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

Why Choose Masters Plumbing Service

The Masters Plumbing Service Drain Cleaning Approach in Urbandale

Every drain call we run in Urbandale, IA starts with understanding the blockage before selecting the method. Here's what that difference looks like.

📷

Camera-First Protocol

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 at 4,000 PSI

Our truck-mounted 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 that a cable auger simply punches through and leaves.

🏠

All Drain System Sizes

We clear kitchen drains, bathroom sink and shower drains, floor drains, laundry drains, and 4–6 inch main sewer lines. Our nozzle set and cable sizes scale from a 1.5-inch drain arm to a 6-inch commercial main.

📋

Documented Results

Before-and-after camera footage is available for main line work. Insurance claims and real estate disclosures often require this documentation — we provide it as a standard part of camera-scope jobs.

Drain Problems We Diagnose and Clear in Urbandale

From a slow bathroom sink to a main line stoppage affecting every fixture in the house, our Urbandale drain techs have the equipment and training to clear it.

Kitchen

FOG Removal from Kitchen Drain Lines

Grease blockages typically form 10–40 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.

Bathroom

Shower, Tub & Bathroom Sink Drains

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.

Main Line

Main Sewer Line Clearing in Urbandale, IA

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.

Floor & Laundry

Basement and Utility Room Drain Clearing

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 — we re-water the trap and can install a trap primer if the drain is prone to drying in Urbandale's climate.

Preventive

Scheduled Drain Maintenance in Urbandale, IA

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 — preventing emergency backups rather than reacting to them.

Inspection

CCTV Pipeline Inspection in Urbandale

Pre-purchase sewer scope reports in Urbandale are accepted by real estate attorneys, buyers' agents, and home inspectors as documented evidence of drain system condition.

How It Works

From Slow Drain to Clear Pipe in 4 Steps

We don't show up and start snaking blind. Our camera-first protocol confirms what we're clearing before selecting the method — saving you money and preventing repeat calls.

Call & Describe the Issue

Your description lets us arrive with the right tools. One slow drain vs. multiple backed-up fixtures is a different setup.

Camera Diagnosis First

Before clearing anything, we run the CCTV camera to see blockage type, location, and pipe condition. This prevents treating a structural pipe failure with a jetting pass that won't hold.

Flat-Rate Quote & Method Selection

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.

Clear, Re-Scope, Document

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.

Customer Reviews

What Customers Say About Our Drain Work in Urbandale, IA

★★★★★

Called about a kitchen drain three other plumbers had snaked without lasting results. 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 ever since.

★★★★★

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.

★★★★★

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 — the seller agreed to repair before closing. Saved us thousands.

FAQ

Drain Questions We Answer in Urbandale

Snaking is the right first tool for many clogs. Jetting is right when a drain has chronic recurrence, when the camera shows significant buildup on pipe walls, or when the drain serves a commercial kitchen. We recommend based on what the camera actually shows.

The key indicator is which fixtures are affected. A single slow drain — one sink, one tub — points to a localized clog in that fixture's drain arm or p-trap. When multiple fixtures are slow or backing up simultaneously, or when you hear gurgling in one fixture while running another, the blockage is almost always in the shared main line downstream.

Concentrated chemical drain openers — particularly lye-based products — can soften PVC over time with repeated use and are particularly harsh on older metal pipes with existing corrosion. They also generate heat in the pipe that can soften certain plastic fittings.

We don't rush through the post-clearing camera check. That re-scope is what confirms the job is actually done — not just that flow improved temporarily.

Yes — and older pipe materials require more care during clearing to avoid damaging already-fragile joints or sections. The camera-first approach is essential here: if there's a collapsed section or severely deteriorated joint, we identify it before running equipment that could worsen the damage.

If you've had a main line backup in the past, we recommend a camera scope 6 months after clearing to assess whether root growth or grease accumulation is recurring at a rate that warrants more frequent service.
