In 1953, Charles A. Moore, affectionately known as "Charlie," invented the CAM Pipe Clearing system. At the time, he was a plumber and inventor, working under Bill Beatty, a building manager at Selz & Southman Realty on the southeast side of Chicago.
Bill Beatty approached Charlie to restore the water flow in a hot water line of one of his recently renovated buildings. He wanted to avoid disturbing the newly tiled bathroom, so it was crucial to find an efficient pipe clearing method that wouldn't involve breaking into the walls.
Determined to tackle the challenge, Charlie experimented with various common methods for water flow restoration, but none succeeded. Frustrated yet motivated, he realized there had to be a way to improve water circulation without invasive measures, leading him to invent the CAM Pipe Clearing machine. This innovative solution successfully restored water flow to the bathroom, much to Mr. Beatty's delight.
In gratitude, Mr. Beatty provided Charlie with a list of other units around the city that faced the same issues, thus birthing CAM Pipe Clearing. Over the years, improvements have been made to the machine, but its primary goal remains unchanged: to ensure water flow restoration and water pressure improvement for challenging blockages at a reasonable price.
