What Can a Drain Inspection Find?
A drain inspection can reveal a lot about the condition of your plumbing system. We’ll use specialized equipment, such as video cameras, to inspect the drain and identify potential issues that may require attention.
Here are a few things that a drain inspection can find:
- Blockages and Buildup– A buildup of substances such as grease, soap, and hair can obstruct the drain and cause clogs that must be removed.
- Damage to Pipes – Inspections can reveal cracks, corrosion, or other damage to pipes, all of which can lead to leaks or burst pipes if left unattended.
- Tree Roots – Tree roots can grow into and damage pipes over time. An inspection can detect this issue and allow tree roots to be removed before causing significant damage.
- Improper Installation – If a drain has not been installed correctly, it can cause leaks or backups. An inspection can detect these issues and allow for necessary repairs to be made.
- Overall Condition – Regular inspections can give insight into the overall health of your plumbing system, allowing for preventative maintenance to be done and avoiding expensive repairs down the line.
Your drains can easily hide away issues, but with a professional video inspection from Zoom Drain of Rhode Island, you’ll know about drain or sewer trouble that may have otherwise gone unnoticed! Our team will then be able to complete the drain cleaning, repair, or other maintenance needed to get things flowing again.
How Often Do You Need a Drain Inspection?
While it's recommended that you schedule a drain inspection at least once every year as preventive maintenance, if you're experiencing problems with your drains or any warning signs of an issue (e.g., foul odors, slow drainage), you should schedule an inspection right away!

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.

-
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.

“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.”- Ron Gendron

“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.”- Paul

“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.”- Micah
