Dependable Drain And Sewer Inspections In Rocklin

If You’re Buying A Home, Don’t Inherit Wastewater Problems

When it comes to purchasing a property, a lot goes into ensuring there’s no significant issues, including a home inspection. One thing a home inspector doesn’t typically check, however, are sewers and drains but it’s an integral part of your property and if you don’t have a professional check out your lines before buying a home, you could inherit a whole lot of trouble. We often receive calls from new homeowners in Rocklin who are battling a backup, despite the toilets flushing normally and the sinks showing no sign of problems when they moved in months prior.

At Zoom Drain of Northern California, our video sewer inspection can show the current status of your wastewater lines, allowing us to see the smallest clog, crack or buildup that might be hiding. Our flexible metal cord, with a camera lens attached to the end, is able to move through 150 feet of even the hardest-to-reach places of your pipes and, after we’ve seen the problem in real-time, we’ll send you the video and photos for your records, in case you plan to sell in the near future. If we notice any major issues, we’ll explain the best solutions that suit your system’s needs.

Whether you’re buying a house or just want to get a recommended yearly inspection, give Zoom Drain of Northern California a call at (916) 545-8820 or schedule an appointment online.

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.

    “I was referred by a plumber who refers all of his service work to Zoom Drain. Two technicians, Kyle and Will, came out on a very rainy, windy afternoon and got right to work to discover the source of the sewer pipe clog. In 1947 there was no code requirement for a “clean out” so after they unclogged the drain they started to work digging the hole for the clean out. It kept filling up with water so plans were made for them to return another day to finish the job. By that time it was dark, but they never complained. Earlier that day I had paid a company $350 to camera snake the line and they proceeded to tell me they’d charge me $1850 to Hydro Jet the line clean, then I’d need to have them camera snake the line again, then pay them $5500 to install the clean out. It is unconscionable that so many companies are happy to over charge people and then offer to finance their unscrupulous behavior! Zoom Drain did everything for $1889.00! I will refer Zoom Drain to everyone I know if they encounter the same problems I had. After Kyle and Will left I felt I could breathe again knowing I had found a company with integrity that respects their customers. Do yourself a favor and support this business; you’ll be pleased you did.”

    “Maurice and Tyler were wonderful. They checked several things to determine the problem and fix it. Knowledgeable and good communicators. Thanks for your help guys!”

    Fabulous service
    “Kyle and Will arrived about 8:30pm and got right to work. Kyle informed me that the drain clog was on the City side of the line and I could call them for service. I commented that we had been without plumbing for 24 hours and needed the drain cleared. As a retired General Contractor, my knowledge of the trades showed me that these technicians were professional and efficient. I spent time talking with them as they worked and they were courteous, open about what was happening and showed me the video of root clogs that were the problem. After almost two hours, they packed up leaving us with a clear drain. I highly recommend Zoom Drain and that Kyle and Will are the service techs who arrive on your job.”
