What Is Sewer Rodding?

Sewer rodding is a mechanical method of clearing blockages in your sewer lines using long, flexible rods. These rods can reach deep into pipes to break up roots, hair, grease, or other debris causing backups. It’s one of the fastest and most cost-effective ways to restore flow without digging or replacing pipes, making it a preferred solution for many Chicago homes and businesses.

Signs You May Need Sewer Rodding

You should consider sewer rodding if you notice: multiple drains clogging at once, slow draining sinks, tubs, or toilets, gurgling noises coming from pipes, water backing up in the basement, foul odors coming from drains, or recurring clogs after snaking. These symptoms often indicate blockages deep in your main sewer line — exactly what rodding is designed to clear.

Our Sewer Rodding Process

Our sewer rodding process is designed to clear stubborn blockages quickly and safely while protecting your plumbing system. Using professional equipment and proven techniques, we remove roots, debris, and buildup from your sewer line, restoring proper flow and preventing future backups. In some cases, we also use a camera inspection to identify hidden issues and ensure the job is done thoroughly.

Inspection & Assessment

We start every sewer rodding service by carefully assessing your plumbing symptoms and reviewing any prior issues you’ve experienced. Our technicians identify the safest and most effective access point for the rodding process, ensuring minimal disruption to your property. By pinpointing the exact location of the blockage, we can develop a precise plan to clear it efficiently and safely.

Mechanical Rodding

Using professional-grade, flexible rods, our trained technicians feed the tool deep into your sewer line to break up roots, grease buildup, and other debris. This method removes stubborn blockages quickly and effectively, restoring proper flow throughout your plumbing system. Mechanical rodding is a proven technique that addresses the root cause of many common sewer problems without the need for excavation or costly pipe replacement.

Optional Camera Inspection

If blockages are recurring or the situation seems complex, we can perform a sewer camera inspection to visually assess the interior of your pipes. This allows us to locate cracks, misalignments, or hidden damage that may be contributing to persistent problems. Using video diagnostics ensures that no issue is overlooked and helps guide the most effective solution.

Flow Verification

After completing the rodding process, we test your drains and sewer line to confirm that waste and wastewater are flowing freely. This final step ensures that the blockage has been fully cleared and your sewer system is functioning properly. Our goal is to leave your home or business with a fully restored, worry-free sewer system and peace of mind.

Benefits of Sewer Rodding

Professional rodding provides immediate clearing of blockages, prevention of sewage backups, long-term reliability for older sewer lines, minimal disruption to your property, and an affordable alternative to full sewer line replacement.
