Why Madison Heights Residents Trust My Drain Master
Here’s the thing about drain problems. They never happen at a convenient time. And when you’re searching for help, you need someone who actually answers the phone, shows up when they say they will, and fixes the problem right the first time.
We’re a locally-owned plumbing company that specializes in residential and commercial drain cleaning. That means we’re not trying to sell you a whole new plumbing system when all you need is a good cleaning. Our master plumbers are fully licensed, bonded, and insured in Michigan, and we’re proud members of the Plumbing-Heating-Cooling Contractors Association.
What makes us different:
We show up fast. Our 24/7 emergency service means you’ll get help when you need it, not when it’s convenient for us. Same-day service is our standard, not our exception.
We tell you the price upfront. Flat-rate pricing means no surprises, no hidden fees, and no “gotcha” charges when the job’s done. You’ll know what you’re paying before we start working.
We use the right equipment. Our hydro jetting equipment, sewer camera inspection systems, and professional-grade drain snakes tackle problems that store-bought solutions can’t touch.
We back our work. Every job comes with our service satisfaction guarantee and workmanship warranty. If we fix it, it stays fixed.
Comprehensive Drain Cleaning Services for Every Situation
Clogged Drain Repair
Slow drains don’t fix themselves. They get worse. What starts as water taking a few extra seconds to go down often turns into a complete backup that floods your bathroom or kitchen.
We handle clogged drains in every part of your property. Kitchen sinks backed up with grease and food waste. Bathroom drains clogged with hair and soap scum. Floor drains in your basement that won’t accept water anymore. Shower and tub drains that leave you standing in dirty water.
Our approach is simple. We diagnose the actual problem first using video pipe inspection when needed. Then we use the right method for your specific situation, whether that’s cable rodding, power snaking, or hydro jetting.
Emergency Drain Services
Drain emergencies don’t wait for business hours. A backed-up sewer line at 11 PM on a Saturday is still a backed-up sewer line that needs immediate attention.
Our emergency drain services cover Madison Heights, Royal Oak, Hazel Park, Troy, Warren, and throughout Oakland County. We keep fully-equipped service vehicles ready to roll, with uniformed professionals who know how to handle urgent situations without cutting corners.
Got a main line stoppage that’s backing sewage into your home? We’ll get there fast and fix it right. Commercial property near Oakland Mall with a grease trap overflow? We handle that too.
Hydro Jetting Services
Sometimes a regular drain snake just won’t cut it. When you’re dealing with severe grease buildup, tree root intrusion, or years of mineral deposits, hydro jetting is the answer.
This high-pressure water jetting method uses specialized equipment that blasts away blockages with streams of water at pressures up to 4000 PSI. It’s powerful enough to cut through tree roots and scour your pipes clean, but safe for your plumbing system when done by trained professionals.
Hydro jetting works great for:
- Stubborn main sewer line clogs
- Grease buildup in restaurant drain lines
- Root removal from older clay sewer pipes common in Madison Heights
- Descaling and removing mineral deposits
- Preventative maintenance to keep drains flowing freely
Sewer Line Cleaning
Your main sewer line carries all the wastewater from your property to the municipal system. When it gets clogged or backed up, every drain in your building can be affected.
We handle sewer line cleaning for both residential homes and commercial properties. Using motorized drain augers and professional cable machines, we can clear blockages in cast iron pipes, PVC pipes, clay sewer pipes, and other materials common in Madison Heights properties.
Many homes in neighborhoods like Greenlawn and Brush Park have older sewer laterals that are prone to tree root intrusion and pipe corrosion. We use sewer camera inspection to find exactly where the problem is, then fix it using the most effective method, whether that’s rooter machines, hydro jetting, or trenchless technology for repairs.
Video Camera Inspection
Can’t figure out why your drains keep backing up? Sometimes the problem isn’t obvious from the surface. That’s where our video inspection technology comes in.
We insert a waterproof camera into your drain lines and sewer pipes to see exactly what’s happening inside. This non-invasive diagnostic method lets us spot issues like:
- Tree roots growing into pipes
- Bellied pipes that have shifted or settled
- Cracks, breaks, or corrosion
- Foreign objects stuck in the line
- Pipe offset issues at connections
- Grease buildup locations
You’ll actually see what we see. We show you the video footage and explain what’s going on in plain English, not plumber jargon. Then we give you a written estimate for the fix.
Common Drain Problems We Solve in Madison Heights
Kitchen Sink Issues
Your kitchen sink handles a lot. Food waste, grease, soap, and everything else that goes down during cooking and cleanup. Over time, grease buildup creates stubborn clogs that slow down drainage or stop it completely.
Store-bought drain cleaners? They’re harsh on your pipes and rarely solve the real problem. We use professional methods that actually work. For kitchen drains, we often recommend enzymatic drain treatment as part of ongoing maintenance to break down organic waste naturally.
Bathroom Drain Clogs
Hair, soap scum, and toothpaste residue create the perfect storm in bathroom drains. Shower and tub drains are especially prone to slow drainage because hair combines with soap to form tough clogs.
We clear these using handheld drain augers for simple clogs or power rodding equipment for deeper blockages. The goal isn’t just to get water flowing again. It’s to remove the entire clog so it doesn’t come back next month.
Basement and Floor Drain Backups
If you have a finished basement near I-75 or I-696, a floor drain backup can cause serious water damage fast. These drains are designed to carry away water from washing machines, water heaters, and floor cleaning. When they back up, you’ve got a mess.
Basement drain problems often point to main line issues or problems with your sewer lateral connection. We use pressure washers and cable machines to clear the blockage, then inspect the line to make sure there aren’t bigger issues lurking.
