Help...where can I get Drain Rods

[k2]

Hi

Need to get hold of (buy happily, or rent) a set of drain rods.... you know these things that are so widely available outside of Fr...  (here are links to what I need, so you know just what I mean)....

Any ideas where I can get them from (in 24 or 87 area) ?

Mr Bricolage says dont do them, and don't know where I can get them

Brico Depo...ditto

Castorama...ditto

Point P...ditto

 

French hire companies / or Vidange companies around here will just hire you water pressure kits etc.....but NOT Drain Rods.... they dont seem to know them.

Oh sure you can get "deboucher" tools from Castorama etc for clearing sink pipes etc ...but these are feeble and v short ..and not meant for real drains sous-terre leading off to fosses or water run areas of 30 or 40 meters

No doubt some of the knowledgeable users of this forum know where I can get these rods from

Any ideas as to where I can get them from in the 24 or 87 area???

I would be most grateful for any info

Thanks

Weldom do them, but they are for sweeping chimneys, try asking for a chimney sweeping set, its the same thing.  M Bricolage may also do them if you ask for chimney rods

Yep, I agree.  We got ours from Mr Bricolage - but they sold them to us for our chimeney, we use them for the drain!

Thanks to both of you

 

The chimney rods are a bit stiff (and I needed 5 sets, ie 40m's  :O(

 

But they did the job, and all's fine now
