General Pipe Cleaners
1101 Thompson Ave
McKees Rocks PA 15136
United States
For the better part of a century, General Pipe Cleaners, a third-generation, family-owned business has been based right here in the USA. Clogged sewers and drains demand “The Toughest Tools Down The Line”. And General has remained a leading U.S. manufacturer of highest quality drain-cleaning and inspection equipment since 1930. It all started with breakthroughs like Flexicore® cable, a radical design first introduced in the 1940’s. With its patented process of wrapping spring wire around a wire rope core, General’s invention surpassed all competitive products – remaining the standard for drain cleaning snakes ever since. These join our trusted industry standards – like the long lasting Super-Vee®, best selling Speedrooter 92® and unique Kinetic Water Ram™ drain cleaners. Our Jet-Set® water jets smash through grease, sand and ice. And our Gen-Eye® video pipe inspection systems and Hot Spot® digital pipe locator feature everything to trouble-shoot 1-1/2" through 12" lines – including Wi-Fi capability. Surveys confirm: multiple generations of plumbing and drain cleaning professionals call General their preferred brand! For more information, contact the Drain Brains® at General at 800-245-6200 or 412-771-6300, or visit drainbrain.com.
