Common Impacts of Root Intrusion

Root intrusion occurs when tree roots penetrate sewer lines through small cracks or joints. Sewer pipes carry nutrient-rich water that attracts roots, making them a prime target for growth. Over time, the roots expand within the pipes, leading to severe blockages and pipe damage.

  • Clogged Sewer Lines: Roots trap debris and grease, obstructing wastewater flow.
  • Cracked or Collapsed Pipes: Expanding roots can create fractures or even destroy the pipe structure.
  • Sewage Backups: Blocked pipes cause wastewater to flow back into your home.

Root intrusion isn’t just an inconvenience; it threatens your plumbing system’s integrity and functionality. It's crucial to address it promptly with professional root intrusion repair services.

Amazing service from Zoom Drain. We had a horribly clogged kitchen sink and the backwater was flowing out of our washing machine drain pipe. A nightmare to wake up to. We called a few places and Zoom Drain had immediate availability and sent Dan, who is an expert in his trade! He was knowledgeable and efficient, and gave us tips on how to properly use a garbage disposal and how to check water flow outside of our house. We will absolutely be calling them again for future drain and sewer issues. Highly recommend Zoom Drain!

Randy
Just had my gutter and driveway drains looked at, no work necessary.
Chris Corso
We had Zoom out to clear out rain drains. Our tech, Caiden, started by attempting to clear the line from the street end. That’s when we found out the line was filled with concrete. Not mud and leaves and sticks… concrete. We just moved into the home a few months ago, and we knew the drains were overflowing next to the foundation… and the front step and sidewalk had been recently re-poured… so we’re thinking maybe they broke into the line when they were digging it out to pour the new sidewalk, and it seeped in and hardened. Ugh! Caiden wasn’t phased. He went to the inlet under the gutter, and after some serious water jetting the water stopped coming back out, and we could hear it draining from the other side. It seems at some point the rain drains were tied into the sewer? We ran our hose in the other drains and confirmed they were good. I could not have had a more frightening and then perfect result. I got to talk to Caiden while he worked, and I have to say this young man has it together! I wish I knew half as much when I was his age. Excellent communication before, en route, and throughout. Professionalism and punctuality. My favorites. I don’t really do reviews, but I will for this company. Excellent all around.
Kevin Graef
Caiden was very professional and extremely courteous, and knew exactly what needed to be done.
Carol Parker
Zoom Drain is the BEST!!! We’ve had an ongoing sewer line issue for about a year that had been looking like an extremely expensive fix. We had been working with multiple companies to get quotes, and Phil at Zoom Drain was easily the most responsive of all of the companies we had spoken with. He was so quick to respond and was so eager to help, and with the help of Alfonso and Adam (truly the A team!!!) they were able to come up with a much less invasive solution to our problem at a fraction of the cost. Within a week of reaching out for help, it was fixed. To top it off, after they finished the repair, they left some toys for our dog, and they’re her new favorite toys now.
Brina Marshall
Adam did a great job completing the repair work on my drain. He is a credit to the company. He provided clear, knowledgeable information, was available for questions, and left everything very tidy. I was very impressed with the quality of the entire team who did the job. Hats off to the management for their ability to hire quality staff. Best regards, Fran
Fran Moga
Caiden was great. He explained how things worked very clearly. He also checked if we qualified to get 10% off. After talking to our son about what he did trying to fix, Caiden was able to correctly diagnose the problem without even touching our drain and gave options on how to fix to save us money. Thank you, Caiden.
Angel Blue
Dan and Adam did an excellent job and cleared our drain. They also recommended a plumber to perform the long term solution for our leaking drain line. They were easy to follow and made sure we approved the work and price before starting. The communication for the scheduled appointment was also great and appreciated.
Mike M
Caiden was very professional. He explained and gave a quote before starting work. He also disinfected the floor after he completed clearing the drain. I am a very happy camper. Thanks, Zoom, for your quick response.
Angela McEntee
Got a next-morning appointment for standing water in the sink. Pricing was easy to understand and reasonable for the skill and equipment needed. Went above my expectations in protecting the floor and cabinets.
