Frequently Asked Questions

Older clay pipes have tiny joints that shift over time. Tree roots seek out the moisture inside these pipes, squeezing through the cracks and growing until they completely block the flow of water.

Yes, professional rodding is very safe. We use the correct size blades and cables specifically chosen to clean out blockages without damaging the structural integrity of your pipes.

If your property has large, mature trees near the sewer line, we generally recommend preventative rodding once a year to keep the roots manageable and prevent unexpected backups.

We strongly advise against using harsh chemical cleaners. They rarely clear deep main line blockages and can actually eat away at your pipes, causing serious leaks over time.
