About Central Iowa Plumbing in Rhodes, IA

Sewer backups are a common issue in our area. The first step is to stop using all water fixtures in your home. Then, call us. We use a two-step process: first, a video camera inspection to locate the exact cause and point of the blockage—often tree roots or a collapsed line. Then, we employ powerful hydro jetting to clear the pipe completely. If damage is found, we can discuss repair or replacement options to get your system flowing properly again.

Yes, absolutely. A video camera inspection is a crucial tool for diagnosing hidden issues without unnecessary digging. We thread a small, high-resolution camera into your pipes to visually inspect the interior. This allows us to accurately identify problems like cracks, blockages, root intrusions, or corrosion. By seeing the problem firsthand, we can provide you with a clear explanation and recommend the most effective and cost-efficient solution, whether it's a simple repair or a full line replacement.

Yes, hydro jetting is a very effective and safe method for clearing kitchen drains, especially from grease buildup. Unlike harsh chemical drain cleaners that can damage pipes, hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to scour the inside walls of your pipes, removing grease, sludge, and debris. It's a thorough cleaning that restores full flow and is safe for all types of residential plumbing lines. It's often the best long-term solution for persistent kitchen drain clogs.
