Frequent Causes of Drain Clogs
- Grease & Oils: These are usually a main cause of kitchen drain problems, but they are also a major cause of severe blockage and damage deeper in the sewer pipes.
- Hair: Hair is usually the number one reason a tub/shower drain will clog. It is also a common culprit for bathroom drain issues.
- Certain Foods: Kitchen drains and garbage disposals can get damaged or blocked up by foods like egg shells, pasta, fruit pits, coffee grounds, rice, seeds, etc.
- Soap Residue: Most people are surprised to find out that soap scum can build up over time and clog up kitchen and bathroom drains.
- Tree Roots: Tree roots commonly cause blockage in sewer pipes if they are growing near a sewer line.
Our Drain Cleaning Methods
High-Power Drain Snaking in Northeast Philadelphia
Our ZOOM PowerSnake technology is made up of a flexible cable that can be inserted into a drain line until the blockage is reached. This snaking method involves a sharp blade that cuts through clogs and effectively breaks them down inside the pipe. It is a fast method that is highly-effective on most drain clogs.
High-Pressure Water Jetting in Northeast Philadelphia
For some clogs, water jetting (also known as hydro-jetting) is the best solution. If, for whatever reason, a clog is not completely broken up by snaking, then jetting can finish the job. During the process, a hose is guided through the pipe toward the location of the clog. Then high power water jets blast away all debris, eliminating both the clog and any potential new clogs in formation.
Our drain specialists serve neighborhoods across the region like Germantown, Oxford Circle, Frankford, Olney, Lawncrest, Fox Chase, Holmesburg, and surrounding areas.

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.

“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.”- Raphi S
