Store-bought drain chemicals dissolve soap and light grease. They do nothing for root intrusion 40 feet in, grease buildup past the p-trap, or a collapsed pipe segment masquerading as a clog. Masters Plumbing Service's drain techs in Coeur d'Alene arrive with hydro-jetting equipment rated to 4,000 PSI and a CCTV push-rod camera to locate, clear, and document the obstruction β not temporarily push it deeper.

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.
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.
Our truck-mounted jetting units propel water at up to 4,000 PSI through a rotating nozzle that scours pipe walls clean β removing grease buildup, scale, and soft root intrusions that a cable auger simply punches through and leaves.
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.
Every drain call includes a written service report noting blockage type, location, method used, and any structural observations from the camera run. You know the state of your drain system β not just that the water is flowing again.
From a slow bathroom sink to a main line stoppage affecting every fixture in the house, our Coeur d'Alene drain techs have the equipment and training to clear 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.

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.
When multiple fixtures drain slowly or back up simultaneously, the blockage is in the main sewer line β the 4β6 inch pipe carrying all household waste to the municipal main or septic system. We access through the cleanout, run a CCTV camera to identify blockage type, then clear with a sectional cable machine or hydro-jetter depending on findings.
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 Coeur d'Alene's climate.
A documented preventive cleaning program creates a camera record of pipe condition over time β 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.
We don't show up and start snaking blind. Our camera-first protocol confirms what we're clearing before selecting the method β saving you money and preventing repeat calls.
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 β cable, jet, or root cutter β and why. No work begins without your approval.
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.
Main line backed up on a Sunday. Masters Plumbing Service came within 2 hours, camera found a 3-inch grease plug combined with roots at a joint, cleared both with cable and jetter, and sent me the scope video. Exactly the transparency I wanted.
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 β we caught a developing joint offset early and addressed it before it became an emergency.
