What Berkeley homeowners want to know about drain cleaning — answered by our licensed plumbers.
Most Berkeley 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.
Drain snaking uses a rotating cable to break through or pull out blockages. It is effective for hair clogs and localized obstructions but leaves residue on pipe walls. Hydro-jetting uses high-pressure water to scour the full pipe interior, removing grease, scale, and root intrusion completely. For main sewer lines and recurring clogs, hydro-jetting provides more thorough and longer-lasting results.
Yes. Tree roots are one of the most common causes of sewer line problems in Berkeley 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 Berkeley for most clogged drain situations. Emergency drain cleaning — particularly for backed-up main sewer lines — is available 24/7.

"I called many places to see if someone could come and install a much needed commercial sink at work. Saul called me back and said he could be there in a few hours, and 3 hours later he showed up and installed the sink, faucet and replaced a broken toilet we had."
"Smelled gas in the basement late at night and called the emergency line. A plumber was dispatched within the hour, located the leak at a corroded fitting on the water heater gas line, and repaired it on the spot. They even came back the next day to re-verify with the gas detector. Truly appreciated the care taken."
"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."