Storm Drain Maintenance
Commercial properties along 11 Mile Road and 12 Mile Road need functioning storm drains to handle Michigan weather. Clogged storm drains can lead to flooding, parking lot damage, and code violations.
We provide storm drain cleaning for businesses, multi-unit properties, and commercial facilities throughout Madison Heights and Oakland County.
Our Drain Cleaning Process
Here’s how we work when you call My Drain Master:
- You Call, We Answer
Real people answer our phones, not automated systems. We’ll ask about your situation and schedule a time that works for you. Emergency? We’re on our way.
- We Show Up On Time
Our background-checked technicians arrive in branded service vehicles with all the equipment needed for most drain issues. You’ll know exactly who’s at your door.
- We Diagnose the Problem
Before we start, we figure out what’s actually wrong. Sometimes that means using a sewer camera. Sometimes it’s obvious. Either way, we explain what we found.
- We Give You the Price
No work starts until you approve the cost. Our flat-rate pricing means you know what you’re paying before we begin. No surprise charges later.
- We Fix It Right
Using professional equipment like electric drain cleaners, motorized augers, or hydro jetting systems, we clear your drain properly. Not just enough to get water moving, but completely cleared.
- We Test and Clean Up
We make sure everything’s working correctly before we leave. We also clean up our work area because we respect your property.
- We Document Everything
If we used video inspection, you get a copy. You’ll also get a written invoice detailing the work completed and any recommendations for preventative maintenance.

Preventative Drain Maintenance Programs
Wouldn’t it be better to avoid drain problems in the first place? Our preventative drain maintenance programs do exactly that.
For residential customers, we recommend annual or bi-annual drain cleaning to keep your plumbing system healthy. This is especially important if you have older pipes, large trees in your yard, or you’ve had problems before.
Commercial clients, especially restaurants and food service businesses, benefit from regular grease trap cleaning and scheduled maintenance. It prevents emergency backups during your busiest times and keeps you compliant with health codes.
We offer:
- Scheduled maintenance visits
- Video inspection to catch problems early
- Enzymatic treatments for ongoing prevention
- Senior discounts for residential customers
- Priority scheduling for maintenance plan members
Why Drain Problems Can’t Wait
Ignoring a slow drain or minor backup might seem like you’re saving money. You’re not. Here’s what actually happens:
Small clogs get bigger. That partially blocked drain will become a completely blocked drain. Usually at the worst possible time.
Water damage adds up. Slow drains can cause water to sit in pipes longer, increasing corrosion. Backups can flood your home or business, causing thousands in damage.
Health concerns multiply. Standing water and sewage backups create unsanitary conditions that put your family or customers at risk.
Fixing problems early costs less. A simple drain cleaning now prevents expensive pipe repairs or sewer line replacement later.

Frequently Asked Questions?
How much does drain cleaning cost in Madison Heights?
Pricing depends on the severity and location of the clog. Simple drain cleaning for a single fixture typically costs less than clearing a main sewer line or using hydro jetting for severe blockages. We provide flat-rate pricing with a written estimate before starting work, so you’ll know the exact cost upfront. Most homeowners find our prices competitive and fair for the quality of work and professional equipment we use.
How quickly can you get here for a drain emergency?
For emergency drain services, we aim to reach most Madison Heights locations within an hour, often faster depending on your specific area and our current service calls. We maintain 24/7 availability with fully-equipped service vehicles ready to respond. When you call, we’ll give you an honest arrival time estimate and keep you updated if anything changes.
Will drain cleaning damage my old pipes?
Not when it’s done correctly by licensed professionals. We assess your pipe material and condition before choosing the right method. For example, we’re extra careful with older clay sewer pipes or corroded cast iron pipes common in established Madison Heights neighborhoods. Our sewer camera inspection helps us see the pipe condition before we start, so we can use the gentlest effective method. Hydro jetting, when properly calibrated by trained technicians, is actually safer for pipes than chemical drain cleaners.
How do I know if I need hydro jetting or regular drain snaking?
Great question. Regular drain snaking works well for simple clogs like hair in bathroom drains or food waste in kitchen sinks. Hydro jetting is better for severe grease buildup, tree root intrusion, or when you want a thorough cleaning of your main sewer line. After inspecting your drain, we’ll recommend the most effective and cost-efficient solution. Sometimes we start with snaking and move to hydro jetting only if needed. We won’t oversell you on services you don’t need.
Can you prevent tree roots from coming back into my sewer line?
Tree root intrusion is common in Madison Heights, especially in older neighborhoods with mature trees and clay sewer pipes. We can cut and remove existing roots using specialized root cutting equipment or hydro jetting. For long-term prevention, we might recommend chemical root treatments that discourage regrowth, or in severe cases, trenchless pipe repair to fix damaged sections. Regular video inspections help us catch root problems before they cause backups.
Do you offer emergency service on weekends and holidays?
Yes. Drain emergencies don’t respect the calendar, so neither do we. Our 24/7 emergency service covers every day of the year, including weekends and holidays. You’ll pay the same flat-rate pricing regardless of when you call. We believe emergency service shouldn’t come with price gouging.
What’s the difference between a drain clog and a sewer line problem?
A drain clog usually affects one fixture or area. For example, just your kitchen sink or one bathroom. A sewer line problem affects multiple drains or your entire house. If every drain in your home is slow or backing up, or if you have sewage coming up through floor drains, that’s likely a main sewer line issue. We use video camera inspection to pinpoint exactly where the problem is located, whether it’s in your drain lines, your sewer lateral, or the main line connection.
