Meet The Owner Of Zoom Drain Austin
Texas Born And Raised, Building A Foundation In a New City
Zoom Drain of Austin is proudly owned and operated by Daniel Mays, an alumnus of Vanderbilt University with a background in engineering science. For the majority of his young career, Mays specialized in Robotic Automation Process, taking mundane, often time-consuming, office tasks and automating them, working for well-established brands across the financial services, insurance, and automotive sectors.

Now, Mays begins a new chapter in his life and career, building a franchise and home in Austin.
“Austin has so many kinds of personalities and it’s an exploding city with so much excitement,” said Mays.“One thing I’m thrilled about with Zoom Drain is that I’m planting my roots and seeds in Austin. It’s a location that has always been one of the most exciting places in Texas!”
A Texas native, growing up nearby in San Antonio while also spending time living in Dallas, Mays was tired of a life that consistently saw him on the move, living from a suitcase. He knew it was time to call somewhere home and after a recent trip to Texas’ capital city, he’d found it!
“Working remotely has kept me on the go, without a specific home, for well over a year now. With this new endeavor and new city, to have a rooted homebase, to build both my personal life and my Zoom Drain franchise, it is something that’s really got me excited,” Mays admitted.
Mays thrives when pushed outside of his comfort zone. It’s how he managed to conquer a fear of heights and climb the Grand Teton Mountains and how he conquers anything in life. Combine that with a passion for hands-on learning environments and a deeply-rooted desire to handle day-to-day operations and decisions, something he was unable to do in prior roles, and it’s clear Mays is ready to start writing the next chapter of his life, one that include the trades – one that will show Austin that, when it comes to drains and sewers, he’s the person you should trust.
“I love the idea of building out this team and this culture and this little family,” Mays added. “I want Austin to know they’re in good hands and that they’re going to be taken care of. We’re going to show up on time and take care of you – it's going to be a seamless process.”

J.C. was very professional and did an excellent job. Everything was done correctly and within a reasonable time. I would definitely recommend their service.Kristina Krueger
I’m a realtor with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices and met my client at their soon-to-be new home off 489 Bridgestone Way in Buda, Texas. We hired Zoom Drain to come and view the sewer lines and clear any buildup. J.C. was our technician who not only was extremely professional and thorough, but had an outstanding personality and got along with my client great. We could not be more proud. Highly recommend the company. Ask for J.C. :)Jess Gibson
Zoom Drain was able to schedule someone quickly to come out. The technician J.C. did a great job. His service was prompt, friendly, and thorough. I would use their services again.Kara W

JC and Ty were awesome and speedy, with great communication replacing our septic pump. Highly recommended!Jason S
Both technicians were very knowledgeable, very thorough, and finished in a timely fashion. Would definitely recommend using Zoom again. CJ and his partner were great!Chris Bazemore
I was referred to Zoom Drain by my regular plumber, who was booked up. I called in the evening and they came out early the next morning to fix a stopped-up sink drain. Communications by phone and text were good. The technician, Jordan, was nice and outlined options for how to fix the problem. The work was done efficiently and is warrantied. All working now and cleaned up. Recommended.Miriam
J.C. has come out twice in a few months, and he’s the reason we will keep calling these guys. He’s professional, helpful, super friendly, and my dog loves him too.Michele
The service representative was professional, pleasant, focused on the job at hand, and didn’t try to upsell me on unnecessary work. He kept me informed and did the job smoothly and fairly quickly. I would call on Zoom Drains again in the future and would recommend them to others.Chi Lee
We had a clogged septic tank causing sewage to back up through the bathrooms. Zoom Drain came out very quickly and pumped/unclogged the tank, taking care of the issue. I’m very grateful for how quickly they came and their pricing was actually much less than I expected it to be. Will be using them from now on if we have any issues in the future!Tristan Pulido
They came out and were professional and made our job easier.Ralph Aguirre
Great job! Came out same day to fix our septic system. Super patient with all of our questions.Megan Kennedy
I had my septic emptied in January and had to call Zoom Drain again. They were kind enough to send Austin out in a hurry due to an inspection for the sale of my home. They also were generous enough to offer to send out other professionals to fix any issues if the inspection fails. I totally recommend this company. The owner himself will call you with any concerns; that's quite exceptional!Jae Sanchez
We have a rental property that was having a clogged drain issue. I called several plumbers over the course of a day, most of whom didn't get back to me. I was finally recommended to Zoom Drains, called them at 3 p.m., they had someone to the property by 4:30 and were done in about 45 minutes. Amazing service. They were lifesavers!Paula Simchak
