Blow Bags
What is a blow bag? It is basically a heavy duty rubber bladder that attaches to a hose. It is used to clear a clogged drain. It is inserted down a drain and uses water pressure to push through a clog. Blow bags are very successful in clearing clogs that are completely clogged. They are effective in situations when plungers and snakes are not, like on gooey and greasy clogs. The bag resembles a deflated balloon. It fits into a drain pipe. Once the water turns on the bag inflates with water and pushes the clogs out of the pipes and into the sewer or septic tank. In grease clogs snakes fail because the grease allows the snake to pass through the clog without getting rid of the clog. Blow bags blast through the clogs with bursts of pressurized water.
