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 Rio, WI 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.
Whether it's a backed-up bathroom sink or a full house sewer drain stoppage, our team carries the right nozzle sizes and cable diameters for the specific pipe we're clearing.
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.
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 β useful for catching structural deterioration before it causes an emergency.
Our inspection reports are accepted by real estate attorneys, home buyers, and insurers as documented evidence of drain system condition. If you're buying or selling a home in Rio, a pre-purchase drain scope is one of the best $300 you can spend.
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.
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 β 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 β 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 β good to know before it becomes a full backup.
