A slow drain is a warning. By the time it's a complete blockage, you've lost use of your kitchen, bathroom, or laundry room entirely. Masters Plumbing Service's Kent drain crew uses professional-grade augers, hydro-jetters, and CCTV cameras to resolve blockages at their source.

Every drain call we run in Kent, OR starts with understanding the blockage before selecting the method. Here's what that difference looks like.
Before recommending any clearing method, we run a push-rod camera into the line to visually confirm blockage type, location, and pipe condition. Grease 30 feet in looks different from a root ball at a joint โ and each needs a different response.
Our truck-mounted jetting units propel water at up to 4,000 PSI through a rotating nozzle that scours pipe walls clean โ removing grease buildup, scale, and soft root intrusions that a cable auger simply punches through and leaves.
We clear kitchen drains, bathroom sink and shower drains, floor drains, laundry drains, and 4โ6 inch main sewer lines. Our nozzle set and cable sizes scale from a 1.5-inch drain arm to a 6-inch commercial main.
Every drain call includes a written service report noting blockage type, location, method used, and any structural observations from the camera run. You know the state of your drain system โ not just that the water is flowing again.
Not every blocked drain is the same problem. Here's how our team approaches each type โ with the specific tools and techniques that actually resolve it.
Kitchen drains accumulate FOG โ fats, oils, and grease โ that solidifies on pipe walls and progressively narrows the line over months and years. We use a combination of a cable auger to break the initial plug and a hot-water hydro-jet pass to scour residual grease film from the pipe walls. For commercial kitchens we also service grease interceptors and document the cleaning for health code records.

Hair and soap scum bond to pipe walls inside the p-trap and drain arm, forming a mat that progressively constricts flow until drainage stops entirely. Our techs remove the drain cover, clear the p-trap obstruction with a hand snake or drum auger, and flush the line to confirm full flow.
Root intrusion at pipe joints is the leading cause of main sewer blockages in homes over 20 years old. Our electric root cutter removes the root mass; we re-scope after clearing to confirm the line is open to full diameter before pulling equipment.
Utility room floor drain blockages sometimes indicate a slow-developing main line issue rather than a localized clog. Our camera scope after clearing confirms whether the blockage was isolated or a sign of downstream restriction.
A documented preventive cleaning program creates a camera record of pipe condition over time โ useful for catching structural deterioration before it causes an emergency and for insurance or real estate disclosure purposes.
A standalone camera inspection documents drain system condition for pre-purchase due diligence, insurance claims, or understanding why a drain is performing poorly before committing to a repair approach. We run the camera, record footage with distance markers, and provide a written scope report noting blockage types, root intrusion points, joint offsets, and any visible structural defects.
We don't show up and start snaking blind. Our camera-first protocol confirms what we're clearing before selecting the method โ saving you money and preventing repeat calls.
Your description lets us arrive with the right tools. One slow drain vs. multiple backed-up fixtures is a different setup.
Camera footage confirms distance to the blockage and pipe diameter โ both critical for selecting the right clearing method and nozzle size.
If the camera reveals a structural problem requiring repair rather than just clearing, we tell you now rather than charging for a clearing that won't last.
After clearing, we run the camera again to confirm the pipe is open to full diameter. You get a written service summary and our drain clearing warranty before we leave.

Called about a kitchen drain three other plumbers had snaked without lasting results. Masters Plumbing Service ran a camera first and found grease buildup 28 feet in โ past where any hand snake reaches. Hydro-jetted it, re-scoped to confirm clean, and the drain has run perfectly ever since.
All three bathrooms drained slowly and the downstairs toilet gurgled every time an upstairs fixture ran. Masters Plumbing Service's tech accessed the main cleanout, ran the camera, and found root intrusion at a clay tile joint 40 feet out. Root cutter cleared the mass, re-scope confirmed full diameter, and he noted a joint offset at 68 feet we should watch. Very transparent process from start to finish.
Pre-purchase sewer scope on a home we were buying. Tech ran every drain and the main with the camera and provided a written report with timestamps. Found a small bellied section in the main line โ the seller agreed to repair before closing. Saved us thousands.
