Sewer Rodding Starts at Just $99!

The everyday special price of $99 covers:

  • Basic rodding of clogged sewer to puncture clog
  • No charge if we don’t restore flow
  • Includes rodding from an outside access (cleanout) only
  • Includes rodding up to 100 feet

No Flow = No Charge.

If we are unable to puncture the clog and restore some flow to your drain, we won’t charge you for the rodding. It’s as simple as that.

Tree Roots and Sewer Pipes – a Love/Hate Relationship.

Tree roots and sewer pipes go together like… well, it just really depends on who you ask.  Roots love sewers.  And since sewers can provide a nearly constant supply of nutrient-dense water to the trees, what’s not to love?

Sewers, on the other hand, hate roots.  Roots are relentless in their efforts at pipe infiltration.  They will seek out weak points, wear away concrete joints, and patiently await their opportunity.   Then they will prod, poke, and probe until they’re in.  Next thing you know, you have a clogged sewer.

Tree roots can grow outward as far as three times the branch spread of the tree.  This means that your sewer can be infiltrated by the roots of a tree several houses away.  And after a tree has been cut down, the roots can continue to grow for several years.  This means that cutting down a tree is almost never a good short-term solution for roots in a sewer.

The best way to eliminate a root infiltration problem is to replace the bad section of the sewer with a material impenetrable to roots, such as PVC pipe.  Another great solution is Trenchless Sewer Repair.

Sewer Hydro-Jetting.

Our sewer hydro-jetting service or, simply, sewer jetting, uses high-pressure water to scour the inside of the drain pipe. It can cut through the toughest roots, eliminate soft blockages and deposits, and restore the pipe to near-original diameter. Sewer hydro-jetting is simply unmatched in its drain cleaning ability.

This is our hydro-jetter. It can cut a two-by-four in half with a stream of water, but its day job is cleaning sewers.

Bio-Clean For Natural Drain Maintenance.

A great way to maintain your drains is to use Bio-Clean regularly.  This special blend of natural bacteria and enzymes digests organic waste found in your plumbing system without causing damage to your pipes or the environment.
