Drain Cleaning Services in Columbia, MO and
all of Mid-Missouri

Slow or clogged drains can be a sign of a more serious issue. It’s important to have great water quality. Hard water creates build up that can snag other debris (hair, grease, organic material) causing a clog. Many people believe it is okay to use a caustic liquid to clear these drains. It’s really not a good idea. Those retail drain cleaners can damage your pipes, leading to leaks and significant damage to your walls, floors and other areas of your home. The proper solution is professional drain cleaning from MasterTech Plumbing, Heating and Cooling.

Most people think of drains as those things found in the kitchen sink, bathtub/shower, bathroom sink, washing machine, etc. Those drains flow into the main sewer line. This line is often accessible via a floor drain, which you might recognize because it is a big hole covered by a lid with many holes in it. Most often this floor drain is near your water heater and/or HVAC system to allow those units to drain into it.

Your garbage disposal also ultimately flows into the main sewer line. Putting food scraps down your garbage disposal can lead to grease build-up in your pipes, which can ultimately lead to a major blockage. It’s best to scrape off and wipe out bowls into a garbage can before rinsing them in your sink. If your disposal becomes jammed or causes a blockage, it’s time for professional drain cleaning.

Never pour liquid cooking oil from a fryer or grease from a skillet down your drain. Once it solidifies, you’ll end up with a plugged sink drain that will need professional help to clear & clean it out. It could also be a significant contributor to a blocked sewer line, and trust us, you don’t want that to happen!

If your sewer line gets clogged, it can create all kinds of disgusting, and expensive, problems in your home. Contaminated water, raw sewage, and other nasty stuff can fill your bathtub, rise up out of the floor drain and cause your toilets to overflow. You’ll want professional drain cleaning services from MasterTech to get this problem fixed, and then we recommend hiring a professional restoration company to ensure it is properly cleaned up and your health is protected.

      What Causes Clogged Drains?

      The most common cause of clogged sewer lines is roots. Trees, shrubs, bushes, etc send out underground tentacles to bring in water and nutrients. Unfortunately, these roots often invade into sewer lines where they have cracked or broken from ground settling. The roots then snag solid waste, mud, rocks, hygiene products, and wipes which leads to a blocked sewer line. Root intrusion is not “normal” in a sewer line, and if you are dealing with it year after year, then it’s likely that more comprehensive repairs are needed. (i.e. relining or excavation and replacement). The first step is to have the sewer drain line professionally cleaned, then have it inspected with a camera. MasterTech offers a FREE camera inspection under these circumstances ($200 value)!

      Do please understand that in some circumstances, the solution to a blocked or clogged drain requires a more significant repair. This can include:

      • clearing the sewer line and using a specialized process to “reline” the interior of the pipe
      • excavating a portion or the whole sewer line to replace it with modern materials designed to resist cracking/breaking and root intrusions

      Fortunately, MasterTech is well-versed in drain cleaning services to get your drains flowing again and keep them in working order. We use a variety of methods to clean your drains. Our Master Technicians will provide you with a written, fixed price up front and get your approval before starting any work. Call us today to schedule a service call.

      MasterTech does all of our plumbing and HVAC work and has for years because they always do a great job. Most recently, we had a horribly clogged... toilet that we could not fix ourselves; they took care of that and checked other issues as long as they were at the house. All of their people are excellent and we always know we can count on them.read more

      Gary Buck was amazing! He arrived on time, identified the leak, and saved me money. Most importantly, he repaired the leak in about 2 hours as... promised. He was personable and professional. He explained the process and the warranty. Gary was helpful and honest about the repair. He even offered a suggestion and left an opportunity for a future addition. I will use Gary's services again! Thank you Master Tech Plumbing, Heating, and Cooling.read more

      We own a home built in 1880. The sewer problem was located beneath a brick fireplace a few feet away from the city alley. It would have been easier... to dig in from the alley, but it would have doubled the repair cost! The tech team (Nathan,Chris,and Fletcher) were determined to keep out of the alley and save us the extra expense!Upon toppling the fireplace they discovered it was resting upon a 5’x5’x28” cube (or larger) of concrete that would not budgeOn day 2 they began work around 9 am. It took nearly 3 hours of jackhammering to finally break the monstrosity apart and gain access to the collapsed pipe below.By 3 pm the sewer line was repaired!!! Way to go, Fletcher!!These guys deserve every dollar it cost us! They were ever so patient as I hovered over them the entire time photo-journaling their work! Can’t praise this team enough!!read more

      So far I haven't used Master Tech to install or service anything, but I plan to. Gary came out to assess and give me an estimate on water heater... options. He was great! He was informative and not pushy. He was very knowledgeable and talked out the options with me and answered all of my questions and then some.read more

      Update to my original review - these guys are the best; I worked with Matt, Chris and Nate on a variety of issues from sewer line, to HVAC all around... the holidays when timing can be tough. They did it all very quickly with a ton of knowledge and were very kind. Their service convinced me to become a paying member for the yearly inspections/service and peace of mind. Highly recommend.read more

      These guys were great. Our tech, Nathan Rob, went above and beyond to give us a fair & competitive estimate, delivered timely and impeccable service... and checked in after repairs were done, to make sure everything was running good. We had a major sewer line replacement and had to deal with several different contractors. I wish I had know the possibilities of the extent of damage up front because I would have used MasterTech to complete the entire repair, instead of the multiple contractors that I used. The first contractors I used didn't have enough experience to complete the job from beginning to end and MasterTech did. Next time, they will be the first people I call.read more

      I highly recommend MasterTech based on my recent experience. I had an issue with my water heater, which is always stressful for a new homeowner.... Matt, the technician, arrived on time, was very friendly and knowledgeable, and presented me with options and information before beginning repairs. He quickly identified the issue and resolved it in about 30 minutes in the most professional manner. Can’t recommend MasterTech highly enough! Very pleased to have found this company to add to my contact sheet of high-quality local repair/service professionals!read more

      Repaired leaking water supply line outside of the house. Tech came out same day and they were able to dig up & replace entire supply line 3 days... later. Just wish it could have been quicker, but it was not a critical leak & had to schedule the backhoe and utility locationsread more
