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 Island Lake 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 โ 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.
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 4โ6 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 โ 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 Island Lake drain techs have the equipment and training to clear it.
Kitchen drains accumulate FOG โ fats, oils, and grease โ 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.

Chronic slow bathroom drains often point to a partially closed p-trap, a buildup on the overflow plate mechanism, or a drain arm pitched incorrectly. We clear the immediate clog and identify if a mechanical fix is needed to prevent fast recurrence.
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.
Utility room floor drain blockages sometimes indicate a slow-developing main line issue rather than a localized clog. Our camera scope after clearing confirms whether the blockage was isolated or a sign of downstream restriction.
A documented preventive cleaning program creates a camera record of pipe condition over time โ useful for catching structural deterioration before it causes an emergency and for insurance or real estate disclosure purposes.
Pre-purchase sewer scope reports in Island Lake 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 Island Lake, IL.
Your description lets us arrive with the right tools. One slow drain vs. multiple backed-up fixtures is a different setup.
Camera footage confirms distance to the blockage and pipe diameter โ 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.
Before-and-after footage is available on request for main line work. Your service report documents everything found โ useful for future maintenance planning or insurance.

My kitchen drain had been running slow for months and stopped entirely the night before Thanksgiving. Masters Plumbing Service had a tech out same morning, ran the camera, and found a 15-foot grease accumulation in the drain arm past the wall. The jetter cleared it in 20 minutes. The before-and-after footage was remarkable โ I could see the pipe walls go from coated to clean. No recurrence four months later.
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 โ we caught a developing joint offset early and addressed it before it became an emergency.
