A clear, professional approach to drain cleaning — tailored to your Portsmouth property.
We inspect the drain with a cable camera or by running water to assess the blockage type and location before selecting the right clearing method — snaking, hydro-jetting, or a combination.
Magnet Plumbing clears clogged drains in Portsmouth, NH 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.
We flush the cleared drain in your Portsmouth home thoroughly to confirm full flow is restored. For main sewer lines, we may run a post-clearing camera to verify the pipe is clear from the building to the city connection.
We advise you on habits and maintenance that reduce future drain problems — what not to put down the drain, enzyme treatment options, and when to schedule preventive cleaning.
Answers to frequently asked drain cleaning questions from Portsmouth homeowners.
Most Portsmouth 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 Portsmouth 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 Portsmouth 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.
Recurring drain clogs in Portsmouth homes usually indicate an underlying issue beyond the immediate blockage — pipe scale that makes the interior rough and catches debris, a partially collapsed pipe section, persistent root intrusion, or an improperly sloped pipe that allows solids to settle. Magnet Plumbing uses camera inspection to identify the root cause of recurring drain problems.

"Late-night leak under the kitchen sink, had someone out within 90 minutes. Stopped the leak, replaced the shutoff valve, and I could finally go back to sleep."
"Main water line burst and we had a river in the front yard. They isolated the break, got the water back on within a few hours, and replaced the section cleanly the next day. Excellent emergency response."
