Drain & Sewer Line Cleaning Services in Philadelphia

How Do Plumbers Unclog Drains & Sewer Lines?

Plumbers use different tools, depending on the size, location, and cause of the clog. They might use a plumbing snake, an auger, or high-powered water jetting to unclog a drain. Some plumbers might use a chemical drain cleaner. We do not recommend this, though, as it can damage and corrode your pipes over time.

PowerSnake - Our drain professionals use Zoom PowerSnake to clear clogs from even hard-to-reach drains. The Zoom PowerSnake has a flexible, durable cable that our technicians maneuver through drains to find the source of the clog. With a small, sharp blade at the end, the Zoom PowerSnake slices through difficult clogs. It is useful for breaking apart blockages found in your pipes and plumbing system. The PowerSnake is not only effective and versatile but also fast. Our technicians use it in a majority of drain cleaning jobs we perform.

Zoom Jetting® - Sometimes our technicians encounter clogs too thick or resilient for the PowerSnake. That's when we turn to the Zoom Jetting® system. Like the PowerSnake, this high-pressure hose maneuvers through drains to bust through blockages. The Zoom Jetting® system provides the power we need to completely clean out the inside of your drain. This state-of-the-art service will also help prevent future clogs from forming!

Our drain specialists are experts at clearing the toughest clogs. We clean more drains each year than many general plumbers clean in their entire career. That's why we often get calls from other plumbing contractors or customers referred to us by a plumber. Choose us for drain cleaning near you even other plumbers trust!

Hear From Our Customers

    So Grateful!
    “I can't say enough about you guys. From your first call in February (Tyler, Steve) up to today, you have exceeded my expectations. Twice technicians were at my house until 10 at night, on the weekend, and did not leave until the problem was diagnosed or resolved. My sewer line was not a normal situation and very hard to work around but they did it, they did it correctly and they did it quickly so as not to inconvenience myself or my neighbor. Chris was excellent (working until 10 P.M. on Father's Day), and Kevin made sure I was pleased with the job. Matt was absolutely awesome beyond words! He calmed my fears, explained everything, and put me at ease. He made sure everything was done correctly and he was accessible whenever I had a question or concern. I would never use anyone else but Zoom because of their employees and their service. My favorite thing is the fact that no matter what's going on, how late or how hot it is, the technicians ALWAYS put on shoe covers before coming back into the house. Thanks Zoom!”
    - June Gregory
    They were on time and completed the job quickly. Also had foot covers to protect the wood floor and treats for the dogs!
    “Zoom Drain cleared our courtyard drain this morning. They were on time and completed the job quickly. Also had foot covers to protect the wood floor and treats for the dogs!”
    - Anthon F.
    So crazily, I called and had working drains again in under two hours. From the time I called. You guys are the best.
    “I know it typically does not work this easily every time. However, when I called Zoom this morning they put me in the schedule for this afternoon. I then got a call back asking if a technician in 30 minutes would work for my schedule. Ben showed up in 30 minutes and was able to skillfully communicate what services he could provide to tackle what we were facing. I then proceeded to somehow think his name was Matt and cheerfully called him Matt the whole time. Never did he correct me, but later reading my invoice I see that I'm oblivious and Ben is patient. He also was able to snake clean, video inspect, and clean out debris clogging our u-bend in under 40 minutes. So crazily, I called and had working drains again in under two hours. From the time I called. You guys are the best.”
