Common questions about drain cleaning in Downtown St. Paul.
Most Downtown St. Paul 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 Downtown St. Paul 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 Downtown St. Paul 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.
Magnet Plumbing offers same-day drain cleaning service in Downtown St. Paul for most clogged drain situations. Emergency drain cleaning — particularly for backed-up main sewer lines — is available 24/7.
