Answers to frequently asked drain cleaning questions from Southwood homeowners.
Most Southwood homeowners benefit from professional drain cleaning every 1 to 2 years as preventive maintenance. Kitchen drains in households that cook frequently may need annual service. Homes with large trees near the sewer line should have the main line inspected and cleared annually to prevent root buildup from causing backups.
Yes. Tree roots are one of the most common causes of sewer line problems in Southwood neighborhoods with mature trees. Roots enter through small cracks or joints in older sewer lines and grow inside the pipe, eventually causing recurring blockages, complete blockages, or pipe collapse. Annual hydro-jetting and a root treatment can control root growth and extend line life.
Chemical drain cleaners are generally not recommended for Southwood homes with older plumbing. The caustic chemicals can accelerate corrosion in metal pipes and degrade older PVC joints over time. They also rarely clear blockages completely and can make the problem worse by causing debris to compact. Professional drain cleaning by Magnet Plumbing is safer and more effective.
Magnet Plumbing offers same-day drain cleaning service in Southwood for most clogged drain situations. Emergency drain cleaning — particularly for backed-up main sewer lines — is available 24/7. Most drain clearing jobs in Southwood are completed in 1 to 2 hours from arrival, with the line fully flowing before our plumber leaves.
Real feedback from homeowners who trusted Magnet Plumbing with their plumbing projects.
"Once again Magnet Plumbing came to save the day. I manage a building of 49 units and we had a gas leak somewhere. The city shut the gas for the whole building. They showed up right away and got to work. They found the problem, fixed it, and were able to turn the gas back on so people could have dinner. Saul is amazing — right on time, very professional."
"Had a new tankless water heater installed and could not be happier. The plumbers were punctual, clean, and walked me through the warranty and maintenance before leaving. Highly recommend for any water heater project."
"These guys are amazing, very professional, friendly, clean and neat on their job and appearance. I had a clog on my main line at 11pm on a Saturday and they came and got the job done, so now they are my go-to guys. I recommend them to my family so you know they are good once you trust them with your family's plumbing."
