Meet The Owner Of Zoom Drain Austin

Texas Born And Raised, Building A Foundation In a New City

Zoom Drain of Austin is proudly owned and operated by Daniel Mays, an alumnus of Vanderbilt University with a background in engineering science. For the majority of his young career, Mays specialized in Robotic Automation Process, taking mundane, often time-consuming, office tasks and automating them, working for well-established brands across the financial services, insurance, and automotive sectors.

Now, Mays begins a new chapter in his life and career, building a franchise and home in Austin.

“Austin has so many kinds of personalities and it’s an exploding city with so much excitement,” said Mays.“One thing I’m thrilled about with Zoom Drain is that I’m planting my roots and seeds in Austin. It’s a location that has always been one of the most exciting places in Texas!”

A Texas native, growing up nearby in San Antonio while also spending time living in Dallas, Mays was tired of a life that consistently saw him on the move, living from a suitcase. He knew it was time to call somewhere home and after a recent trip to Texas’ capital city, he’d found it!

“Working remotely has kept me on the go, without a specific home, for well over a year now. With this new endeavor and new city, to have a rooted homebase, to build both my personal life and my Zoom Drain franchise, it is something that’s really got me excited,” Mays admitted.

Mays thrives when pushed outside of his comfort zone. It’s how he managed to conquer a fear of heights and climb the Grand Teton Mountains and how he conquers anything in life. Combine that with a passion for hands-on learning environments and a deeply-rooted desire to handle day-to-day operations and decisions, something he was unable to do in prior roles, and it’s clear Mays is ready to start writing the next chapter of his life, one that include the trades – one that will show Austin that, when it comes to drains and sewers, he’s the person you should trust.

“I love the idea of building out this team and this culture and this little family,” Mays added. “I want Austin to know they’re in good hands and that they’re going to be taken care of. We’re going to show up on time and take care of you – it's going to be a seamless process.”

Our FAQs

  • To prevent clogs, avoid putting the following down your kitchen sink:

    • Grease, oil, or fat (FOG).
    • Coffee grounds.
    • Eggshells or food scraps.
    • Fibrous vegetables (like celery or corn husks).
    • Pasta, rice, or other starchy foods.
    • Regularly clean drains using a natural drain cleaner like baking soda and vinegar.
    • Install drain screens or traps to catch hair and debris.
    • Avoid flushing non-biodegradable items down the toilet.
    • Be mindful of what you pour down the kitchen sink (e.g., no grease or oils).
    • Have professional inspections performed periodically.
  • A cleanout is a pipe fitting that provides easy access for drain cleaning. If your plumbing system doesn't already have one, Zoom Drain can install a cleanout, which can save you time and money when clearing future blockages.

  • Sewer lining is a trenchless method of repairing damaged pipes by inserting a liner into the existing pipe. The liner hardens into a new pipe, sealing any cracks or leaks. It’s less invasive and often more cost-effective than traditional sewer replacement.

  • Signs that your sewer line may need repair or replacement include:

    • Persistent slow drains or backups.
    • Unpleasant odors coming from your drains.
    • Wet spots or patches of lush greenery in your yard (indicating leaks).
    • Gurgling sounds in your toilet or sinks. Zoom Drain provides comprehensive sewer repair, lining, and replacement services.
  • A malfunctioning sewage pump may show signs like:

    • Sewage backup or slow draining.
    • Foul odors or gurgling noises.
    • Inconsistent or no pump operation. Regular inspections and maintenance can prevent costly failures.
  • Signs of sump pump issues include:

    • Water pooling around the sump pump area.
    • Strange noises when the pump operates.
    • Pump not turning on or off properly.
    • Water not being pumped out effectively. Zoom Drain can inspect and provide repair or replacement services.
  • Jetting from the roof vent involves sending high-pressure water through your drain lines starting from the roof vent, which clears out blockages from the top of the pipes. This technique can reach clogs that are deep within the system, particularly for stubborn, hard-to-reach blockages.

  • Hydrojetting is a technique where high-pressure water is used to clean drains. It’s especially effective for removing grease, debris, and tree roots. This method is ideal for tougher clogs that can't be easily cleared with standard tools.

  • Zoom Drain uses advanced tools like:

    • Hydrojetting machines for powerful, high-pressure water cleaning.
    • Sewer cameras to inspect and locate blockages deep within your pipes.
    • Locators to precisely find and identify issues underground or behind walls.
    • Traditional augers for mechanical drain clearing when necessary.
