Claim:
1. An automated pipe clearing device comprising a case assembly and a head assembly; the case assembly contains a reel, a cable, a computer and a feeder; the head assembly includes a motor; the head assembly on a first end is connected to a first end of the cable; the head assembly on a second end has a rotatable bit operatively connected to the motor; a second end of the cable is in electrical communication with the computer; the cable includes a wire to supply electrical power to the motor in the head assembly; the feeder is controlled by the computer and selectively spools and unspools the cable from around the reel; the case assembly is permanently mounted at a high side of a pipe; the head assembly permanently remains inside the pipe; in a rest mode the cable is spooled around the reel and the motor is not rotated; in a clearing mode the cable is unspooled from around the wheel so that the cable pushes the head assembly along a length of the pipe and the motor spins the bit so that when the bit encounters a clog that clog is broken and flushed further along the length of the pipe.
