Protect Your Home with Expert Sewer Care

When your home’s sewer line isn’t flowing as it should, it can quickly lead to frustrating—and costly—problems. At Zoom Drain of Birmingham, we specialize in keeping your sewer line clean, clear, and functioning at its best. Our team of certified drain and sewer experts is available 24/7 for emergency services, so you never have to wait when issues arise.

The Importance of Regular Sewer Cleaning

Your home’s sewer line works hard every day, carrying wastewater away from your sinks, toilets, showers, and appliances. Over time, grease, debris, tree roots, and mineral deposits can build up inside the pipes, restricting flow and increasing the risk of clogs or backups. Regular sewer cleaning helps prevent these problems before they start.

By keeping your sewer line clean, you can:

  • Reduce the risk of messy, expensive backups
  • Prevent foul odors from escaping into your home
  • Extend the lifespan of your plumbing system
  • Maintain smooth, uninterrupted drainage throughout your home

Think of sewer cleaning as preventative care for your home’s plumbing—it keeps things running smoothly and helps you avoid sudden, stressful plumbing emergencies.

Our Process

We take a thorough, professional approach to every sewer cleaning service, using the latest technology to deliver results you can trust. Here’s what you can expect:

  • Initial Video Inspection: We begin by inserting a specialized camera into your sewer line to assess the condition of the pipes, locate any buildup or blockages, and ensure we target the problem areas accurately.
  • Hydro Jetting with Zoom Jetting™: Once we’ve identified the issue, we use our state-of-the-art Zoom Jetting™ system to deliver a powerful blast of high-pressure water. This process clears out grease, sludge, tree roots, and debris, restoring your sewer line to optimal flow without using harsh chemicals.
  • Post-Cleaning Assessment: After cleaning, we perform a final video inspection to confirm the sewer line is completely clear and in good condition. We’ll walk you through the results so you can feel confident in the health of your plumbing system.

Signs You May Need Sewer Cleaning

Not sure if it’s time to schedule a cleaning? Watch for these common warning signs:

  • Frequent or recurring drain clogs
  • Slow drainage in multiple fixtures
  • Gurgling sounds coming from your drains
  • Sewage odors inside or outside your home

If you’ve noticed any of these issues, it could indicate a blockage or buildup in your sewer line. Acting quickly can help prevent more serious problems down the road.

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.
