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 Johnstown 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.
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.
Whether it's one slow bathroom sink or a full house main-line stoppage, the right equipment is on our truck and the licensed tech dispatched in Johnstown knows which to use.
Before-and-after camera footage is available for main line work. Insurance claims and real estate disclosures often require this documentation โ we provide it as a standard part of camera-scope jobs.
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.

Hair and soap scum bond to pipe walls inside the p-trap and drain arm, forming a mat that progressively constricts flow until drainage stops entirely. Our techs remove the drain cover, clear the p-trap obstruction with a hand snake or drum auger, and flush the line to confirm full flow.
When multiple fixtures drain slowly or back up simultaneously, the blockage is in the main sewer line โ the 4โ6 inch pipe carrying all household waste to the municipal main or septic system. We access through the cleanout, run a CCTV camera to identify blockage type, then clear with a sectional cable machine or hydro-jetter depending on findings.
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 Johnstown's climate.
Restaurants, multi-family buildings, and homes with chronic grease or root problems benefit from scheduled hydro-jet maintenance on a 12โ24 month cycle. We map the drain system, document baseline camera footage, jet the lines, and re-scope to confirm clean pipe walls โ preventing emergency backups rather than reacting to them.
Pre-purchase sewer scope reports in Johnstown are accepted by real estate attorneys, buyers' agents, and home inspectors as documented evidence of drain system condition.

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.
