Why Drain Inspections Are So Important

Getting a professional drain inspection from our team at Zoom Drain of Orange County can help uncover issues before they turn into big problems.

  • Detect problems early - Inspections can uncover issues like cracks, leaks, and clogs before they cause big headaches. Early detection saves money.
  • Prevent backups & overflows - Identifying drain line trouble spots ahead of time prevents nasty backups, overflows, and flooding that can cause water damage.
  • Check for tree root invasions - Roots that infiltrate and break pipes are a common issue. Inspections help spot roots so they can be removed before major damage.
  • Confirm repairs were done properly - Drain repairs like pipe lining should always be followed up with an inspection to ensure the fix was effective.
  • Evaluate the condition of pipes - Inspections provide a detailed report on the condition of drain pipes and connections and how much life they have left.
  • Give peace of mind - Homeowners feel reassured knowing their drain system is in good shape after a professional inspection.

What Is a Video Drain Inspection?

We use a drain inspection camera that allows our service technicians to watch a live feed, looking inside of pipes between 2 and 36 inches in diameter. The high resolution of our cameras allows us to locate even the smallest cracks and imperfections in your drains and pipes.

At Zoom Drain of Orange County, our sewer and drain technicians begin every service with a thorough inspection of your system to locate the cause of your drain problems and give insight into the health of your system’s pipes. A video inspection is very unobtrusive, as it prevents the need to dig up your pipes to inspect the inner lines and tubes of your sewer and plumbing system. That's why it's preferred by our customers.

Benefits of Video Drain Inspections

Video drain inspections offer a clear, detailed view of the inside of your pipes, allowing our technicians to identify any issues such as clogs, leaks, or root intrusion. This non-invasive method of inspection can save you time and money by pinpointing the exact location and cause of the problem without the need for costly and disruptive excavation.

Some of the key benefits of video drain inspections include:

  • Accurate diagnosis of drain and sewer issues
  • Preventative maintenance to catch problems early
  • Cost-effective solution for identifying and resolving issues
  • Minimally invasive process with no need for excavation
  • Peace of mind knowing the condition of your pipes

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.
