Our proven drain cleaning process delivers reliable results for Long Lake homeowners every time.
Our Long Lake 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.
Magnet Plumbing clears clogged drains in Long Lake, IL using professional hydro-jetting or mechanical snaking selected for the specific blockage. Hydro-jetting removes grease, scale, and roots from the full pipe interior — not just punching a hole through the clog.
After clearing, we run water through the drain to verify full flow is restored and confirm no secondary blockages are present further down the line.
Our Long Lake 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.
Answers to frequently asked drain cleaning questions from Long Lake homeowners.
Most Long Lake 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 Long Lake 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.
The most common causes of clogged drains in Long Lake homes are grease and food particles in kitchen drains, hair and soap scum in bathroom drains, tree root intrusion in main sewer lines, mineral scale buildup from hard water, and flushing non-flushable items that get stuck in the sewer line. Each type requires a different clearing approach.
Chemical drain cleaners are generally not recommended for Long Lake 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.
Our reputation is built on results. Here is what our customers have to say.
"Been meaning to write this for a while. Our sewer line collapsed and we had three quotes — two wanted to dig up the whole yard, Magnet recommended trenchless. They finished in two days, no damage to the lawn, and the price came in thousands under the other guys. The Magnet team knows what they are doing and I will not hesitate to call them again."
"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."
"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."
