• A chain knocker is a specialized tool designed for clearing blockages and obstructions, and removing buildup such as scale and mineral deposits within pipes and drains.
• It consists of a length of sturdy chain or group of chains with various attachments, such as cutting edges or abrasive tips on its surface.
• The chain is driven (spun) by a power source, typically a motorized machine, which rotates it rapidly within the pipe or drain.
• The primary function of a chain knocker is to dislodge and remove deposits, debris, tree roots, scale buildup, and other stubborn obstructions that impede the flow of water or waste through plumbing systems.
• In contrast to traditional methods like snaking or hydro-jetting, chain knockers offer a more targeted and aggressive approach, making them particularly effective in tackling tough blockages and restoring optimal flow.
• While all these mentioned applications have a strong place in pipe maintenance and rehab, this article focuses on the use of chain knockers.
