Commercial Drain & Sewer Inspection Services in Houston, TX

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.

Inspection Process – Simple, Fast, Effective

Our inspection process is designed for business operations:

  1. Consultation and Planning 
    We schedule inspections to minimize disruption – during off-peak hours, weekends or overnight if needed.
  2. Live Video Inspection 
    Our technician runs the camera through your drain or sewer lines, monitoring live and recording for later review.3. Odor or Leak Testing (If Needed) 
    We smoke test to confirm leaks and isolate odor sources.
  3. Post-Inspection Review 
    You get a detailed report and video footage of any issues.
  4. Recommendations and Follow-Up 
    We recommend cleaning, repairs or maintenance and can integrate with your ongoing service plans.

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.
