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 Violet, LA 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.

Every drain call we run in Violet, LA starts with identifying what type of blockage you're dealing with β because the method that clears a grease blockage efficiently is different from the one that handles root intrusion.
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.
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.
Floor drain traps can dry out and allow sewer gas into the structure if the drain isn't used regularly. We clear blockages, re-water the trap, and can install a trap primer if the drain is prone to drying in Violet's climate.
Restaurants, multi-family buildings, and homes with chronic grease or root problems benefit from scheduled hydro-jet maintenance on a 12β24 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.
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.
Here's exactly how a Masters Plumbing Service drain call plays out in Violet, LA β from dispatch to documented clear.
Your description lets us load the right equipment before we leave the shop. Main line call vs. single kitchen drain is a different tool setup β knowing ahead saves time on site.
The camera also gives us the distance to the blockage and confirms the pipe diameter β both factors in selecting the right clearing method and nozzle size.
Based on the camera findings, we present you with a flat-rate quote and explain exactly which method we're using β electric auger, hydro-jet, root cutter β and why. No work begins until you approve.
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.

My kitchen drain had been running slow for months and completely stopped the night before Thanksgiving. Masters Plumbing Service had a tech out same morning, ran the camera, and found a 15-foot grease accumulation in the drain arm behind the wall. The jetter cleared it in about 20 minutes. The footage before and after was dramatic β I could actually see the pipe walls go from coated to clean. No recurrence four months later.
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.
