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 Gilmer drain crew uses professional-grade augers, hydro-jetters, and CCTV cameras to resolve blockages at their source.

Every drain call we run in Gilmer, TX starts with understanding the blockage before selecting the method. Here's what that difference looks like.
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 โ 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 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.
Not every blocked drain is the same problem. Here's how our team approaches each type โ with the specific tools and techniques that actually resolve it.
Grease blockages typically form 10โ40 feet from the drain opening, past the p-trap, where the pipe cools and FOG re-solidifies. Our jetting equipment reaches and clears these deposits where a plunger or retail product simply cannot.

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.
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 โ we re-water the trap and can install a trap primer if the drain is prone to drying in Gilmer's climate.
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 Gilmer 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 Gilmer, TX.
Which fixtures are affected tells us whether we're likely dealing with a localized clog or a main line blockage โ and what equipment to load before leaving.
Camera footage confirms distance to the blockage and pipe diameter โ both critical for selecting the right clearing method and nozzle size.
Based on camera findings, you receive a flat-rate quote and an explanation of which method we're using โ cable, jet, or root cutter โ 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.

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.
All three bathrooms drained slowly and the downstairs toilet gurgled every time an upstairs fixture ran. Masters Plumbing Service's tech accessed the main cleanout, ran the camera, and found root intrusion at a clay tile joint 40 feet out. Root cutter cleared the mass, re-scope confirmed full diameter, and he noted a joint offset at 68 feet we should watch. Very transparent process from start to finish.
Pre-purchase sewer scope on a home we were buying. Tech ran every drain and the main with the camera and provided a written report with timestamps. Found a small bellied section in the main line โ the seller agreed to repair before closing. Saved us thousands.
