What to Expect With Our Commercial Drain Cleaning Services

We recommend getting your drain inspected and cleaned at least once a year. While everything might appear to be flowing fine, there could be significant buildup in your sewer line. Given the amount of wastewater flowing through your drains daily, it can eventually grow into a major clog.

Many businesses find that proactively addressing potential clogs saves time and prevents disruptions. The Zoom Drain process is efficient, ensuring minimal downtime for your operations. Regardless of your industry, downtime is costly, and routine checks can be a valuable investment.

If buildup or a clog is found, there’s two potential options: power snaking or water jetting.

If there’s noticeable buildup along the pipe walls, the best option is our Zoom Jetting® system. The high-pressure water hose maneuvers through the line, blasting water to completely clean out the inside of your drain. The pipe walls will be buildup free, helping to eliminate future clogs. If you’re dealing with a substantial clog, such as tree roots, our power snake can cut through it. The flexible, durable cable has a small blade on the end, breaking apart whatever is backed up.

Sacramento-Specific Drain Challenges: Climate & Infrastructure

The city's unique climate and aging infrastructure contribute significantly to the challenges faced in maintaining efficient drainage systems for commercial properties. Sacramento experiences hot, dry summers and wet winters, conditions that can exacerbate issues within drainage and sewer systems. During the rainy season, businesses are more susceptible to flooding and water accumulation, which can lead to increased sediment and debris blocking pipes. Regular drain cleaning becomes essential during these times to prevent potential business interruptions.

Additionally, Sacramento's infrastructure, with some parts over a century old, presents unique challenges. Older neighborhoods might face frequent pipe corrosion and collapse, leading to unexpected drainage problems. This historical aspect necessitates frequent checks and maintenance services, making professional drain care invaluable for the city’s commercial outlets. Understanding these local complexities allows Zoom Drain to tailor our services, ensuring we meet the demands of Sacramento’s business community efficiently.

FAQs About Commercial Drain Cleaning in Sacramento

How Often Should Commercial Drains Be Cleaned?

Regular drain maintenance is crucial for commercial properties due to the high volume of usage and the particular risk of buildup. It is generally advised to schedule professional cleaning services at least semi-annually to ensure that your drains remain functional and efficient. However, depending on the nature of your business, more frequent cleanings may be necessary. For industries such as restaurants or car washes, where grease and debris are more prevalent, quarterly services might be more appropriate. Regular assessments help identify potential issues before they escalate, ensuring your operations run smoothly with minimal disruptions.

What Are the Most Common Causes of Commercial Drain Clogs?

In commercial settings, clogs are frequently caused by the accumulation of grease, food particles, paper products, and foreign objects introduced into the drainage system. For example, restaurants often encounter grease buildup, while office buildings may deal with paper or other improper disposals. Additionally, natural causes such as tree roots can infiltrate sewer lines, causing significant blockages. Regular preventive maintenance, like the services offered by Zoom Drain, can mitigate these common issues. It’s essential for businesses to train their staff on proper disposal practices to help reduce the number of clogs and maintain an efficient plumbing system.

Are There Signs That Indicate Immediate Drain Cleaning Is Needed?

Surprisingly, some signs of needed drain cleaning can be subtle but are critical to addressing promptly. Frequent backups, unpleasant odors, gurgling sounds coming from drains, and slow draining are all indicators that immediate attention may be needed. Ignoring these issues could lead to more severe problems, including complete blockages that might disrupt business operations. Monitoring these warning signs and scheduling regular inspections with Zoom Drain can prevent costly repairs and unexpected downtimes.

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

    $1889.00
    “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.”

    Great guys. Great job!
    “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!”
    - Terry J
    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.”
