Comprehensive Drain Inspection Services in Atlanta

What is Drain Inspection?

At Zoom Drain of North Atlanta, our skilled team of specialists focuses on drain inspection services. We use advanced technology and careful methods to carefully examine your drainage system, allowing us to find any current issues or possible problems. Then, we offer personalized solutions to make sure your system works well and is efficient.

When it comes to checking drains for problems, there are different ways to do it. The method used depends on the situation and what needs to be checked.

  • Visual Inspection: Physically examining drains using tools like flashlights and mirrors to find clogs, debris buildup, or visible damage.
  • CCTV Drain Inspection: Using waterproof cameras inserted into drains to get live video footage of the interior, allowing detailed examination of the entire drainage system, even in hard-to-reach areas.
  • Smoke Testing: Introducing smoke or harmless fog into the drainage system to detect leaks, cracks, or connections with other plumbing lines, useful for finding hidden issues.
  • Hydrostatic Testing: Filling drains or sewer lines with water to check for leaks or faults, commonly done for larger pipes to assess the overall integrity of the drainage system.

What Are the Benefits of Video Drain Inspections?

Doing video drain inspections is really important to make sure your pipes and drains work well. These inspections can help find any problems in your drain and sewer plumbing system and figure out what's wrong.

Below we list the importance and benefits of our video drain inspections:

  • Identify Drain Blockages. With video drain inspections, experienced professionals can take a look inside our drains using sophisticated cameras and high-powered lenses to detect any blockages or other issues that might be causing drainage issues. This allows us to diagnose the problem quickly and efficiently without having to tear apart your walls or flooring to find the source of the issue.
  • Identify Cracked Pipes. Additionally, these inspections are also extremely beneficial for finding broken or cracked pipes that could be leaking wastewater and contaminating drinking water supplies.
  • Reduce Unnecessary Repairs. Using video drain inspection technology also helps reduce unnecessary repairs and costly excavation projects, as it enables us to pinpoint exactly what needs fixing before making costly decisions. Without these cameras, we'd have no way of knowing where exactly the problem is located, which could result in either unnecessary work or inadequate repairs.
  • Provide More Accurate Assessments of Your Drains. Video drain inspections also allow for more accurate assessments of clogs as they can show a detailed image of the entire pipe system so plumbers know exactly what needs to be done to resolve the issue quickly and effectively.

Furthermore, performing these types of inspections regularly can help lower maintenance costs by preventing bigger problems from occurring down the line.

Identifying Common Drain Issues and Their Solutions

  • Clogged Drains: This occurs when debris, hair, grease, or other substances build up in the drain pipes, causing blockages that restrict the flow of water. Clogged drains can lead to slow drainage, backups, and unpleasant odors.
  • Leaky Pipes: Pipe leaks can occur due to corrosion, aging, improper installation, or damage. These leaks can result in water seepage, dampness, mold growth, and potential structural damage if not addressed promptly.
  • Tree Root Intrusion: Tree roots seeking water and nutrients can infiltrate drain pipes through small cracks or joints, causing blockages and pipe damage. This can lead to clogs, backups, and even pipe breakage in severe cases.

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.
