UNCLOG AN OUTSIDE MAIN DRAIN PIPE **PLUMBING** USING AN AUGER
• ⌚STEP #1 - CLEAR CLEANOUT PLUG OF DEBRIS
• Brush the dirt and leaves away from the opening of the cleanout plug
and twist the plug off. You may need to start loosening it with a
wrench, then finish removing it by hand.

• ⌚STEP #2 - AUGER ROOT CUTTER
• Place the root cutter blade of the auger into the drain and turn on
the power. Be certain that the end is far enough in the drain so it
won't pop out and become dangerous once the power is turned on.
• ⌚STEP #3 - FEED AUGER CABLE INTO DRAIN
• Feed the auger cable into the drain until you feel resistance at the
root clog. Slow down the feed and allow the cutting blade to do its
work. By pulling the auger cable back and forth you can cut away at
different areas of the clog. Once you feel the blade has cut through the
roots, place a running hose into the drain to wash away the cut bits
and root debris cuttings. With the hose still in the drain, rework the
area with the augers root cutting blade to clear as much of the root
system as possible.
• ⌚STEP #4 - BACKING OUT THE AUGER CABLE
• As you feed the auger through the main drainpipe, you may come to
point where it feels as if you have ran upon a hard impassable spot.
This is most likely the main sewer. When you get to this point
(generally 50 to 60 feet from the front of the house) stop feeding the
cable and slowly back the auger out of the drain.
• ⌚STEP #5 - TEST THE TOILETS
• Before cleaning and putting all of the equipment away, replace the
cleanout plug and test all of the toilets in the house by flushing them
several times. If everything works according to plan, and no more back
ups occur, feel free to clean and put things away. If you rented your
auger, be sure to follow the return instructions for cleaning and
maintenance so you won't get charged extra. You are all Done.
