Power Rodding

A blocked drain or other pipes in your home should be addressed as soon as possible. Power rodding can be performed by our team at AAA Plumbing. Using an electrically powered machine that rotates blades in the drain, power rodding is used to remove a blockage or root intrusion. Power rodding is an effective method of removing blockages, saving you money, and allowing our professionals to see the damage to your pipes more clearly.

 

Benefits of Power Rodding

​

A drain clog can be effectively removed with power rodding. Power drain rodding has the following advantages over other drain cleaning methods:

​

• Pipes are less likely to be damaged by chemical drain cleaners or plumbing snakes

• By clearing the path for video inspections, the root cause of the problem can be found

• Suitable for all types of clogs, including grease and tree roots

​

Symptoms of a clogged sewer line are obvious - showers won't drain, sinks back up - but the conditions that cause a clog are less obvious. A blocked sewer line at your home has probably accumulated sludge for many years. As time passes, soap, grease, and residue build up inside pipes. In the process of building up sludge, the pipe's interior diameter narrows, making it more likely to catch even the smallest particles or objects flowing through. By the time it is completely obstructed, sewage and wastewater can no longer flow freely into your septic tank or municipal sewage system. Another common cause of sewer backups is tree roots encroaching on the sewer line.
