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 Granite Bay 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 β because the method that clears a grease plug efficiently is different from the one that handles root intrusion.
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.
We clear kitchen drains, bathroom sink and shower drains, floor drains, laundry drains, and 4β6 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 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.
Grease blockages typically form 10β40 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.

Hair and soap scum bond to pipe walls inside the p-trap and drain arm, forming a mat that progressively constricts flow until drainage stops entirely. Our techs remove the drain cover, clear the p-trap obstruction with a hand snake or drum auger, and flush the line to confirm full flow.
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.
Basement floor drains and laundry room drains often go years without service and develop sediment, lint, and mineral scale blockages. We clear with an electric snake and flush thoroughly. Floor drain traps can also dry out and allow sewer gas into the structure β we re-water the trap and can install a trap primer if the drain is prone to drying in Granite Bay'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 β preventing emergency backups rather than reacting to them.
Pre-purchase sewer scope reports in Granite Bay are accepted by real estate attorneys, buyers' agents, and home inspectors as documented evidence of drain system condition.
Here's exactly how a Masters Plumbing Service drain call plays out in Granite Bay, CA.
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.
Camera footage confirms distance to the blockage and pipe diameter β both critical for selecting the right clearing method and nozzle size.
If the camera reveals a structural problem requiring repair rather than just clearing, we tell you now rather than charging for a clearing that won't last.
After clearing, we run the camera again to confirm the pipe is open to full diameter. You get a written service summary and our drain clearing warranty before we leave.

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 β past where any hand snake reaches. Hydro-jetted it, re-scoped to confirm clean, and the drain has run perfectly ever since.
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.
Pre-purchase sewer scope on a home we were buying. Tech ran every drain and the main with the camera and provided a written report with timestamps. Found a small bellied section in the main line β the seller agreed to repair before closing. Saved us thousands.
