A clear, professional approach to drain cleaning — tailored to your Melrose property.
Our Melrose 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 Melrose, MA property after clearing — running extended flow tests and checking downstream connections to confirm the blockage is completely eliminated.
Our Melrose 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.

Most Melrose 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 Melrose 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 Melrose 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 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.
Real feedback from homeowners who trusted Magnet Plumbing with their plumbing projects.
"We noticed our water bill doubling month over month and could not find anything visible. These guys came out with the leak detection equipment and located a slab leak under the living room in about thirty minutes. The repair was minimally invasive — small access cut, patched afterward, and the bill is back to normal. Really impressed with the professionalism."
"Fixed a hidden leak behind the drywall without tearing apart the whole wall. Impressed with how precise they were and how quickly they found it."
"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."
