"The technicians were courteous, timely, efficient and clean. They showed up when they were scheduled to be there; did everything they told me they needed to do; let me know what was done and why; and cleaned up when they were finished. I got all the work done in one day and can finally use my washing machine again."

"Zoom Drain is a company that I would use again. I needed a gas line removed and a duct vent relocated in my laundry room, zoom drain came, assessed the job and gave me a reasonable price to fit the job. Jonathan was very professional and polite, he explained in detail what he would have to do how long the job would take and made sure he addressed all of my questions. I didn’t feel pressured to hire them on the spot, he allowed me time to speak to my husband and set a date for the job. Upon walking me through the job Jonathan pointed out to me plumbing problems that I had from work that another company had just done and I told him my concerns with the work that was done and with no questions asked he told me he would fix it for me. I really appreciate when I get workers who are honest and really want to do the job and do it correctly and this company has shown me that I can trust and count on them to do the job."

"My only complaint is I "thought" I had a service plan but at time of service was informed my plan was not auto renewing. I understand my service plan lapse was not my technician's fault. Moving on, I thought my emergency weekend call was responsibly priced and prompt. The clog was cleared within a half hour including clean up. I was able to purchase a new service plan during this service call and will be covered moving forward. I'm very satisfied and I was able to complete my laundry and dishes without further water backup."

Sewer Cleaning questions, answered by experts

In most cases, drain cleaners will not clear a clogged sewer line, and they’re likely to damage your plumbing. Sewer lines are several inches wide, meaning any material that clogs it will need to be large. Drain cleaner can work on small clogs, but it usually won’t clear a larger one in a sewer main. Drain cleaners can also easily damage and corrode your plumbing with prolonged contact, and a clog will keep the cleaner in contact with the pipes for an extended period. Hire a professional sewer cleaner instead for a safe fix.

As a preventative measure, hydro jetting should be done every one to two years. However, the best practice is to hydro jet your sewer line once per year. The ideal frequency depends on several factors, including the age and condition of your pipes, how prone they are to clogging, how often the sewer line is used, and the type of waste disposed of in the system. If you frequently experience clogs or are unsure, it's best to ask a licensed plumber for a recommendation specific to your plumbing system.

Some flushable wipes companies say they are designed to disintegrate within a few hours to a few days after being flushed. These wipes allegedly use materials that are more water-soluble than traditional wipes. However, many experts have raised concerns that even so-called "flushable" wipes do not break down as easily as claimed and can contribute to clogs and blockages in sewer systems.

To prevent plumbing and sewer problems, avoid flushing wipes, even those labeled as flushable. Instead, dispose of them in the trash. This can help prevent costly plumbing issues and reduce the strain on wastewater treatment systems.

There are several homemade solutions for clearing a clogged sink that don’t involve pouring harsh chemicals down your drain. Start by pouring hot (but not boiling) water down the drain. This can help dissolve and flush away grease and gunk. A splash of dish soap down the drain can also cut through fat and make it easier to clear the drain. For a more stubborn blockage, grab a plunger and give it a few firm pumps to dislodge the clog.

The best drain cleaners are biodegradable ones or a mixture of baking soda and vinegar. Strong, caustic chemicals may seem appealing with promises of unclogging your drain quickly, but liquid drain cleaners can cause damage to your pipes over time. Consider making your own drain cleaner with baking soda and vinegar.
