A slow drain is a warning. By the time it's a complete blockage, you're losing use of your kitchen, bathroom, or laundry room entirely. Masters Plumbing Service's drain techs in May, TX use hydro-jetting equipment rated to 4,000 PSI and CCTV pipeline cameras to locate, clear, and document the obstruction — not just temporarily push it further down the line.

Every drain call we run in May, TX starts with identifying what type of blockage you're dealing with — because the method that clears a grease blockage efficiently is different from the one that handles root intrusion.
Hydro-jetting is the only method that restores full pipe diameter. A cable auger punches through a blockage; a jetter removes the blockage material from the pipe wall entirely, significantly extending the interval before the next cleaning is needed.
Before recommending any clearing method, we run a push-rod camera into the drain to visually confirm blockage type and location. Grease accumulation 30 feet in looks different from a root ball at a joint or a collapsed section — and each requires a different response.
We clear kitchen drains, bathroom sink and shower drains, floor drains, laundry drains, and main sewer lines. Our equipment scales from a 1/2" kitchen drain line to a 6" commercial main — same certified technician, same professional-grade tools.
Our written service report notes the blockage type, location, method used, and any structural observations from the camera run. You walk away knowing the state of your drain system, not just that the water is flowing again.
Not every blocked drain is the same problem. Here's how our team approaches each type — with the specific tools and technique that actually resolve it.
Grease blockages in kitchen drain lines often occur 10–40 feet from the drain opening, past the p-trap, where the line cools and FOG solidifies. Our jetting equipment reaches and clears these deposits where a plunger or retail product cannot.
Chronic slow bathroom drains often point to a partially closed p-trap, a buildup on the overflow plate mechanism, or a drain arm pitched incorrectly. We clear the immediate clog and identify if a mechanical fix is needed to prevent fast recurrence.
Root intrusion at pipe joints is the leading cause of main sewer blockages in homes over 20 years old. Our electric root cutter attachment on the sectional cable removes the root mass; we then scope again to confirm the line is clear before pulling equipment.
Basement floor drains and laundry room drains often go years without cleaning and can develop sediment, lint, and mineral scale blockages. We clear these drains with an electric snake and flush thoroughly to confirm full flow before closing out the job.
A preventive jetting program documented over multiple visits gives you both clean pipes and a camera record of pipe condition over time — useful for catching structural deterioration before it causes an emergency.
Sometimes the question isn't just "why is this draining slowly" but "what is the actual condition of this pipe system." We run a recorded CCTV inspection with distance markings and provide a written report noting blockage types, root intrusion points, joint offsets, pipe material, and any visible structural defects.
Here's exactly how a Masters Plumbing Service drain call plays out in May, TX — from dispatch to documented clear.
Your description lets us load the right equipment before we leave the shop. Main line call vs. single kitchen drain is a different tool setup — knowing ahead saves time on site.
The camera also gives us the distance to the blockage and confirms the pipe diameter — both factors in selecting the right clearing method and nozzle size.
Based on the camera findings, we present you with a flat-rate quote and explain exactly which method we're using — electric auger, hydro-jet, root cutter — and why. No work begins until you approve.
If anything was found during the camera run that warrants monitoring or repair, it's noted in the written report so you have a record — useful for planning future maintenance or a repair conversation.

Called about a kitchen drain that three other plumbers had snaked without long-term success. Masters Plumbing Service ran a camera first and found grease buildup 28 feet in, past where any hand snake reaches. Hydro-jetted it, re-scoped to confirm clean, and the drain has run perfectly in the months since.
All three bathrooms drained slowly and the lowest floor toilet gurgled every time an upstairs fixture ran — classic main line partial blockage. Masters Plumbing Service's tech accessed the cleanout, ran the camera, and found root intrusion at a clay tile joint about 40 feet from the house. He cut the roots with the root cutter attachment and re-scoped to confirm clear flow. Also noted a joint offset at 68 feet that we'll need to line eventually — good to know before it becomes a full backup.
Had a pre-purchase drain scope done on a home we were buying. Masters Plumbing Service's tech ran every accessible drain and the main sewer line with the camera, gave us a written report with timestamps and footage. Found a small bellied section in the main line that the seller agreed to repair before closing. Worth every penny for the negotiating power alone.
