Lombard Sewer Rodding

We clear the line — and tell you why it blocked.

Lombard’s older sewer lines have earned a blockage or two. Rodding clears them: a steel cable with a cutting head cuts through roots and buildup, and a camera check afterward tells you what your line actually needs next — often nothing.

Pro Services installed a 6 inch clean out and placed a lateral liner in our sewer line. What can I say, they did and excellent and professional job from start to finish. They're a great company.

After what started off as a horrible day we had plumbing issues on top of it. Cody came in and fixed it without hesitation and had the best attitude. I know it’s something small but he was a breath of fresh air. Thank you

Cody is the greatest person I have ever encountered!!! I was panicked about a sump pump issue and he contacted me right away and assured me all would be OK. He was prompt, knowledgeable and friendly.

Old lines, roots & repeat clogs

Blocked again? There's a reason, and it's findable.

Plenty of Lombard homes still run on their original sewer lines. Those lines work — they just need the occasional fight picked with roots and buildup, and rodding is the fight.
“Is rodding just a temporary fix?”
Fair question. Rodding removes the blockage; it doesn’t change the pipe. If your pipe is in good shape, that’s permanent enough — the clog was the problem. If the pipe itself invites trouble, rodding buys time while you decide on more. The camera look tells us which story yours is, and we’ll tell you plainly.

Before we start

“The toilet bubbles when the tub empties.”
Bubbles mean the water is fighting for one shared exit — a main line that’s partly blocked and passing air back up. Lombard’s older lines narrow with age and buildup, so this warning shows up before the full backup does. Rodding now beats mopping later.
“It drains, but slower every month.”
A line that’s slowing on a schedule is closing up — buildup and roots don’t take breaks. The good news: caught while it still drains, this is a routine rodding instead of an emergency. The cable restores the opening, and you find out what was narrowing it.

How it works

Clear it first. Explain it second. Upsell it never.

Lombard’s older sewer lines deserve a careful touch — the right cutting head, a steady pace, and a look at the pipe when the clearing’s done.
  1. Start with the symptoms.

    Slow everywhere or stopped somewhere? Gurgles or smells? What you describe tells us whether it's the main line and how urgent it is — and it means the truck shows up with the right heads for an older pipe.

  2. The right head for the job.

    Root blockages, grease, decades of buildup — each clears best with a different cutting head and a different touch. Older lines get a gentler pace; the goal is a clear pipe, not a stressed one.

  3. See the line, hear the options.

    With the line open, the camera shows what blocked it and how the old pipe is holding up. Anywhere in Lombard, you get the same deal: a plain explanation, options in writing if any are needed, and a price that stays put.

  4. Flowing, verified.

    We run water through and watch it move on camera. If it's not taking full flow, we're not done — simple as that.

Not sure yours needs fixing yet?

Call and ask. We’d rather talk you out of a repair than sell you one you didn’t need.

Our Standard

A little about
our customer service.

A stopped line at suppertime or a slow one you’ve watched for months — Lombard gets the same careful clearing and the same firm price.
THE DIAGNOSIS
Every clearing gets a look
The camera follows the cable on every job, so ‘cleared’ comes with evidence and the old pipe gets an honest checkup at the same time.
