At Zoom Drain of Houston, we offer professional pump repair and replacement services for Houston’s unique plumbing needs. Whether it’s a sewer ejector pump, lift station, basement pump, or stormwater sump, our certified techs are available 24/7 to diagnose, repair or install a new system. We serve homeowners, property managers and commercial clients with top quality solutions to get your drainage back to normal and prevent costly backups.
Why Pump Systems Matter in Houston Homes & Businesses
Pumps are necessary when gravity isn’t enough to move wastewater or stormwater away from your property. In Houston, with its low lying areas, high water tables and frequent rain, pump systems are crucial for:
Basements and lower level bathrooms
Underground sewer ejector systems
Submersible sump pumps for crawl spaces or foundations
Commercial lift stations in restaurants, multi-unit buildings and industrial facilities
Neglecting pump maintenance or repair can result in flooding, sewer backups, bad odors or structural damage especially during heavy storms.
Common Pump Issues We Fix
Our experienced techs can diagnose and repair a wide range of pump related problems in residential and commercial systems:
Pump failure due to wear, age or power supply issues
Pump running continuously, float, switch or misalignment issues
Noisy pump, bearing, motor or housing problems
Pump cycling on/off rapidly, wear and short pump life
Switch malfunction (float, pressure or control controls)
Clogged discharge lines, blocks or impellers due to debris or grease
Ignoring these issues can result in sewer backups, flooded basements or failed drainage systems.
Our Pump Repair & Replacement Process
1. Comprehensive Diagnostic Inspection
We start by inspecting your pump system—pump, float switch, check valve, discharge piping and control panel. We verify pump capacity, voltage and backup systems. If needed we also perform flow or pressure tests to pinpoint the issue.
2. Quick and Accurate Repair
Once we identify the problem we provide upfront options: repair, rebuild or replace. Our techs handle:* Motor replacement or refurbishment
Float and switch alignments
Bearing and seal replacements
Cleaning or replacing impellers
Fixing or installing check valves
Repairing electrical components for optimal performance
Most are fixed quickly and pump is back to normal.
3. Replacement or New Installations
When replacement is the best option we help you choose the right pump type and capacity. We install:
Submersible sump and sewage ejector pumps
Pedestal-style or duplex pump systems
Battery backup or high-water alarm systems
Pit liners and basin modifications if needed
All installations meet Houston building codes and manufacturer recommendations.
4. Commissioning & Testing
After repair or installation we test the system under multiple conditions—normal usage, high flow and potential power outages. We adjust settings and confirm operation.
5. Preventive Maintenance & Warranty
We offer maintenance plans that include periodic inspections, performance testing, cleaning and float alignment. Many pumps come with manufacturer warranties which we register and honor. Planned maintenance reduces downtime and extends pump life.

Zoom did a great job on both my home and my in-law's home. Courteous, professional, and very transparent on the process and findings. I would highly recommend to friends and neighbors. 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.

Zoom Drain Houston did a great job fixing a sewer backup caused by roots in my sewer line. The tech showed me the problem with a camera, cleared the drain, and gave a fair estimate for repair. 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!
