Have questions about plumbing in Ketchikan? We have answers.
Trenchless sewer repair in Ketchikan replaces damaged sewer lines using pipe lining or pipe bursting methods — without digging up your yard, driveway, or landscaping. It works for most sewer line problems including cracks, root intrusion, and offset joints. Magnet Plumbing uses camera inspection to confirm trenchless repair is the right approach for your specific line condition.
If you smell gas in your Ketchikan home, do not operate any electrical switches, open flames, or appliances. Leave the building immediately, leaving doors open as you go. Call your gas utility from outside or from a neighbor, then call Magnet Plumbing for emergency gas line inspection. Do not re-enter until a professional has cleared the property.
Your main water shutoff valve in Ketchikan is typically located near the water meter, near the front foundation, or in the basement or utility room. Turn the valve clockwise to close it. If you cannot find your shutoff or it is stuck, call Magnet Plumbing immediately — our emergency crew can help locate and operate the valve to stop water damage.
Most Ketchikan homeowners benefit from professional drain cleaning every 1 to 2 years as preventive maintenance. Homes with large families, frequent cooking, or older plumbing may need service more often. Tree roots, grease buildup, and hair are the most common causes of drain problems in Ketchikan. Magnet Plumbing uses hydro-jetting and snaking to thoroughly clear all drain types.
To prevent frozen pipes in Ketchikan, insulate exposed pipes in unheated areas like garages, crawl spaces, and attics. Keep cabinet doors under sinks open during cold snaps. Let faucets drip slightly during freezing temperatures. If a pipe does freeze, call Magnet Plumbing immediately rather than attempting to thaw it yourself to avoid a burst.
When hiring a plumber in Ketchikan, always verify their AK license and insurance. A licensed plumber must pass state examinations and carry liability coverage that protects your property. Magnet Plumbing employs licensed, background-checked plumbers throughout Alaska — call (844) 618-0753 to schedule service or get a free estimate.
