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

First time using a device like this and it preformed flawlessly. The clog blew right out of my impacted downspout. I highly recommend.

Love it. Works great

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 didn't work for heavy root problems in French drains. I tried to blast my way through these clogged drains. This resulted in the Drain King blowing back out of the pipe in full force and me getting a face full of dirty water. Repeating the process didn't help. Eventually, I had to rent a power drain auger and was able to drag out at least 3 lbs of heavy roots. After clearing about 30 feet of roots from these drains I put the Drain King back to work hoping to do a final flush on these drains. Surprisingly, the Drain King stayed in place this time; however, I'm still getting residual back flow. I conclude that although most of the drains were cleared, any roots left must have been compressed further down the lines by the action of the water bladder. Bottom line, the Drain King works for most scenarios when the clogs are moveable. Heavy rooting problems requires the cutting action of an power auger; the Drain King will not work in this case and may exacerbate your problem by compacting the clog even more.

This expands in the pipe creating back pressure and pushing the clog out by force. I have a nortious 100ft pipe that clogs from all the sedement and I'm sure has a break under walkway somwwhere. It always clogs and I have to flush out before and after rains. This worked great to pressurize and clear a clog I couldn't get rid of for years! Once cleared, i put this on hose at one end and did my hose rod up 90ft up from the other end, making everything flush out to street rather than backing up into yard as it was doing before. My drain now flows better than ever before!

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.

This is a replacement for the same item that lasted for 20 years, before it failed. This one is made in the USA, and I'm not taking any chances with the ones that Home Depot sells, that are made in China.

Drain King cleared out French Drain that drains my back patio .. no more flooding! Have been procrastinating for weeks and found Drain King .. ordered it and with delivery following day .. my drains are cleared within hours of receiving, and are flowing 💯! Pouring Rain as I type!!!

This device is great at clearing drains etc

Por fin pude destapar mi drenaje, que la constructora (Ruba) dejó con material el tubo de 4” con una brida de 3”, lo había tratado de desatascar con uno de resorte truper, pero se destapaba parcialmente, ya que solo movía las obstrucciones, pero como continuaban, al poco tiempo se volvía a tapar, usé este y se empezó a escuchar un golpeteo en el drenaje que iba bajando de intensidad hasta que se escuchó que el agua salía libre, ahora en el tubo horizontal se queda 0.5cm de ancho de agua, ya podré poner nuevamente mi taza

Item delivered is as described
