Masters Plumbing Service's drain techs in Ada, MN 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.

What Separates Professional Drain Cleaning from a $10 Drain Snake

Every drain call we run in Ada, MN 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 at 4,000 PSI

Our truck-mounted hydro-jetting units propel water at up to 4,000 PSI through a rotating nozzle that scours pipe walls clean — removing grease buildup, scale, and soft root intrusions in a single pass. Unlike augers, jetting leaves the pipe interior clean rather than just piercing a hole through the clog.

📷

CCTV Pipeline Camera Inspection

A camera inspection saves you money by showing us exactly what we're dealing with. It also protects you from paying to clear a blockage that's actually hiding a structural pipe failure that will recur immediately.

🏠

Full Drain System Coverage

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.

📋

Documented Results, Written Quote

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.

What Our Drain Team Clears and Inspects

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

Kitchen Drain & Grease Trap Clearing

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.

Bathroom

Shower, Tub & Bathroom Sink Drains

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.

Main Line

Main Sewer Line Clearing

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.

Floor Drains

Floor & Laundry Drain Service

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.

Preventive

Hydro-Jet Maintenance Cleaning

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.

Diagnosis

Drain Camera Inspection & Scope Report

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.

From Slow Drain to Clear Pipe in 4 Steps

We don't show up and start snaking blind. Our approach uses a camera-first diagnostic protocol to confirm what we're clearing before selecting the method.

1

Call & Describe the Issue

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.

2

Camera Diagnosis First

The camera also gives us the distance to the blockage and confirms the pipe diameter — both factors in selecting the right clearing method and nozzle size.

3

Flat-Rate Quote & Method Selection

Based on the camera findings, we present you with a flat-rate quote and explain exactly which method we're using — electric auger, hydro-jet, root cutter — and why. No work begins until you approve.

4

Clear, Re-Scope, & Document

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.

Drain Calls Masters Plumbing Service Got Right in Ada, MN

★★★★★

Called about a kitchen drain that three other plumbers had snaked without long-term success. Masters Plumbing Service ran a camera first and found grease buildup 28 feet in, past where any hand snake reaches. Hydro-jetted it, re-scoped to confirm clean, and the drain has run perfectly in the months since.

— T. Hartley, Ada
★★★★★

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.

— R. Castillo, Ada, MN
★★★★★

We own a rental property and schedule annual hydro-jet maintenance with Masters Plumbing Service. The jetting intervals have gotten the drain-related tenant calls down to nearly zero. The camera documentation each year also gives us a clear record of pipe condition over time.

Drain Questions We Hear Most in Ada

A cable snake (auger) bores through a blockage and retrieves it or pushes it forward. It's effective on solid obstructions like hair mats and hardened grease plugs. Hydro-jetting propels high-pressure water through a rotating nozzle that scours the pipe wall 360 degrees — it removes the material that caused the blockage from the pipe surface entirely. For chronic grease drains or root-prone sewer lines, jetting produces a significantly longer interval between service calls.
The key indicator is which fixtures are affected. A single clogged drain — one slow sink or one backed-up tub — points to a localized obstruction in that fixture's drain arm or p-trap. When multiple fixtures are slow or backing up simultaneously, or when you hear gurgling in one fixture while running another, the blockage is almost always in the shared main line downstream of where all those fixtures connect.
The bigger problem is that chemical drain cleaners are ineffective against most of what actually causes chronic drain problems: root intrusion, grease accumulation deep in the line, and structural issues. They dissolve what they can reach from the opening and do nothing for a 30-foot grease buildup. For any drain that's been treated repeatedly with chemicals with short-term results, a camera scope and professional clearing is the right next step.
A single drain clearing with camera inspection typically takes 45–75 minutes depending on the access point, pipe configuration, and blockage type. A main sewer line clearing with CCTV scope before and after runs 1–2 hours. Hydro-jetting a commercial kitchen grease trap system can take 2–3 hours for a thorough clean and documentation.
For most residential homes in Ada, MN, a main sewer line camera inspection every 2–3 years is sufficient if you've had no problems. Homes with older clay tile or cast iron sewer lines in areas with active tree root growth benefit from annual root cutting and inspection. Commercial kitchens typically need grease trap and drain line cleaning every 6–12 months to maintain proper flow and meet health code.
For clay tile sewer lines, we select jetting pressures and nozzle types appropriate for the pipe condition we see on camera. Our goal is to clear the line without creating additional damage, and to give you an honest assessment of the pipe's overall condition and remaining service life.
