Sewer & Drain Pump Solutions

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.

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.
