Professional Drain Rodding Services

Drain rodding is one of the most established methods for clearing blockages in sewer and stormwater lines. Using flexible steel rods, we manually break through debris, tree roots, or other obstructions, allowing water to flow freely again. For tougher blockages, we combine rodding with modern methods such as jet drainage to deliver the most effective outcome.

Our licensed plumbers are highly skilled in diagnosing and resolving blocked drains. We use drain rodding as part of our comprehensive unblocking services, including:

 

  • Breaking through solid obstructions in sewer lines
  • Clearing tree roots and foreign objects
  • Removing grease or debris build-up in pipes
  • Accessing difficult drain sections where other methods can’t reach
  • Preparing pipes for further cleaning or inspection

This method is particularly effective in older drains or situations where water jetting may not be suitable.

Jet Drainage for Stubborn Blockages

While drain rodding is a powerful tool for mechanical clearing, many blockages require additional cleaning to ensure long-term results. That’s why we often combine it with jet drainage using high-pressure water jetters. This clears away remaining debris, grease, or root fragments, leaving your pipes in top condition.

By using both methods together, we provide a complete solution that not only clears the immediate blockage but also reduces the risk of repeat problems.

    I've used LJM for years and am always very satisfied and grateful for their work. I've had a couple of jobs this year (thanks to Greg, Ethan, Jack, Andy and Danyelle) which are always scheduled promptly. The plumbers always turn up on time or early, are clear with all communication and advice, friendly, polite, and well mannered. The team is such a delight to deal with, and so rare to receive the standard of service LJM consistently delivers these days. Thank you!!

    I had Ethan from LJM Plumbing and Drainage come out today to fix a leaking shower, and I’m so impressed with the service. After a bad experience with another plumber who was going to rip me off, Ethan was a breath of fresh air. He was honest, professional, and very courteous. He fixed the problem quickly and explained everything along the way. I would definitely use them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable plumbing.
