What to Expect During and After Sewer Rodding

The easiest way to access your sewer line is through an accessible outside sewer cleanout.  Your cleanout is usually found somewhere in your yard and looks like a round pipe with a cap sticking out of the grass. If your home is on a slab or doesn’t have a basement, then it may not have an accessible inside cleanout. Our technician then has to rod your line through a different means, such as from a floor drain, toilet or the roof. These methods are more costly and are less effective than rodding from an accessible outside cleanout so it’s a good idea to consider having a cleanout installed on your property for future roddings.

Once your cleanout has been located, our technician then uses the rodding machine to locate and cut through the entire clog in your line. He’ll repeat the process several times to ensure that the clog is completely broken up and flushed away.  Next, everything is tested to make sure your sewer is indeed working normally once again. Finally, he’ll clean up the area, especially since sewer rodding can be a pretty messy process.

In instances where we believe your sewer line may be broken and in need of repair, we can send a small camera down your sewer line for an additional charge. This camera highlights and pinpoints where problems in your sewer line lie. You’ll receive a copy of your video and from there, we can determine the best, most cost-effective solution to your broken sewer line.
