We are quite new to having a house with a septic tank, so when we realized it was time to have it pumped, we did some research online to find a highly rated company. We quickly called Zoom Drain, who got to our house within a few days (not an emergency), and we had an absolutely amazing experience! Austin Craig showed up and addressed any questions or concerns we had, and was very friendly and had a great attitude on a cold morning! Would definitely recommend using Zoom Drain!Mercedes Flint
I can't say enough good things about Zoom Drain. They are prompt and always do a great job cleaning our old cast iron drain. Particularly, Austin is the gentleman we request because he has always afforded 'top notch' service. That said, I highly recommend Zoom Drain (and Austin) for your next cast iron drain cleaning service. Note: Zoom Drain offers a regularly scheduled drain cleaning service that can save you money if you need it.Hammond Hendrix
Very pleased with the service. Very professional. Will use them again.Lisa Hamilton
Daniel was able to show up very early the day after our sewage pipe was clogged and flooded our first floor. He drained the water and used a camera to go down the pipe to find out what caused the clog. He then unclogged the pipe and told us what immediate repair we'll need to do on the pipe leading from the house to the street.Angela Chu
Young man was very polite and did exactly what was needed to clean the drain.Carolyn Crownover
JC is the best. We had a clog that just wouldn’t quit and he came out 3 times to help us get it fixed. Each time he stayed late and worked extra to make sure we’re in a good place. Top notch service, and just an overall cool dude. Thanks, JC!Camille Buzbee
Really amazing experience with Zoom today. JC came through at the end of an already long day, full of helpful enthusiasm to figure out what was going wrong with our pipes. And figure it out he did, with friendly expertise, walking and talking me through the process every step of the way, laying some much-needed education on me as he worked. It was nearly 8 p.m. by the time he was able to leave, but he was just as friendly leaving as when he walked in. Best of all, the current problem was fixed, and an even bigger problem (one that we suspected) was confirmed via camera. Not great news, but really great to know for sure what's going on down there. This kind of work is never cheap, but we feel really good about the value we got from Zoom, thanks to great service from JC.Dave Thomas
The guys were so helpful and knowledgeable—highly recommend this company!Jenni D
We are very pleased with the level of service of Zoom Drain Central Texas. They communicate when the technicians are on their way and even send you a pic of the person that is going to be working on your property. Our technician Austin Craig was very efficient, clean job, and very professional. 100% recommend!Lu Vergara
JC was great! We had a stubborn drain clog that he fixed and helped us understand the cause of the problem.Lindsey Yocum
JC is very meticulous about doing the best possible job. Definitely will use him again! The only reason for not rating 5 star was he was 45 min late.Douglas Rougeau
Austin and JC did a great job today. Both were very friendly and explained the work they were there to do in a great way. They were professional and knowledgeable. I would definitely call Zoom Drain again for any services regarding our septic system.S Rob
Very pleased with Zoom Drain; they came instantly and helped us fix the problem. Fast and a good job! I will definitely contact them for any issues with my drain in the future. Thank you, guys! The best of the best!Cristian Jeronimo
JC was awesome and he came out on his birthday! He was super helpful and knowledgeable. He located the septic tank for us and scoped the piping, showing my husband that it looked good and was in good condition. The company that came out for our home warranty request had told us the clean out was full of roots and was in bad shape. A separate company came last July, just before we purchased the property and "pumped" the septic. However, from the overflowing yuck in the yard and what JC showed us, that obviously didn't happen. JC, you were a rockstar and we appreciate your great service! Happy birthday! Looking forward to having Zoom Drain provide our service in the future.Cassy P.
Team was great—nice guys and explained what they were doing through the process. Would use again.Aaron Berlin
JC Otti came out to unclog a pipe at my property. He was very professional and provided excellent customer service!Sergio Ruiz
