What Causes a Residential Sewer Drain to Clog?
One of the most prominent and common issues that can affect your home’s sewer system is a sewer line clog. All sorts of things can end up down the drains of your home that never should have been washed away in the first place. Too much abuse from little items over time can result in a severe clogging problem deep in the pipes.
Three common culprits behind sewer line clogs are:
- Nondegradable waste: The toilets and sinks throughout your home can seem like a super convenient way to get rid of all types of trash, but it is essential to remember that they are not trashcans. Do not put anything that cannot be dissolved readily in water into your toilet or down the sink. Even commonplace napkins can be durable enough to form a clog.
- Cooking grease: When you are done cooking anything that produces grease, like bacon in the skillet each morning, avoiding putting the grease down the sink at all costs. Cooking grease and oils will clog your sewer line before you know it. Instead, pour the grease into a tin can that you can throw away in a trashcan once it cools.
- Large quantities of food waste: When you use your garbage disposal, place food waste into it slowly and gradually. Do not clump large amounts of food in your garbage disposal at once. The garbage disposal may be able to push the food waste down the pipe, but it can still develop into a clog when it hits the sewer line later on.

You typically get reviews from people when they just got work done, and you can only measure it by that time frame. This review, on the other hand, is not that. Zoom Drain came to replace my sewer line in 2017, yes 2017. When flushing the toilet, the water would spill into the basement, so I would have to clean up the water and whatever else came with it. Needless to say, I was not a happy camper. I called Zoom Drain, and they came to the rescue. It’s been so long, but I believe it was James who came and was so professional and had great customer service. His team was amazing. They fixed the line and cleaned out. Fast forward to 2025, it is still working properly. I have no issues. I'm so pleased. Please use them because their work is amazing.Fancy Belle
Zoom Drain replaced my main sewer line, 1/8/25. 50 feet of new pipe, as well as replaced a fitting on my water heater that was leaking and the flex line (gas), which if they were not knowledgeable, I would have never have caught. They noticed it was slowly leaking natural gas. James came out for sewer line estimate, and informed me on everything that needed to be done. I was stressed because I hate dealing with my insurance company. However, Allison in the office took over all of that stress and dealt with my insurance company directly. I did receive another estimate from another company, and Zoom was cheaper by 3200.00. I had no issues with the 3-man crew that was sent to do my sewer line and the man who fixed the inside gas issue I had, (thank God he noticed it!!!!!) was wonderful. They even called to check in on me a week later which is why I'm leaving this review because I feel like they really did go above and beyond.James Potter
As a plumber, I hate to call another plumber (I don't specialize in drain cleaning), but I must say I appreciate the customer service I was provided. I can also say that I met three technicians that are qualified individuals. Thanks for your help Zoom Drain. From one plumber to another, y'all rock!Richard keefer
5 stars on customer service unclogging my bathroom sink, fair price, also I would recommend them to everyone.Jeff Burnette
Rafael and Carlos arrived within a few hours to deal with a clogged toilet that was leaking water into the room below. Quick, efficient, and kind. (And not expensive!) Highly recommend.Christie St. Clair
I cannot say enough great things about James and his team at Zoom Drain. From the first time we used their services, we were very much pleased with their work. James and his team were able to diagnose a major problem in our church plumbing and provided a solution. If you ever need a reliable plumbing service, absolutely without a doubt give Zoom Drain a call. James and his team will not disappoint you! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!Sherrie Miller
