Dyno-Rod is an emergency drainage and plumbing company operating in the United Kingdom. Formed in 1963 as Dyno-Rod, Dyno initially specialised in the use of electromechanical machines for drain clearance. Since then, the company has grown considerably, consolidating its drainage business and diversifying into comprehensive plumbing services, for both domestic and industrial sites.[1][2][3] It is a franchise granting limited company.

Dyno-Rod describes itself as "one of the market leaders in our field."[4] Apart from clearing blockages, it uses CCTV to inspect drains, makes plumbing repairs, and installs new pipework.[4] The company offers a twenty four hour emergency response service across the United Kingdom and Ireland (Éire).

Dyno-Rod was acquired by Centrica's subsidiary British Gas for £57.6 million ($104.3m) in October 2004.[5]
