How Does Sewer Rodding Work?
Sewer rodding works by forcing a rod, tool, chemicals, or water down pipes to clear clogs blocking your flow. The entire process of rodding out drains can take several hours.
Depending on what is causing the clog, a plumber will use different tools for different jobs. For example, a plumber will use a grease cutter to drill through the blockage if you have a grease clog.
Rodding is safe on pipes, drains, and sewers. However, this service must be done by a professional, especially if chemicals are required. Otherwise, you risk causing worse problems than a blocked drain.
