From first call to final inspection, here is what to expect from Magnet Plumbing in University Park, PA.
Our University Park plumber inspects the clogged drain — checking the cleanout access, running a camera for main line blockages, or assessing the drain type and flow to determine whether snaking or hydro-jetting is the appropriate approach.
We clear the blockage using the appropriate method — a drain snake for localized clogs, or high-pressure hydro-jetting for grease buildup, scale, or root intrusion in main lines.
Magnet Plumbing verifies that all drains are flowing freely at your University Park, PA property after clearing — running extended flow tests and checking downstream connections to confirm the blockage is completely eliminated.
Our University Park plumber explains what caused the blockage and recommends specific prevention measures — whether that is a grease trap for the kitchen, a hair catcher for the bathroom, or annual hydro-jetting for the main sewer line.
What University Park homeowners want to know about drain cleaning — answered by our licensed plumbers.
Most University Park 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.
Chemical drain cleaners are generally not recommended for University Park 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.
Yes. Tree roots are one of the most common causes of sewer line problems in University Park 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.
Drain cleaning in University Park typically costs $150 to $350 for standard drain snaking and $300 to $600 for hydro-jetting depending on the line size and length. Main sewer line cleaning costs more than individual fixture drains. Magnet Plumbing provides transparent pricing before starting any drain cleaning work in University Park.
