Manual cleaning with supplementary apparatus
Manual cleaning with supplementary apparatus in non-accessible drains and sewers is carried out using tools such as rods or coils. In the process, an appropriate cleaning attachment is fixed on to a flexible rod or coil which is spun and forced through the line to remove obstacles or deposits in its way.
