Routine Cable Machine Cleaning, explained.
A cable machine feeds a flexible steel cable with a cutting head down a drain. The head spins, cuts through hair, roots and soft buildup, and pulls debris back out. For branch lines, tubs and floor drains it is quick and effective.
On a schedule, cabling keeps those lines clear between deeper cleanings. We choose the head for the job and clean up as we go.
