Commercial Drain Cleaning in Houston, TX

Solutions for High-Volume Drains

At Zoom Drain of Houston, we specialize in commercial drain cleaning for businesses that use a lot—no matter what kind of business you have. Whether you’re a restaurant, retail center, office complex or industrial facility, clogged drains can stop your business in its tracks, affect customer experience and even violate health codes. Our team uses hydro jetting and camera inspection technology to get the job done fast, effective and long lasting for Houston businesses.

Why Commercial Drain Cleaning Matters

Houston businesses face unique challenges:

  • Grease loads from kitchens, cafeterias and food prep areas
  • Stormwater and sediment overwhelming floor and catch basin drains after heavy rain
  • Tree root intrusion in underground lines near landscaped properties
  • Frequent backups, odors and potential health code violations

Standard snaking may clear a simple clog but doesn’t restore full flow or prevent repeats. Our commercial grade hydro jetting blasts through grease, roots, scale and debris—cleaning the entire pipe interior for true performance.

Our Commercial Drain Cleaning Services

High-Pressure Hydro Jetting

We have industrial grade machines (up to 4,000 PSI, 18 GPM) to deliver powerful jetting that:

  • Removes hardened grease, fat and organic buildup
  • Cuts through tree roots
  • Clears mineral scale and sediment deposits
  • Flushes foreign debris and compacted materials

Results include restored flow capacity, fewer backups and a healthier, odor free environment.

Video Camera Inspections

We perform CCTV inspections before and after cleaning to:

  • Locate clogs, assess pipe condition and confirm debris removal
  • Identify hidden issues like cracks, offsets or root intrusion
  • Capture and deliver inspection footage for your records

This ensures transparency and accuracy—no guessing, just diagnostics.

Benefits for Houston Businesses

  • Maximized flow capacity—reduces call backs and slowdowns between services
  • Extended pipe life—removes corrosive buildup that damages pipes over time
  • Code compliance—perfect for restaurants and commercial kitchens with grease trap regulations
  • Environmentally friendly—uses only high pressure water, no chemicals or excavation
  • Minimal disruption—most jobs can be done off hours

Signs Your Business Needs Drain Cleaning

If you notice any of the following, it’s time to act:

  • Grease related backups in sinks or floor drains
  • Foul or sewer like odors near kitchen or utility areas
  • Gurgling or bubbling when multiple fixtures are in use
  • Backups during or after rain—stormwater infiltration
  • Root related blockages in landscaped waste removal lines
  • Routine snaking doesn’t fix recurring clogs

When sized right for your business use, professional drain cleaning can prevent emergencies and maintain compliance.

FAQs

How often should commercial drains be cleaned?  
It depends on your business type: kitchens and food prep areas may need quarterly or monthly cleaning, while retail spaces often require semi-annual or annual service.

Is hydro jetting safe for older pipes?  
Yes—after a preliminary camera assessment. We confirm pipe integrity before jetting begins.

How long does a cleaning take?  
Most commercial lines are cleared within a few hours. For larger systems, multiple lines can be scheduled sequentially.

Will it stop roots permanently?  
It removes existing roots. For long term control we recommend periodic maintenance or installing root barrier systems.

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.
