Commercial Pipe Milling and Descaling in Portland, ME

Maintaining commercial sewer systems is a critical process that requires specialized equipment and techniques. At Zoom Drain of New England, we have powerful pipe cleaning machines that can handle any commercial sewer issues. Our pipe milling and descaling services will clear the toughest blockages and smooth out the pipe lining, resulting in a perfectly flowing system!

What is Pipe Milling?

Pipe milling is a specialized technique used to clear severe obstructions and scale build-up from pipes, especially in commercial sewer systems. At Zoom Drain of New England, we use advanced pipe milling equipment to tackle hardened debris, tree roots, and mineral deposits that can significantly impact the flow and function of commercial drainage systems. This method uses a rotating, high-power cutting head that grinds away blockages and scales from within the pipe walls, restoring the line's original diameter.

Unlike basic drain cleaning, pipe milling is ideal for heavy-duty applications where traditional methods fall short. It’s particularly effective in commercial properties with extensive pipe networks, such as restaurants, warehouses, or hospitals, where uninterrupted drainage is critical. By effectively restoring pipes, pipe milling not only improves flow but also extends the life of the sewer system. For a dependable solution to tough blockages, reach out to Zoom Drain of New England!

CONCRETE AND BUILDING MATERIALS

If concrete or another building material got into your sewer line during home renovation or other DIY projects, the only choice was to replace the entire pipe. Now the technology and equipment used by our trenchless sewer repair company can remove hardened concrete and material to open your sewer line.

TREE ROOTS & GREASE

Nearby tree roots often grow into sewer pipes feeding on the nutrient rich waste. This is particularly common at the joints of pipes. While many companies suggest replacing the entire sewer line, our in-house sewer pipe milling can often remove the blockage without trenches and pipe replacement. Pipe milling used to remove tree roots saves you time and money and our trenchless sewer repair team can line the pipe after, sealing out the roots so they do not grow back.

Smooth Rust & Scale with Pipe Descaling

Over the years, cast iron sewer pipes rust and scale builds up creating a rough surface that catches waste and debris, causing messy sewage backups. Sewer pipe milling can resurface the cast iron, making it smooth again. This is also the best tool to prep lines for installing CIPP liners.

We had an excellent experience with Johnny from Zoom Drain! He was extremely friendly, professional, and thorough from start to finish. He cleaned out our pipes all the way to the street and did an outstanding job. I especially appreciated that he wore booties in the house—even going up and down the stairs—which shows how respectful he is of customers’ homes. Johnny was also able to stay longer to complete an extra jet power wash and run a camera through the line to help us understand our next steps. His attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile made a huge difference. Highly recommend Johnny and Zoom Drain! Exceptional service all around.

Pete Connell
I’ve used this service over the past decade to clear out roots from the main sewer line between the house and the city line. Zoom Drain has always been on time and completed the work within a timely basis. Their technicians are knowledgeable, easily explain the options available, and spell out the results once finished. For the amount of work that has been required (camera inspection and clearing/cleaning of the line), I find Zoom Drain’s rates are reasonable and within market prices.
