Traditional rodding involves the use of a thin, flexible cable machine (such as Rigid or Spartan) to create an opening in the clogged drains or sewer pipes. While this allows water to flow through again, it is sometimes only a quick fix of bigger problems. In those cases, more specialized techniques may be required to clear drain and sewer pipes. Master Trade is equipped and experienced in various solutions for clearing blocked lines.

Pipelining is a minimally invasive, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly way that allows the rehabilitation of existing drainage pipes without having to tear it out and replace it conventionally. Pipelining is accomplished by inserting an epoxy-soaked felt tube into the pipe, inflating it, and letting it cure in place. After the liner has cured, the result is a brand new pipe within the old pipe. This new inner pipe has a 50-year life use expectancy—that’s almost double the life use of cast iron.
