Store-bought drain cleaners dissolve soap and light grease. They do nothing for root intrusion, grease buildup 40 feet in, or a collapsed pipe segment. Masters Plumbing Service's Drain Cleaning team in Fredericktown arrives with professional-grade augers and hydro-jetting units that actually resolve the blockage.

Retail drain products and inexperienced plumbers share one problem: they treat the symptom, not the cause. Our approach combines the right equipment with the right diagnostic process.
Hydro-jetting is the only method that restores full pipe diameter. A cable auger punches through a blockage; a jetter removes the blockage material from the pipe wall entirely, significantly extending the interval before the next cleaning is needed.
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.
From a slow bathroom sink to a full main-line stoppage affecting every fixture in the house, our drain techs in Fredericktown, MO have the equipment and training to clear it.
Grease blockages in kitchen drain lines often occur 10–40 feet from the drain opening, past the p-trap, where the line cools and FOG solidifies. Our jetting equipment reaches and clears these deposits where a plunger or retail product cannot.
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 Fredericktown'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.
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.
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.
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.
Before clearing anything, we run a CCTV camera into the line to see blockage type, location, and pipe condition. This prevents treating a structural pipe failure with a jetting pass that won't hold.
If the camera reveals a structural problem that will require repair rather than just clearing, we tell you that now rather than letting you pay for a clearing that won't last.
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.

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.
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.
Had a pre-purchase drain scope done on a home we were buying. Masters Plumbing Service's tech ran every accessible drain and the main sewer line with the camera, gave us a written report with timestamps and footage. Found a small bellied section in the main line that the seller agreed to repair before closing. Worth every penny for the negotiating power alone.
