Commercial Drain & Sewer Inspection Houston | Zoom Drain
Precision Inspections to Keep Your Business Flowing
Drain and sewer issues can shut down your business, pose health risks and cost you downtime. At Zoom Drain of Houston, we offer commercial drain and sewer inspection services to detect problems early and keep your business running. With video cameras, odor detection tools and expert diagnostics we keep your system in top shape – minimizing surprises and maximizing peace of mind.
Why Regular Drain & Sewer Inspections?
Businesses in Houston – especially restaurants, hospitality, healthcare and industrial sites – face unique challenges:
- Grease buildup in kitchen and utility drains
- Root intrusion due to clay soils and mature landscaping
- Pipe corrosion or cracks from flood conditions and aging infrastructure
- Hidden leaks or odors affecting customer comfort and compliance
Regular inspections catch small issues – like root intrusion or grease accumulation – before they become big problems. This proactive approach saves you money, ensures compliance and protects your reputation.
Our Inspection Services
We use a two-tiered approach to diagnose drain and sewer issues:
1. High-Definition CCTV Video Inspection
- What it does: A waterproof camera goes through lines 2″ to 36″ in diameter, live video feed and recording.
- What it finds: Blockages, root growth, cracks, offset joints, corrosion and grease buildup.
- Why it matters: You get a transparent, real-time look inside your system – so you can make informed maintenance or repair decisions.
2. Odor Detection & Smoke Testing
- What it does: Introduces safe, non-toxic smoke into your drain lines to find leaks and odor sources.
- What it uncovers: Finds hard to see leaks, cracks in slabs or walls and hidden cleanout defects.
- Why it matters: Eliminates persistent odor issues and prevents hidden damage.

Our inspection process is designed for business operations:
- Consultation and Planning
We schedule inspections to minimize disruption – during off-peak hours, weekends or overnight if needed. - Live Video Inspection

Zoom Drain is a lifesaver. I had an unforeseen emergency (a palm tree was planted on top of the main sewer valve years ago, not by me). The roots of the palm tree had begun to tangle into the pipes and in the sewer line, causing my pipes to back up. Zoom Drain was contacted, and the technician, Douglas, who is fantastic, immediately assessed the problem correctly. The office manager, Allison, stayed in touch with me throughout the whole process. I would definitely recommend Zoom Drain for any plumbing issue. P.S. Yes, the palm had to be cut down. ☺️ Evett KellyEvett Kelly
Doug did a great job. Knowledgeable and friendly. Diligent and punctual until the work was done. Lots of integrity.Kevin and Janna
Ryan did a phenomenal job in discovering the issue I had with my drain and recommended the best reasonable solution. He cleaned the work area nicely.Albert Lastrapes
My old mid-century home has complex drain lines due to add-ons. Our plumber Donell spent time and effort to clean our clog and the pipe after using the snake, camera, and water pressure. He cleaned the area afterward. Thorough and professional. Thank you.Gabriel Huynh
We called Zoom Drain just a few days before our Christmas party when our kitchen sink backed up. Our plumber, Donell, was able to come out that same afternoon. He was very informative, answered all of our questions, and had the clog fixed quickly. He didn’t try to upsell us and clearly explained the possible fixes and costs before getting started. Their pricing was lower than Roto-Rooter, and they used a camera scope at no additional charge, which really helped us understand the issue. We were very impressed and will definitely use Zoom Drain again.Margaret S Williams
We had a clogged kitchen drain on a Saturday and were supposed to have people over for dinner that evening. Ryan with Zoom Drain came right away, was fast, pleasant, and extremely knowledgeable. I absolutely love the camera view showing what caused the drain to clog… who would’ve guessed eggshells!Chris S

Zoom Drain did an excellent job replacing my old cast iron pipes with PVC. It was a complex project, but Doug and Ryan managed it efficiently and professionally from start to finish. Their attention to detail and quality of work really stood out. I would highly recommend Zoom Drain to anyone in need of reliable plumbing services.Jack Thomeer
Doug did an excellent job. He was on time, figured out the problem, explained it clearly to me, and fixed the issue. This was an emergency call on a Sunday, and I was impressed with Zoom Drain that a person picked up the phone rather than having to leave a message for a call back.Maury Hebert
We were very impressed with Zoom Drain. I was able to make a same-day appointment. Doug showed up on time and was able to unclog the sewer line. He even double-checked to see if there were any breaks. Thankfully, no breaks. Will definitely use them in the future if needed.Seth Waldman

Ryan from Zoom Drain was amazing! He was on time, professional, and was transparent and upfront about the costs. Luckily for us, he was quickly able to fix our clog and cleaned up well after himself when he was done!

Doug was fast and professional. Way to go!Tamina Gartley
