Michele Lion
We were experiencing exterior drainage issues that were causing water to leak into our backyard shed as well as flood the garage through a concrete block wall. We called several companies to come out and provide a quote for the necessary work. Devon from Zoom Drain was the first available to quote as well as perform the work. We were impressed with his level of knowledge, his empathy to our situation, as well as the honest and objective feedback he provided to a few solutions that were available. Devon and his team were able to come out just a few days later, prior to the next heavy rains, and properly seal the problem area while installing new French drains. We purposely waited a few days to write this review. We wanted to see how Devon’s proposed solution was going to perform. Needless to say, the heavens opened up last night with torrential downpours and all of our previous problem areas stayed dry. We are thoroughly pleased with the work that was performed and would happily recommend Devon and his team to anyone needing exterior drainage mitigation.
Karl Stewart
After-hours call for a drain stopped up. Communication was great and they arrived shortly before 9 p.m. I was amazed with the level of professionalism and the cost of the total service. Matthew is a great representative of the company, and I would gladly welcome him back for any future service needs.
Jerden Hunley
Matt was super professional and informative. Would recommend this company in a heartbeat.
Joey Ladnier
Devin and Matt were knowledgeable, informative, and courteous. The drain was extremely difficult to unclog, and they hung in there and did an exceptionally good job. I highly recommend them and Zoom.
Lynn Peterson
Great experience. They were very honest about my situation, and although it was out of their scope of practice, they gave me suggestions on what needed done.
Ginny Lane Kelly
The entire experience was a real positive one. They walked me through the different options to take care of the drainage issue. They also made us aware of any potential issues with the design we had thought of, which was great.
John Pender
Matt and Devin were expedient, knowledgeable, and got the job done with no hassle.
Jason Jones
Zoom Drain was great! They are very respectful and kind. Our 8-year-old sump pump that was installed by a company that is no longer in business was making a terrible sound. They came out and checked it for free. We determined that it was at the end of its life, and they replaced it for a very reasonable price. I will definitely use them again.
Kerrie Nelson
Zoom Drain was fast, honest, knowledgeable and experienced. Matt and Devin worked quickly and took the time to educate and explain our situation thoroughly to me. I believe I saved money by going with Zoom Drain from the beginning. I am glad they had the 24/7 phone line. I was able to call at 9 p.m. to understand if we were looking at an emergency or could wait till the next day. That said, Matt and Devin were here before lunchtime that next day.
Megan Teeter
Great experience! Spoke with owner initially instead of a computer. Scheduled a jet service with camera. They are the only ones that were eager to take the job. Highly recommended.
Mike Howard
Zoom Drain of Knoxville Lucas (owner) as well as Matt (technician) provided a home drain inspection service utilizing advanced camera equipment which gave us instant results as well as providing us with a written evaluation for our records. We really valued their personal and honest approach, the fact that they were dealing with uninformed homeowners concerning septic/drainage system requirements, limitations and potential problems, the work done actually generated their minimum quoted fee for service—an outstanding and appreciated situation for folks both retired and having a relatively fixed income. In the future, should any issues arise, we would not hesitate to call Zoom Drain of Knoxville again. Mike & Sandie Jacob, June 2026
Sandra Jacob
The technician Matthew was very professional and courteous. Zoom Drain scheduled my service while I was on vacation through text messages, as we had no cell service. Awesome company to work with.
Jason Jones
Responsive, timely, helpful, insightful, knowledgeable. Took the time to go the extra mile for us. Easy to work with and competitive rates.
