At Zoom Drain of Houston, we know the best way to avoid costly repairs is to prevent them in the first place. Regular maintenance of your drain and sewer system helps you avoid emergencies, extend the life of your pipes and keep your property running smoothly. Whether you own a home, restaurant or commercial building our scheduled maintenance programs are tailored to your unique needs and budget.
Why Maintenance Matters in Houston
Houston’s climate, clay soil and tree rich landscaping creates the perfect conditions for drain issues:
Tree roots growing into underground pipes
Soil shifting that causes pipe offsets and cracks
Heavy rain events that push debris and sediment into drainage systems
Grease buildup in kitchen drains in residential and restaurant settings
By being proactive with maintenance you can avoid costs, disruptions and damage caused by clogged or failing lines.
Core Maintenance Services We Offer
Scheduled Hydro Jetting
How it works: Up to 4,000 PSI of water pressure scrubs pipe interiors, clearing grease, scale, roots and debris.
How often:
Residential: Every 12–24 months
Commercial kitchens/grease systems: Quarterly or biannually
Properties near mature trees: Annually
Benefits: Thorough cleaning, longer lasting clear pipes and eco-friendly results without harsh chemicals.
Video Inspection & Monitoring
We use high-resolution CCTV to re-assess pipe condition and confirm maintenance success.
You receive upfront footage and documentation so you always know what’s going on underground.
This helps detect early issues—like root intrusion or small cracks—before they become costly.
Grease Trap Cleaning & Maintenance
For restaurants and food-service facilities we remove accumulated fats, oils and grease from traps.
Regular cleaning reduces backups, foul odors and compliance issues with health regulations.
Sediment & Debris Flushing
Floor drains, storm drains and outdoor drains can collect leaves, dirt and trash.
We flush these systems to prevent slow drainage, backups or structural ponding.
Customized Maintenance Plans
We create maintenance schedules—and send reminders—that fit your property’s needs.
You’ll get personalized recommendations based on inspection findings and historical performance.
You Need Maintenance—Not Just Repairs You don’t need a full outage or emergency to benefit from scheduled maintenance. Watch for common warning signs:
Slow drains in multiple fixtures
Unfamiliar or recurring odors in the kitchen or laundry area
Visible grease or fat hanging in kitchen pipes
Gurgling sounds when sinks or appliances run
Yard or outdoor drain backup after heavy rain
If you see any of these, consider maintenance before a complete clog or sewer backup occurs.

FAQs
How often should residential pipes be serviced? We recommend hydro jetting and inspection every 12–24 months for most homes. Heavy use or older pipes may require more frequent care.
Do commercial grease traps need a different schedule? Yes—greasy systems usually benefit from quarterly to biannual cleanings, depending on usage. Proper maintenance helps avoid violations and backups.
Is maintenance better than reactive repairs? Absolutely. Proactive maintenance helps prevent emergencies, reduces repair costs and preserves pipes longer than emergency-only service.
What if you find major issues during maintenance? We’ll notify you immediately, provide diagnostic footage and offer quotes for repair options—whether it’s spot repairs, relining or excavation.

They may not be the cheapest, but you get what you pay for. The way I see it: It's inevitable to get a bill, but you should at least know what you're paying for and that it's done right.

Honest, professional, and reasonably priced—highly recommend for drain cleaning and sewer line repair in Houston.
Bennett Anderson
My kitchen sink was draining super slow because of the grease clogging in the drainage line. I googled the service providers in my area and decided to call Zoom Drain after going through a long list of the providers. I am glad that at the end of the day, I didn't have any regret for my selection. Extremely satisfactory service from the start to the finish! Mr. Donell was prompt, professional, and courteous. Besides Saturday, he came in a very reasonable time after I booked the service. He helped me out to get me a discount on the quote for the repair. Donell was friendly, reasonable, and informative in every aspect of the work done. He spent almost 2 hours to clear the clog and showed the water running to me with camera video and gave his professional advice based on the status of the drain line. Donell came in with shoe sleeves, mat, and towels to lay at the working area, which kept the house clean. He removed every obstacle himself and put them back as they were originally. I could never feel that any dirty work was done there except the smell, which was obvious. Thanks Zoom Drain and Donell for taking good care of fixing my issue.

What really stood out was his friendly attitude and willingness to answer questions. It’s clear he takes pride in his work and cares about doing the job right the first time. I would highly recommend Zoom Drain to anyone looking for a reliable, honest, and skilled plumber. Great experience from start to finish!
