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 Rush City, MN use hydro-jetting equipment rated to 4,000 PSI and CCTV pipeline cameras to locate, clear, and document the obstruction β not just temporarily push it further down the line.

Retail drain products and inexperienced plumbers share one problem: they treat the symptom, not the cause. Our approach combines the right equipment with the right diagnostic process.
Our truck-mounted hydro-jetting units propel water at up to 4,000 PSI through a rotating nozzle that scours pipe walls clean β removing grease buildup, scale, and soft root intrusions in a single pass. Unlike augers, jetting leaves the pipe interior clean rather than just piercing a hole through the clog.
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 β 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 β 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 β with the specific tools and technique that actually resolve it.
Grease blockages in kitchen drain lines often occur 10β40 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.
Hair and soap scum are the most common bathroom drain blockages. They bond to the pipe walls inside the p-trap and in the drain arm, forming a mat that progressively constricts flow. Our techs remove the drain cover, clear the p-trap obstruction with a hand snake or drum auger, and flush the line.
When multiple fixtures are draining slowly or backing up simultaneously, the blockage is typically in the main sewer line β the 4" or 6" pipe that carries all household waste to the municipal main or septic system. We access the main line through the cleanout, run a CCTV camera to identify the obstruction type, then clear with a sectional cable machine or hydro-jetter depending on what we find.
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 β 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.
We don't show up and start snaking blind. Our approach uses a camera-first diagnostic protocol to confirm what we're clearing before selecting the method.
Tell our dispatcher which fixtures are affected β one slow drain vs. multiple backed-up fixtures tells us whether we're likely dealing with a localized clog or a main line blockage. We schedule same-day when slots are available.
Before clearing anything, we run a CCTV camera into the line to see blockage type, location, and pipe condition. This prevents treating a structural pipe failure with a jetting pass that won't hold.
If the camera reveals a structural problem that will require repair rather than just clearing, we tell you that now rather than letting you pay for a clearing that won't last.
After clearing, we run the camera a second time to confirm the pipe is open to full diameter. You see the before-and-after footage. We provide a written service summary and our drain clearing warranty.

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.
Main line backed up completely on a Sunday. Found Masters Plumbing Service and they came within 2 hours. Camera found a 3-inch grease plug combined with roots at a joint. Cleared both with cable and jetter, sent me the scope video via email. Super transparent process.
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.
