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.
