Efficient Drain-Scoping and Jetting Services

Stop guessing what is causing your slow drains or recurring backups. In the Pacific Northwest, root intrusion and debris buildup are inevitable over time, and a thorough drain cleaning is necessary. Drainage Masters LLC provides precision drain-scoping and jetting services to identify the exact location of a blockage and clear it completely without digging up your yard.

Whether you are in a historic home, a new build, a commercial property or an apartment block, our noninvasive approach can restore your pipes’ capacity, helping prevent expensive emergency excavations down the road. We provide scoping services for both rainwater drainage systems and sewer systems.

Signs Your Rain Drain System Needs Professional Attention

The Pacific Northwest is known for its rainy weather and abundance of trees. This combination means that clogs and root intrusions in rain drain piping are quite common. If a tree root is the issue, our scoping will help us isolate the intrusion for a small repair, or jet through the clog. This cost-saving service can help prevent full line replacement, and gives you peace of mind when it comes to your drain system.

Getting your rain drain system scoped will also help you better understand its functionality and where the water ends up, such as a dry well, a combined sewer, the street system or a bio-retention swale. If you are experiencing the following symptoms, it’s time to call in a professional:

• Recurring backups: If you have snaked your drain multiple times and the clog keeps returning, you likely have a deeper issue, such as root intrusion or a break that scoping can identify and isolate.
• Downspout overflow: If you notice your downspouts overflowing from the rain drain piping, there is likely a clog or a root intrusion preventing water from flowing through.
• Water Intrusion: Water intruding into basements or crawlspaces is often caused by the rain drain system. It could be from a backup somewhere in the system or a pipe against the foundation leaking water.

Signs Your Sewer System Needs Professional Attention

For real estate transactions, especially on older properties, sewer line scoping services can help avoid unexpected repairs for the buyer or seller. If you notice the following symptoms, call a professional:

• Unpleasant odors: Persistent sewer gas smells inside or outside the home often indicate a blockage or a line breach.
• Gurgling noises: Hearing your toilet or sink gurgle when other appliances are running is a classic symptom of trapped air caused by a blocked main line.
• Lush patches in yard: Unusually green or soggy patches of grass during dry months can signal a leaking sewer line that needs immediate drain camera inspection.

Our Process of Diagnosis and Cleaning

To identify and clear blockages, we use the following process:

1. Scope: We insert a high-definition camera to inspect the line visually. This camera allows us to see precisely the problem, whether it’s from grease, roots or collapse and where it is located.
2. Jet: Once diagnosed, we use drain-cleaning and jetting technology. Our high-pressure water jets scour the pipe walls 360 degrees, cutting through tree roots and washing away years of grease buildup.
3. Verify: We re-scope the line after jetting to prove the blockage is gone and ensure the structural integrity of your pipes is intact.
