore® cable, which is reinforced with wire rope. It's still the toughest cable you can buy.

Flexicore

We build machines for professional use and for maintenance in plants, buildings, schools, restaurants, and hotels. We also make machines for the rental industry, and the highest quality drain cleaning tools available for the hardware/home center market. And we give you the broadest warranty in the industry.

Our web site will help you choose the model you need. If you have any questions or want more information, contact the Drain Brains® at General.

PLUMBING PROFESSIONAL SCORES TRIPLE PLAY WITH GENERAL CAMERA, DRAIN CLEANER AND CABLE.

Owners of an expensive new home in an upscale housing plan south of Fresno, CA, certainly expected their toilets to work.
