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 Summit, UT use hydro-jetting equipment rated to 4,000 PSI and CCTV pipeline cameras to locate, clear, and document the obstruction — not just temporarily push it further down the line.

Every drain call we run in Summit, UT starts with identifying what type of blockage you're dealing with — 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 — 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.
We photograph or record camera footage of the drain before and after clearing so you can see exactly what was there and that it's gone. Every job comes with a flat-rate quote before any work begins — no hourly-rate surprises.
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 drains accumulate FOG — fats, oils, and grease — that solidifies on pipe walls and progressively narrows the line. We use a combination of a cable auger to break the initial plug and a hot-water hydro-jet pass to scour the residual grease film. For commercial kitchens, we also service grease interceptors and document cleaning for inspection 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.
When multiple fixtures are draining slowly or backing up simultaneously, the blockage is typically in the main sewer line — the 4" or 6" pipe that carries all household waste to the municipal main or septic system. We access the main line through the cleanout, run a CCTV camera to identify the obstruction type, then clear with a sectional cable machine or hydro-jetter depending on what we find.
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.
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.
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 Summit, UT — from dispatch to documented clear.
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.
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 — useful for planning future maintenance or a repair conversation.

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 — I could actually see the pipe walls go from coated to clean. No recurrence four months later.
All three bathrooms drained slowly and the lowest floor toilet gurgled every time an upstairs fixture ran — 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 — good to know before it becomes a full backup.
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.
