Kane County Sewer Rodding & Jetting Services

Powerful, Eco-Friendly Solutions for Your Home

If your entire plumbing system needs to be cleaned out, it may be time for a sewer rodding procedure. The process includes flushing out your entire system using specialized rods connected to a hydraulic truck. 

On the flip side, you may benefit from hydrojetting services instead of sewer rodding. The process involves clearing sewer lines with high-pressure water and a specialized hose and nozzle to knock away clogs or sludge that develop in your plumbing system. 

At J&R Herra Home Services, we have the equipment, tools, and training to get the job done. If you are experiencing issues with your home’s sewer lines or pipes, give us a call. We can inspect your plumbing system and determine the best solution for your home.

What Is Sewer Rodding? 

Sewer rodding is one way of clearing sewer lines and pipes that have become clogged or fully blocked by debris. In many cases, it is the only way of clearing stubborn clogs. 

How the process works: 

• First, our plumbing experts will come out to your home for an onsite inspection. They will carefully examine your home’s sewer lines to locate the clog and determine whether sewer rodding is the best option for clearing your plumbing system.
• Next, to begin the process, your plumber will feed a long, flexible rod through the pipes. Depending on the location of the clog, as well as the extent of the blockage, your plumber may feed rods through a drain, pipe, or manhole. 
• Your plumber will use the rods—which are flexible enough to move through the pipes without causing damage, while simultaneously being firm enough to push out clogs and debris—to remove the blockage from your sewer lines. 
• Finally, your plumber will check to ensure that all debris has been successfully cleared from the sewer lines. This typically involves flushing water through the plumbing system to ensure that there are no more backups or clogs. 

Sewer rodding is a highly effective method of clearing stubborn, hard-to-access blockages. It can even be used to clear away tree roots that have grown into sewer lines by safely grinding them up and pushing them through until they have moved through and out of the pipes. 

It is important that you leave sewer rodding up to the professionals. At J&R Herra Home Services, we have the right equipment and the necessary training to quickly and effectively clear stubborn clogs and extensive debris from all types of sewer systems and plumbing fixtures.

What Is Hydrojetting? 

Like sewer rodding, hydrojetting is a method of clearing debris from drains and pipes. However, unlike sewer rodding, hydrojetting does not rely on long, flexible rods to remove blockages; instead, it uses only high-pressure water to safely push out clogs and clear sewer lines. 

How it works: 

• Before we begin, we will come out to your home to inspect your sewer lines and pipes using inline video imaging to locate any blockages and determine the type of debris causing the clog.
• Depending on the type of debris and extent of the blockage, your plumber may first use a plumbing snake to break up the clog before starting the hydrojetting process. 
• To start the process, your plumber will insert a specially designed nozzle, which is attached to a “jetter,” into the sewer lines, typically through a cleanout opening. 
• Next, your plumber will use the “jetter” to send high-pressure water through the sewer line. Typically, this water is pressurized at up to 3,500 PSI (pounds per square inch). 
• Afterward, your plumber will ensure that all debris has been successfully cleared by running water through the sewer pipes. 

Hydrojetting is a safe, effective, and environmentally friendly method of removing blockages and cleaning out sewer lines. However, it is not ideal for everyone. For homes with older, fragile sewer lines and pipes, hydrojetting could cause more damage.
