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.

“We contacted Zoom Drain to have a technician resolve an issue that a home inspector (for the buyer of our home) indicated need fixed in order to close on the sale of our home. Basically it was providing a high loop for the drain on our dishwasher. Kevin Brizuela quickly resolve the issue. He is a very pleasant gentleman and seemed knowledgeable about the trade. He desires a 10 for his arrival on time and quick and pleasant service . Thank you. Bob and Lana Brown”
