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 Chatsworth drain crew uses professional-grade augers, hydro-jetters, and CCTV cameras to resolve blockages at their source.

Retail drain products treat symptoms. Our approach identifies what type of blockage you're dealing with โ because the method that clears a grease plug efficiently is different from the one that handles root intrusion.
CCTV inspection before clearing saves money: we don't jet a line that has a structural failure the jetting won't fix, and we don't snake a line when the blockage requires a jetter to actually clear pipe walls.
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 Chatsworth 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 โ 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 โ with the specific tools and techniques that actually resolve it.
Grease blockages typically form 10โ40 feet from the drain opening, past the p-trap, where the pipe cools and FOG re-solidifies. Our jetting equipment reaches and clears these deposits where a plunger or retail product simply cannot.

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.
A documented preventive cleaning program creates a camera record of pipe condition over time โ useful for catching structural deterioration before it causes an emergency and for insurance or real estate disclosure purposes.
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 Chatsworth, IL.
Your description lets us arrive with the right tools. One slow drain vs. multiple backed-up fixtures is a different setup.
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 โ cable, jet, or root cutter โ 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 โ useful for future maintenance planning or insurance.

My kitchen drain had been running slow for months and stopped entirely 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 past the wall. The jetter cleared it in 20 minutes. The before-and-after footage was remarkable โ I could see the pipe walls go from coated to clean. No recurrence four months later.
All three bathrooms drained slowly and the downstairs toilet gurgled every time an upstairs fixture ran. Masters Plumbing Service's tech accessed the main cleanout, ran the camera, and found root intrusion at a clay tile joint 40 feet out. Root cutter cleared the mass, re-scope confirmed full diameter, and he noted a joint offset at 68 feet we should watch. Very transparent process from start to finish.
We own a rental property and schedule annual hydro-jet maintenance with Masters Plumbing Service. The jetting intervals have brought drain-related tenant calls down to nearly zero. The camera documentation each year also gives us a clear picture of pipe condition over time โ we caught a developing joint offset early and addressed it before it became an emergency.
