What Albany homeowners want to know about drain cleaning — answered by our licensed plumbers.
Most Albany 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.
The most common causes of clogged drains in Albany 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.
Yes. Tree roots are one of the most common causes of sewer line problems in Albany 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.
Recurring drain clogs in Albany 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.
