Professional Drain Rodding Services
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.
