A clear, professional approach to drain cleaning — tailored to your Charleston property.
Our Charleston 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 Charleston, SC 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 Charleston 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 Charleston 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 cleaning in Charleston typically costs $150 to $350 for standard drain snaking and $300 to $600 for hydro-jetting depending on the line size and length. Main sewer line cleaning costs more than individual fixture drains. Magnet Plumbing provides transparent pricing before starting any drain cleaning work in Charleston.
Yes. Tree roots are one of the most common causes of sewer line problems in Charleston 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 Charleston for most clogged drain situations. Emergency drain cleaning — particularly for backed-up main sewer lines — is available 24/7. Most drain clearing jobs in Charleston are completed in 1 to 2 hours from arrival, with the line fully flowing before our plumber leaves.
