A slow drain is a warning. By the time it's a complete blockage, you're losing use of your kitchen, bathroom, or laundry room entirely. Masters Plumbing Service's drain techs in Parlier, CA 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.

Every drain call we run in Parlier, CA 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.
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.
Before recommending any clearing method, we run a push-rod camera into the drain to visually confirm blockage type and location. Grease accumulation 30 feet in looks different from a root ball at a joint or a collapsed section — and each requires a different response.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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 drain traps can dry out and allow sewer gas into the structure if the drain isn't used regularly. We clear blockages, re-water the trap, and can install a trap primer if the drain is prone to drying in Parlier's climate.
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.
Our inspection reports are accepted by real estate attorneys, home buyers, and insurers as documented evidence of drain system condition. If you're buying or selling a home in Parlier, a pre-purchase drain scope is one of the best $300 you can spend.
Here's exactly how a Masters Plumbing Service drain call plays out in Parlier, CA — from dispatch to documented clear.
Your description lets us load the right equipment before we leave the shop. Main line call vs. single kitchen drain is a different tool setup — knowing ahead saves time on site.
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.
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.
If anything was found during the camera run that warrants monitoring or repair, it's noted in the written report so you have a record — useful for planning future maintenance or a repair conversation.

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.
All three bathrooms drained slowly and the lowest floor toilet gurgled every time an upstairs fixture ran — classic main line partial blockage. Masters Plumbing Service's tech accessed the cleanout, ran the camera, and found root intrusion at a clay tile joint about 40 feet from the house. He cut the roots with the root cutter attachment and re-scoped to confirm clear flow. Also noted a joint offset at 68 feet that we'll need to line eventually — good to know before it becomes a full backup.
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.
