Young Plumbing Business Trusts Rugged, Reliable General Tools To Keep Growing

Owner Lee Meazle minces no words when praising his company’s arsenal of drain cleaning tools from General Pipe Cleaners.

“Quality is excellent,” he confidently contends, “And they’re built to last”.

Like many plumbing pros, Lee and his staff at Lavon Plumbing LLC demand rugged, reliable equipment to clear the stubborn spot stoppages they frequently face.

Tools must perform first time, every time. And that’s why Lee arms his crews with General’s durable, dependable Mini-Rooter machines.

Reputation To Protect

About 35 miles northeast of Dallas TX, family owned and operated Lavon Plumbing has forged a robust reputation for peerless professionalism.

Locals count on Lee’s company for a wide range of standard services — including residential plumbing, water heater replacement and repair, water leak repair, and gas leak detection and repair.

But Lee knows that, among all customer concerns, “clogged drains are the worst”.

“The disruption is terrible,” he declares. “But thanks to our experience, equipment, and reputation, customers consider Lavon Plumbing a trusted clogged drain repair service to get their lives back on track – as quickly as possible.”

Rooftop To Basement Performance

And that’s where General’s rugged, reliable Mini-Rooters really prove their worth.

The compact, economical machines quickly clear drains from rooftop to basement – including kitchen, bath, and laundry lines. And they’re engineered to save time and trouble – for both plumbing professionals and their clientele.

Lee’s choice – the popular, portable Mini-Rooter Pro® model – blends the original design’s superb dependability and performance with built-in wheels and a folding handle for ideal transport, maneuverability, and storage.

Two 6” semi-pneumatic wheels easily transport and maneuver General’s machine during work. And the convenient handle lets users easily roll the Mini-Rooter Pro to and from jobs – and quickly folds to save room in the truck.

Productive – And Profitable

Time is money, as every plumbing and drain cleaning professional knows. And General designed the Mini-Rooter Pro for maximum productivity, profitability, and ROI.

Detach the drum in just seconds to boost portability or to swap cables – minimizing mess and downtime.

A distributor tube also lets operators control the cable without regularly chucking and releasing – additionally boosting efficiency.

And an optional Power Cable Feed drives and retracts cable at up to 16 feet per minute – further speeding work.

Industry-Standard Cable

The drum holds up to 75 feet of 3/8” of Flexicore® cable for 2” to 3”, and most 4” lines.

For small drain jobs, add General’s optional J-Drum with 50 feet of 1/4” or 5/16” cables handles smaller 1-1/4” to 2” drain lines.

Unique, patented Flexicore cable offers superior kinking resistance and unequalled strength with the right amount of flexibility.

It’s so tough that it carries the best warranty in the business – one-year protection against breakage.

Trusted Tools For A Burgeoning Business

Young, fast-growing Lavon Plumbing LLC will soon add another crew with truck – necessitating the purchase of even more General equipment.

Lee personally loves General tools. He claims they “last forever” and are “easy to repair” in a pinch – unlike, he cites, some competitive products.

“They’re very cost-effective!” he smiles.

Two Handy Handhelds

Lee should know: over his professional career working for his uncle, he’s relied on a wide range of General machines for more than 30 years.

Two personal favorites include two rugged, handheld tools: Super-Vee® power drain cleaning machine for small line stoppages and innovative Teletube® heavy-duty closet auger.

Tough & Time-Tested

Easy-to-use, handheld Super-Vee easily unclogs sink, shower, toilet, and laundry lines up to 3” in diameter.

Lee calls it “very resilient” – and “very compact”, with a “generous amount of chord” for optimal jobsite efficiency.

It’s so rugged that many last for 10, 20, or even 30 years without replacement. It’s that reliable.

He also likes Super-Vee’s “easy disassembly and reassembly”. “You can easily repair it yourself in a pinch!” Lee declares.

Tackling Stoppages Just Beyond The Bowl

The Teletube closet auger with three extra feet of Flexicore cable telescoped inside the guide tube remains another General standout, Lee quickly adds.

Have a stoppage further down the line? Just push the button for extra cable length when you need it.

“It saves you from having to pull the toilet – a lot!” Lee winks.

“It’s just another General product that lasts forever,” he stresses. “General tools really are built to last!”
