Eliminating Stubborn Clogs for GoodA Zoom Drain specialist performs a video camera sewer inspection

Getting to the root cause of sewer and drain problems is key to eliminating them. If the cause isn’t immediately obvious, our team can perform a video camera sewer inspection. A video inspection allows us to see what’s going on inside the sewer or drain pipe and identify exactly what and where the problem is, which helps us determine the best solution.

We utilize a number of professional tools and equipment to perform our work efficiently and effectively.

When it comes to stubborn clogs, we may recommend:

  • PowerSnake service: We move a flexible steel cable fitted with a blade through the pipe, rotating it as it goes to cut through clogs and buildup and clean the inner surfaces of the pipe.
  • Water jetting service: Our high-pressure jetting system pushes a powerful stream of water through the pipe, blasting through clogs and sloughing off buildup along the sides, with no damage to pipes.
  • Enzyme treatment: Eco-friendly enzyme solutions are poured into pipes to eat through organic matter building up and causing clogs. This is often used as a follow-up to one of the above methods, as well as a standalone treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

We're always happy to answer any questions about drain and sewers, our company, or our services, so you're welcome to reach out to us at any time. However, we've put together some of the questions we’re asked most frequently, along with our answers.

What caused my drain clog?

The specific answer to this question is different for each drain, but there are several common culprits. Clogs are usually the result of a buildup of foreign matter inside the drain, a single foreign object or mass, or a combination of these. Hair, grease, baby wipes, feminine hygiene products, toys, and tree roots are among the top offenders—do your best to keep these things out of your drains.

Can I schedule an appointment online?

Yes, you can! Our convenient online scheduler allows you to request your preferred appointment time.

Are you running any specials?

We often have cost-saving offers available! Check out our coupons page to see our current offers for drain and sewer services in Chestnut Hill.

Will sewer repair ruin my lawn and/or landscaping?

Standard excavation often requires quite a bit of digging, which can have a big impact on your yard. Trenchless sewer repair methods, however, are far less invasive, requiring just a small hole at either end. Talk to our team about which method is right for your situation.

Does your team provide commercial sewer and drain services?

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.

Hear From Our Customers

    Fantastic!
    “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.”
