rodding
Clearing with poles
Rodding is the act of clearing a pipe or drain with a rod, pushing through blockages to restore flow.
Plumbers rod clogged sewers; chimney sweeps rod flues.
In another sense, rodding refers to driving or customizing hot rods: He spent his weekends rodding around town.
The word also appears in construction for inserting reinforcing rods into concrete.
