YOUR DAY-TO-DAY AS A RODDING AND HYDRO JETTING DRAIN TECHNICIAN

As a Rodding and Hydro Jetting Drain Technician, you will receive dispatched service calls and travel to homes and businesses throughout the northern Chicago suburbs. You will identify where a drain or sewer line is backed up, select the appropriate machine and cable for the job, clear the blockage, and test the line to ensure it is flowing properly. Your work will include clearing everything from sink and tub lines to main sewer lines using rodding equipment, along with operating a hydro jetter to remove grease, roots, and scale. Once the line is flowing again, you will schedule a follow-up appointment for the Lead Technician to perform a camera inspection and determine the cause of the backup. You will earn a bonus for every camera inspection lead you set, allowing you to increase your earnings without camera work or sales pressure. Some days you will clear several routine drain lines, while other days you will focus on a single challenging main sewer blockage, but every day you will play an important role in restoring service for customers and leaving their property cleaner than you found it.
