Meet The Owners Of Zoom Drain Rhode Island

Native New Englanders Who Are Eager To Serve Their Community

Zoom Drain of Rhode Island is proudly owned and operated by Kyle and Allison Roberge, native New Englanders and a husband and wife team with very different professional backgrounds.

With Kyle growing up in Connecticut and Allison in Massachusetts, the two have always called the region home – moving to Providence in 2021. Kyle’s background features more than two decades worth of experience in the restaurant industry, working first in fine dining before transitioning to restaurant operational oversight and development, overseeing training for more than nine Boston area restaurants. Allison, a Boston University alum with a degree in Biology and an MBA, has spent her career in the healthcare and pharmaceutical sectors, both in research and product development.

And although the two might be new to The Ocean State, they fell in love with it immediately.

“Rhode Island is just beautiful,” said Allison Roberge. “It’s right on the water, there’s really great restaurants – plus you’re close to the mountains, close to New York City and close to Boston. Our state brings a variety of New Englanders, each with their own, slightly unique, background”

Now, the duo is building something together, a tangible thing they can oversee. After careers working for others, it’s time to take what they’ve learned and focus it towards growing their own franchise. With goals to always help their community during times of need, create fulfilling and constantly-evolving careers and give back to the area however they can, Kyle and Allison want to continue to build Zoom Drain’s reputation as the name to trust for drain and sewer service.

“We want people to always be satisfied with our work, knowing it’ll be done fast and efficiently – that they can call during an emergency and everything is going to be OK because Zoom Drain is on their way,” Kyle Roberge admitted. “We have the opportunity to make an immediate impact on people who aren’t really having a great day, to become stewards of our local community and to help the residents and businesses around us – all while giving back to those in our region.”

We serve communities around Rhode Island: Providence, Cranston, Cumberland and beyond.

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

    Great Service great people
    “Hi, I called Zoom after 5:00pm and they were here by 9:00 clearing my drain. The service was great and the service tech Kyle knew right away what the problem was and went to work on it. By the time he left the drain was cleared and he explain everything that he did and what else was needed and my options. The price was very reasonable and I was pleasantly surprised that it didn't cost more. I would recommend Zoom to anyone having a drain problem. Thank you for such great service.”

    “Highly recommend Zoom Drain! We contacted them after working hours with an emergency call. Preston arrived in a timely manner and rectified the situation. Will be using Zoom in the future.”

    Saved me quite the headache.
    “I am a first time home buyer and had quite the flooded basement my first weekend after moving in. I called Zoom Drain and they were able to send someone out the very next morning. Joe and Ben assessed the situation and were able to come up with a few possible causes fairly quickly. After further investigation it was obvious the repair was going to be a much bigger job. The Zoom Drain crew worked hard for several hours in order to remove some wall to get to and replace some rotted pipes. After all that they informed me of my bill and it was more than reasonably priced! I will definitely be going to them for my future needs.”
