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 Hampton arrives with professional-grade augers and hydro-jetting units that actually resolve the blockage.

Every drain call we run in Hampton, VA 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.
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.
We clear kitchen drains, bathroom sink and shower drains, floor drains, laundry drains, and main sewer lines. Our equipment scales from a 1/2" kitchen drain line to a 6" commercial main — same certified technician, same professional-grade tools.
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 Hampton, VA have the equipment and training to clear 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 Hampton's climate.
A preventive jetting program documented over multiple visits gives you both clean pipes and a camera record of pipe condition over time — useful for catching structural deterioration before it causes an emergency.
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.
Here's exactly how a Masters Plumbing Service drain call plays out in Hampton, VA — from dispatch to documented clear.
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.
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.
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.
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.

My kitchen drain had been running slow for months and completely stopped 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 behind the wall. The jetter cleared it in about 20 minutes. The footage before and after was dramatic — I could actually see the pipe walls go from coated to clean. No recurrence four months later.
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.
