Drain Unblocker Rods FAQs
Are drain rods any good?
They are! Drain rods are perfect for clearing stubborn blockages. These professional grade tools offer a quick and easy solution and come in adjustable lengths.
What are the different drain rod attachments for?
Drain rods are supplied with a selection of different attachments in various sizes, each designed to suit a specific drain size or blockage type. Our drain cleaning rods also come with a double worm screw to grab and shift stubborn debris.
Are all drain rods the same size?
No, drain rods come in a selection of different lengths, and are adjustable to help you reach blockages at various depths using attachable and detachable sections.
Will drain rods go round bends?
Yes, they will. They’re designed to be flexible so as to bend with the drains, allowing you to reach round corners. Consider using Lockfast attachments for especially complex drain networks, as they will prevent you from losing the plunger head even when it’s well out of sight.
How do you use a drain rod?
-Assemble the required length of drain unblocker rod
-Attach the correct size and type of head

-Use an up-and-down motion to create suction and move the blockage until it’s loose, much like a standard plunger
Can you unblock a drain without rods?
Sometimes, yes. It’s possible to shift simple blockages with standard plungers or chemical unblockers, but more stubborn or hidden build-ups will require the use of drain clearing rods.
