Why Masters Plumbing Service for Drains

What Separates Professional Drain Cleaning from a $10 Drain Snake

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.

💧

Hydro-Jetting at 4,000 PSI

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.

📷

CCTV Pipeline Camera Inspection

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.

🏠

Full Drain System Coverage

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.

📋

Documented Results, Written Quote

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.

Our Drain Services

What Our Drain Team Clears and Inspects

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.

Kitchen

Kitchen Drain & Grease Trap Clearing

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.

Bathroom

Shower, Tub & Bathroom Sink Drains

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.

Main Line

Main Sewer Line Clearing

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.

Floor Drains

Floor & Laundry Drain Service

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.

Preventive

Hydro-Jet Maintenance Cleaning

Restaurants, multi-family buildings, and homes with chronic grease or root problems benefit from scheduled hydro-jet maintenance on a 12–24 month cycle. We map the drain system, document baseline camera footage, jet the lines, and re-scope to confirm clean pipe walls. This approach prevents emergency backups rather than reacting to them.

Diagnosis

Drain Camera Inspection & Scope Report

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.

How It Works

From Slow Drain to Clear Pipe in 4 Steps

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.

Call & Describe the Issue

Tell our dispatcher which fixtures are affected — 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.

Camera Diagnosis First

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.

Flat-Rate Quote & Method Selection

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.

Clear, Re-Scope, & Document

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.

What Customers Say

Drain Calls Masters Plumbing Service Got Right in Gary, IN

★★★★★

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.

— T. Hartley, Gary

★★★★★

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.

— R. Castillo, Gary, IN

★★★★★

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.

Common Questions

What to Know Before Booking Drain Service

Snaking is the right first tool for many clogs — it's faster and less expensive for simple blockages. Jetting is the right tool when a drain has chronic recurrence problems, when the camera shows significant buildup on pipe walls, or when the drain serves a commercial kitchen. We recommend the appropriate method based on what we actually see in the camera, not on which service costs more.

Other signs of a main line issue: water backs up in the lowest fixture in the house when you flush a toilet or run a washing machine; you see water coming up through a floor drain or basement toilet when using upstairs fixtures. If you're seeing any of these, stop using drains and call us — continued use can cause sewage to back up through floor drains.

The bigger problem is that chemical drain cleaners are ineffective against most of what actually causes chronic drain problems: root intrusion, grease accumulation deep in the line, and structural issues. They dissolve what they can reach from the opening and do nothing for a 30-foot grease buildup. For any drain that's been treated repeatedly with chemicals with short-term results, a camera scope and professional clearing is the right next step.

These are realistic estimates — we don't rush through drain clearing and shortcut the post-clearing camera check. The re-scope after clearing is what confirms the job is actually done.

For most residential homes in Gary, IN, a main sewer line camera inspection every 2–3 years is sufficient if you've had no problems. Homes with older clay tile or cast iron sewer lines in areas with active tree root growth benefit from annual root cutting and inspection. Commercial kitchens typically need grease trap and drain line cleaning every 6–12 months to maintain proper flow and meet health code.

For clay tile sewer lines, we select jetting pressures and nozzle types appropriate for the pipe condition we see on camera. Our goal is to clear the line without creating additional damage, and to give you an honest assessment of the pipe's overall condition and remaining service life.
