Don’t plumbing issues pop up at the worst times? While minor clogs can typically be handled with a plunger and elbow grease, there are moments when your drains scream for professional help.
A sewer rod is a plumbing lifeline, using a flexible rod to clear stubborn blockages (sewer rodding) that settle deep within your home’s pipes. But how do you know when to call in the calvary?
If your drains are staging a frequent rebellion, wave the white flag and call a pro. Constant backups suggest something more sinister than stray hair or a grease spot. Sewer rodding digs deep into the pipe, tackling hard-to-reach blockages that DIY fixes are hard-pressed to touch.
One slow drain is annoying but manageable, but when all your drains are sluggish, that’s a serious red flag. This indicates a deeper clog in the main sewer line, and no amount of DIY drain cleaner and pushing a plunger will fix that. A professional with the right tools can clear the line, getting water flowing freely again.
If your home smells more like a sewer plant than a sanctuary, a buildup of waste lurks in your pipes. Sewer rodding clears these blockages, restoring your home to an odor-free haven.
Have you ever flushed the toilet and watched in horror as water bubbled up in the shower or sink? This is a serious warning sign of plumbing trouble, often indicating a severe blockage in the main sewer line. The water has nowhere to go, quickly becoming a smelly, messy, bubbling disaster. Sewer rodding is one of the only ways to clear this blockage, preventing a full-blown flood of your home’s plumbing system.
Your home’s plumbing pipes shouldn’t sound like they’re trying to make conversation. Gurgling is caused by trapped air due to grime blockages, and it’s a clear sign that professional plumbing help is a must-have.
Older homes come with charm (and older sewer lines). Everyday sewer rodding keeps aging systems in good shape, preventing minor issues from becoming expensive disasters.
