Reach us at (804) 531-6481 or online for professional commercial drain repair services in Richmond and surrounding areas.
Innovative Zoom PowerPipe™ Solution for Drain Issues
For certain conditions, the Zoom PowerPipe™ trenchless method may be the best option. Also known as Pipe Bursting, this technique replaces old underground pipes with new ones of the same or larger diameter. It involves creating minimal entry and exit holes around the damaged pipe, pulling a splitting wedge through it with a steel cable, and employing a hydraulic puller to break the old pipe while laying down a new Polyethylene pipe in its place.
Advantages of Zoom PowerPipe™:
- Corrosion-proof Polyethylene pipe with zero leaks
- An impressive 100-year lifespan
- Root-proof and earthquake-resistant smooth interior
- Suitable for installation beneath concrete slab floors and foundations
- NSF/IAPMO-Certified system
Cost-Effective Zoom Pipe Relining Solution
Our Pipe Relining solution provides a cost-effective alternative to traditional trench methods, preserving the pipe's structural integrity. Using an epoxy liner and an inflatable sleeve, we cure the material to form a new pipe within the existing one.
Benefits of Zoom Pipe Relining:
- Seamless CIPP (cured-in-place pipe) liner for enhanced flow
- Over 50 years of design life, offering long-term value
- Molds to prevent leaks, root intrusion, and fit non-standard pipe shapes from 1.5 to 8 inches
- Suitable for installation under concrete slab floors and foundations
- NSF/IAPMO-Certified system
Essential Commercial Sewer Backflow Valve Installations
We also specialize in sewer backflow valve installations for commercial properties. A backflow or check valve is essential to prevent overflow from township or municipal sewers during heavy rains. While these situations are challenging, Zoom Drain of Richmond offers the necessary solutions to address and mitigate potential hazards.

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.

-
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.
