Sewer Line Replacement Sacramento

Understanding the Importance of Timely Sewer Line Replacement

A functioning sewer line is crucial for maintaining a healthy home environment. Over time, sewer lines can deteriorate due to various factors, including age, tree root intrusion, and blockages from debris. In Sacramento’s older neighborhoods, these problems are more common due to the aged infrastructure. Recognizing the early signs of sewer line issues is essential to prevent costly repairs and ensure the safety and cleanliness of your property. Common indicators include foul odors, slow drainage, gurgling noises, and frequent backups. Addressing these issues promptly can save you from more severe damage and disruption.

Additionally, if left unchecked, minor sewer problems can quickly escalate into emergencies requiring significant interventions. Burst pipes can lead to flooding, property damage, and health hazards due to exposure to raw sewage. Therefore, acting swiftly when you notice signs of trouble can protect your investment in your property and contribute to a healthier living environment for your family.

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.”
