A slow drain is a warning. By the time it's a complete blockage, you've lost use of your kitchen, bathroom, or laundry room entirely. Masters Plumbing Service's Hammond drain crew uses professional-grade augers, hydro-jetters, and CCTV cameras to resolve blockages at their source.

Every drain call we run in Hammond, IN 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 β and each needs a different response.
Hydro-jetting is the only method that restores full pipe diameter. A cable clears the blockage; a jetter removes the material that caused the blockage from the pipe wall entirely.
Whether it's one slow bathroom sink or a full house main-line stoppage, the right equipment is on our truck and the licensed tech dispatched in Hammond knows which to use.
Before-and-after camera footage is available for main line work. Insurance claims and real estate disclosures often require this documentation β we provide it as a standard part of camera-scope jobs.
Not every blocked drain is the same problem. Here's how our team approaches each type β with the specific tools and techniques that actually resolve it.
Kitchen drains accumulate FOG β fats, oils, and grease β 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 12β24 month cycle. We map the drain system, document baseline camera footage, jet the lines, and re-scope to confirm clean pipe walls β preventing emergency backups rather than reacting to them.
A standalone camera inspection documents drain system condition for pre-purchase due diligence, insurance claims, or understanding why a drain is performing poorly before committing to a repair approach. We run the camera, record footage with distance markers, and provide a written scope report noting blockage types, root intrusion points, joint offsets, and any visible structural defects.
Here's exactly how a Masters Plumbing Service drain call plays out in Hammond, IN.
Which fixtures are affected tells us whether we're likely dealing with a localized clog or a main line blockage β and what equipment to load before leaving.
Before clearing anything, we run the CCTV camera to see blockage type, location, and pipe condition. This prevents treating a structural pipe failure with a jetting pass that won't hold.
Based on camera findings, you receive a flat-rate quote and an explanation of which method we're using β cable, jet, or root cutter β and why. No work begins without your approval.
Before-and-after footage is available on request for main line work. Your service report documents everything found β useful for future maintenance planning or insurance.
