Drain Machine — ¾ in × 100 ft Auto Feed Complete Kit

Main line blockages don't clear with a plunger, and they don't clear with a ½" branch line snake. The ¾" cable on this machine has the stiffness and torque capacity to push 100 feet through a 3" to 6" mainline — navigating standard sweeps and cleanout angles — without the cable going limp and coiling in the pipe before it reaches the blockage. That cable diameter is what separates a main line tool from a branch line tool, and it's the reason this machine exists alongside the smaller kit in our lineup.

The auto feed mechanism is the other thing that sets this unit apart from a standard drum snake. On a 100-foot run, manually feeding and controlling cable with one hand while managing the machine with the other creates real risk — spinning cable at speed is not something you want contact with. The auto feed advances and retrieves cable without hand contact, which keeps the operator's hands on the guide tube where they belong. It's a meaningful safety feature, not a convenience option.

The complete kit designation means the cutter heads ship with the machine. Main line blockages vary — root intrusion in clay tile joints calls for a different head than a grease buildup in a cast iron stack, which is different again from a soft obstruction in a PVC line. The kit includes the heads that cover the most common main line scenarios. Confirm what's in the bag at pickup and ask the counter staff if your blockage type needs something specific — our team at every location knows the equipment and will make sure you leave with the right setup.

The renters who reach for this machine know what they're dealing with — licensed plumbers on residential service calls, general contractors managing site plumbing during a build, and property managers who've exhausted the simpler options. New Hampshire's older housing stock, particularly the cape-style and colonial homes common across the Lakes Region and Merrimack Valley, still runs a lot of clay tile and cast iron mainline. Root intrusion at pipe joints is a recurring problem in those systems, and the ¾" cable with a root cutter head is the standard approach. If you're managing a rental portfolio with recurring main line issues, a charge account with NorthPoint makes more financial sense than per-job rentals adding up through the season.

One thing to confirm before you pick this up: know where your cleanout access is and what pipe size you're working with. The ¾" cable is rated for 3" to 6" pipe — it's too aggressive for 1½" or 2" branch lines and will damage fittings. If the pipe size is in question, call us and describe the situation before you rent. We cover most of New Hampshire — check our full service area to confirm your town — and we back every rental with our best price guarantee. Our five locations carry this kit in stock year-round.
