Store-bought drain chemicals dissolve soap and light grease. They do nothing for root intrusion 40 feet in, grease buildup past the p-trap, or a collapsed pipe segment masquerading as a clog. Masters Plumbing Service's drain techs in Lake View arrive with hydro-jetting equipment rated to 4,000 PSI and a CCTV push-rod camera to locate, clear, and document the obstruction โ not temporarily push it deeper.

Every drain call we run in Lake View, SC 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.
Before-and-after camera footage is available for main line work. Insurance claims and real estate disclosures often require this documentation โ we provide it as a standard part of camera-scope jobs.
From a slow bathroom sink to a main line stoppage affecting every fixture in the house, our Lake View drain techs have the equipment and training to clear 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.

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 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.
Restaurants, multi-family buildings, and homes with chronic grease or root problems benefit from scheduled hydro-jet maintenance on a 12โ24 month cycle. We map the drain system, document baseline camera footage, jet the lines, and re-scope to confirm clean pipe walls โ preventing emergency backups rather than reacting to them.
Pre-purchase sewer scope reports in Lake View are accepted by real estate attorneys, buyers' agents, and home inspectors as documented evidence of drain system condition.

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.
Main line backed up on a Sunday. Masters Plumbing Service came within 2 hours, camera found a 3-inch grease plug combined with roots at a joint, cleared both with cable and jetter, and sent me the scope video. Exactly the transparency I wanted.
