What is Sewer Rodding?

Understanding Sewer Rodding

Sewer rodding is a method used to clear blockages in sewer lines and drain pipes. This process involves using a flexible rod to navigate through the sewer line and break up obstructions that are causing blockages. Unlike traditional snaking methods, sewer rodding can handle more stubborn clogs, making it a preferred choice for many plumbing professionals.

The Power of Rodding Sewer Line

When it comes to rodding a sewer line, power rodding takes the process to the next level. Power rodding uses a high-powered machine with a flexible steel cable that is equipped with various cutting heads. These cutting heads can effectively cut through tough obstructions such as tree roots, grease buildup, and other debris that regular snaking tools might struggle with.

No clog is the same in any house. Determining what is causing a back up and what fixtures are involved is the first step in figuring out how to resolve the blockage. Once the problem area is identified, the power rodding machine is inserted into the sewer line. The flexible cable is maneuvered through the pipe, and the cutting heads break apart the obstruction, allowing it to be flushed away. Once that is complete, our team performs a lateral inspection of the sewer line using a camera to identify the exact location and nature of the blockage. This inspection allows us to check the integrity of the sewer line as well as determine how to prevent more backups from happening in the future.
