Frequently Asked Questions

What Are the Most Common Causes of Drain Blockages in Delaware?

Blockages in drains can occur due to a variety of reasons. Common causes include the accumulation of hair, grease, soap scum, and foreign objects that have been flushed down toilets or drains. In Delaware, with its mix of older and new infrastructures, tree roots are also a significant concern as they can infiltrate pipes, leading to severe clogs. Seasonal changes can further exacerbate issues, with leaves and other debris potentially clogging outdoor drains. It’s crucial to implement regular maintenance and use drain guards where possible to prevent these common issues.

Why Are Video Inspections Necessary for Sewer Lines in Delaware?

Video inspections are vital in assessing the condition of sewer lines without invasive digging. Using advanced cameras, we can pinpoint issues like blockages, cracks, or displacements that aren't immediately visible from the surface. This method is particularly beneficial in areas like Delaware that have a mix of rural and urban development, where preserving landscape aesthetics is often a priority. By identifying issues at an early stage, we can offer solutions that prevent future blockages and save money by avoiding more extensive repair work.

How Can I Tell if My Sump Pump Needs Replacement?

A sump pump is critical in protecting your home from flooding, especially during Delaware’s wet seasons. Signs it may need replacement include unusual noises, constant cycling on and off, visible rust, and if it fails to activate altogether during water intake. Regular inspections and tests can keep your sump pump functioning properly. If any warning signs are observed, contacting professionals at Zoom Drain of Delaware can ensure a thorough assessment and effective solutions to maintain home safety.

What Eco-Friendly Solutions Do You Offer for Drain Cleaning?

Environmental sustainability is a core principle at Zoom Drain of Delaware. For drain cleaning, we utilize biodegradable products and high-pressure water jetting for effective and eco-friendly cleaning. These methods ensure blockages are cleared without introducing harmful chemicals into your plumbing system or surroundings. By choosing eco-conscious services, we help preserve Delaware’s natural habitats while providing thorough drain cleaning solutions.

How Often Should Drains Be Professionally Cleaned in Delaware?

Regular drain cleaning is an integral part of home maintenance. In Delaware, given the environmental factors and local infrastructure, it’s advisable to have your drains professionally cleaned at least once a year. This frequency can vary based on specific household water usage and the condition of pipes. Regular professional cleaning prevents severe clogs, keeps systems efficient, and can extend your plumbing system’s lifespan, saving money on potential repairs.

At Zoom Drain of Delaware, our commitment to transparency and clear communication means you'll be kept informed at every crucial step of the process. We strive to go beyond mere satisfaction, aspiring to surpass your expectations entirely.

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.
