Don't tackle the Clog Alone

Toilet Rodding

You may need to have your toilet rodded if it becomes clogged and will not flush properly. This can happen for a variety of reasons, such as an excess of toilet paper, an object being accidentally flushed, or a build-up of waste. In such cases, using a toilet auger or 'rodding' the toilet can help to clear the obstruction and restore proper function to the toilet. It is important to address a clogged toilet promptly in order to prevent overflows and other sanitation issues.

Sink Rodding

A sink may need to be rodded if it becomes clogged and will not drain properly. This can be caused by an excess of food or other debris being washed down the sink, a build-up of grease or soap scum, or the presence of a foreign object in the drain. In such cases, using a sink auger or 'rodding' the sink can help to clear the obstruction and restore proper drainage. It is important to address a clogged sink promptly in order to prevent water from backing up and causing damage or other issues.

Floor Drain Rodding

Floor drain rodding, also known as drain snaking or augering, is a process used to clear obstructions from a floor drain. It involves using a specialized tool, known as a drain auger or rod, to break up and remove any debris or other obstructions that may be blocking the drain. This can help to restore proper drainage and prevent water from backing up and causing damage or other issues.

To rod a floor drain, the auger is inserted into the drain and pushed through the pipes until it reaches the obstruction. The auger is then rotated or pushed in a back and forth motion to break up the obstruction and allow it to be removed from the drain. Once the obstruction has been cleared, the auger is removed and the drain is flushed with water to ensure that it is functioning properly.

Main Sewer Rodding

Main sewer rodding is a process used to remove blockages and obstructions from the main sewer line. It involves using a long, flexible rod to break up and remove any clogs or blockages that are preventing proper flow through the pipes. Rodding can be an effective way to restore proper drainage and prevent sewage backup in your home.

There are several signs that your main sewer may need to be rodded, including

Slow or clogged drains: If you notice that your drains are taking longer than usual to empty or are frequently clogging, this could be a sign that there is a blockage in your main sewer line.

Gurgling sounds: If you hear gurgling sounds coming from your drains, this could indicate that air is trapped in your pipes, which can be a sign of a blockage in your main sewer line.

Sewage backup: If you experience sewage backup in your home, this is a clear sign that there is a problem with your main sewer line.

Tub Rodding

Rodding involves using a long, flexible rod to break up and remove blockages from the inside of your pipes. It can be an effective way to restore proper flow to your tub's drainage system. However, it's always best to consult with a plumber before deciding on the best course of action for your specific situation. The plumber can assess the problem and recommend the best solution.
