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

Every drain call we run in Olin, NC 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.
Hydro-jetting is the only method that restores full pipe diameter. A cable auger punches through a blockage; a jetter removes the blockage material from the pipe wall entirely, significantly extending the interval before the next cleaning is needed.
Before recommending any clearing method, we run a push-rod camera into the drain to visually confirm blockage type and location. Grease accumulation 30 feet in looks different from a root ball at a joint or a collapsed section — and each requires a different response.
Whether it's a backed-up bathroom sink or a full house sewer drain stoppage, our team carries the right nozzle sizes and cable diameters for the specific pipe we're clearing.
Our written service report notes the blockage type, location, method used, and any structural observations from the camera run. You walk away knowing the state of your drain system, not just that the water is flowing again.
From a slow bathroom sink to a full main-line stoppage affecting every fixture in the house, our drain techs in Olin, NC 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.
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 attachment on the sectional cable removes the root mass; we then scope again to confirm the line is clear before pulling equipment.
Basement floor drains and laundry room drains often go years without cleaning and can develop sediment, lint, and mineral scale blockages. We clear these drains with an electric snake and flush thoroughly to confirm full flow before closing out the job.
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. This approach prevents emergency backups rather than reacting to them.
Our inspection reports are accepted by real estate attorneys, home buyers, and insurers as documented evidence of drain system condition. If you're buying or selling a home in Olin, a pre-purchase drain scope is one of the best $300 you can spend.
Here's exactly how a Masters Plumbing Service drain call plays out in Olin, NC — from dispatch to documented clear.
Your description lets us load the right equipment before we leave the shop. Main line call vs. single kitchen drain is a different tool setup — knowing ahead saves time on site.
The camera also gives us the distance to the blockage and confirms the pipe diameter — both factors in selecting the right clearing method and nozzle size.
If the camera reveals a structural problem that will require repair rather than just clearing, we tell you that now rather than letting you pay for a clearing that won't last.
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.
