The Importance of Regular Maintenance

Regular maintenance is crucial to business upkeep, especially regarding your plumbing system. It's not just a routine task but an investment that can yield significant savings in terms of time, money, and stress in the future.

Avoid Major Problems

Regular drain maintenance can help you identify potential issues before they escalate into major problems. For instance, small blockages can be cleared easily if caught early, but if left unchecked, they could lead to severe clogs that require costly repairs. By catching these minor issues early on, you can avoid the inconvenience of dealing with major disruptions to your daily routines and activities.

Save Money

While regular maintenance does incur a cost, it is often much less than the expense of major repairs or replacements. A well-maintained drain is less likely to experience serious issues such as leaks or bursts, which can cause extensive water damage to your property. By investing in regular drain maintenance, you're essentially saving yourself from potentially hefty repair bills in the future.

Reduce Stress

Dealing with plumbing emergencies can be stressful. Not only do they disrupt your day-to-day life, but they also create uncertainty about the extent of the problem and how much it will cost to fix. Regular maintenance offers peace of mind, knowing that your drains are in good condition and less likely to surprise you with sudden, unforeseen issues.

Extend Lifespan of Plumbing System

Just like any other system in your home or business, your plumbing system has a certain lifespan. Regular maintenance helps to extend this lifespan by ensuring that all components are in good working order and that any wear and tear is addressed promptly. This means you can get the most out of your plumbing system before investing in a major overhaul or replacement.

Regular drain maintenance is a proactive measure that protects the health of your plumbing system, saves you from unexpected expenses, and provides peace of mind. It’s a small step that can make a significant difference in the long run.

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.

    “My sewer pipe backed up on a Sunday, my usual plumbing company doesn't work on weekends so I called Zoom Drain, I had used them before for sewer issues. Rob M. was able to come within 2 hours. Rob was wonderful, he was very thorough determining the cause of the problem which turned out to be tree roots which he cut and removed. Because my home is 65 years old my pipes and fittings were a challenge but not for Rob he worked really hard to make sure all my lines were clear and would not leave until he was sure the issue was resolved. Rob was friendly, professional and very knowledgable at what he does. I highly recommend Zoom Drain and thank Rob very much for all his help and hard work, Rob you made an unpleasant and stressful situation much less scary.”
