Comprehensive Grease Trap Pumping Services in Philadelphia
Backed-up drains in your kitchen might not just be a blockage in your drainage system, but could be a result from a full or under-maintained grease trap/interceptor. Leaving your systems unchecked can lead to costly back-ups and down-time in a busy kitchen. Vacuuming and cleaning these vital points help prolong the life of these units - not to mention keeps your back of house operating smoothly. With Zoom Pumping, we’re your all-in-one provider for grease trap cleaning and pumping. We take care of both!
How Our Zoom Pumping™ Ensures Clean Grease Traps
Grease traps and interceptors are designed to remove grease, fats, oils and food solids from your drains before they reach your main sewer. They need to be properly maintained on regular intervals to ensure proper functionality. Our technicians provide professional recommendations of scheduled cleanings to help avoid blockages throughout your entire property that could result in issues with the Department of Health and your local municipality.
Our vacuum trucks are engineered for grease, with bigger pumps and a tank that holds up to 2,000 gallons of sludge and has hose that can reach up to 300 feet - extending to those hard to reach indoor grease traps and large interceptors with ease.
In addition, our technicians come equipped with water jets for pressure washing after pumping, leaving the inside spotless and clear of debris. We also clean the inlets and outlets of the traps, going one step further to ensure easy flow throughout your system. To finish, we supply enzymes and degreasers to keep your traps operating smoothly and efficiently, thanks to the efficient and high quality service you’ve come to expect from us.

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.

“Got to hand it to these guys. They did an amazing job. From trying to unclog my drain pipe to eventually having to dig up the street to replace a broken section of pipe that was the culprit, they were great. Huge shout out to everyone who was here fixing the problem and to the people I was communicating with in the office. My thanks go out to James, Rich, Johnnie, Mike, Conor, Rebecca, and those who’s names escape me. Thanks for being open, friendly, and making the process easy and stress free. And an aside...I’m glad no one got hurt by that tree! (Inside joke) I highly recommend them.”- Raphi S
