How Much Does Sewer Rodding Cost?
Sewer rodding is one of the most common plumbing services — especially in areas like Chicago where older homes often rely on gravity-fed sewer lines. While the procedure can be straightforward, the conditions inside your sewer line determine how long the job takes and what equipment is required. The usual range for sewer rodding can be anywhere between $200 to $1,200, but this is just an estimate and can only become more accurate through a closer look at the unique plumbing features found in an individual home.
| Typical Range | Average Cost | |
|---|---|---|
| Sewer Rodding Cost | $200 – $1,200 | $750 |
Factors That Influence the Cost of Sewer Rodding
Cleanout Access
If your home has an accessible cleanout, the job is faster and less labor-intensive. Homes without a cleanout often require rodding through a stack, toilet flange, or floor drain — increasing time and complexity.
Presence of a Cleanout
No cleanout = more labor. Installing one may be recommended for long-term maintenance.
Length of the Sewer Run
Longer sewer lines require longer cables and more powerful equipment to reach the obstruction.
Time Needed to Clear the Clog
A quick blockage may take only minutes; tougher obstructions can take an hour or more.
Hydro-Jetting Duration
Jetting is priced by time — 2 hours, 3 hours, or 4+ hours depending on the severity of buildup, grease, or obstruction.
Condition of the Sewer Line
Older clay or cast-iron lines may be cracked, sagging, or full of debris. Damaged lines cost more to clear — and may require a camera inspection to assess further repairs.
Root Intrusion
Heavily root-infiltrated lines take longer to clear and often require cutting blades or jetting.
Material Found Inside the Line
Grease buildup, wipes, foreign objects, broken pipe sections, and collapsed pipe areas all change the difficulty and time involved.
