Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can you clear a clogged bathtub in Portland?

We strive to provide same-day or next-day service for most bathtub drain cleaning requests in Portland, depending on when you call and where your home is located. Busier periods or challenging property access may affect timing, but we always explain what’s possible. If you have an urgent problem, mention this during your initial call, and we’ll prioritize your service whenever possible. Fast, reliable help is a core focus for our team.

Will you have to open my pipes or remove my tub?

Most clogs in Portland can be cleared without opening pipes or removing the bathtub. We use specialized equipment that usually solves the problem through the existing drain. In rare cases—such as if pipes have collapsed or there is a severe obstruction—extra steps may be required. If so, we explain the options and confirm your approval before moving forward.

What causes most bathtub clogs in Portland homes?

In Portland, bathtub clogs are most often caused by hair, soap buildup, and sometimes narrowing in old pipes. Local water properties and certain bath products contribute, especially in historic neighborhoods. We identify what’s happening in your tub and provide suggestions to help reduce future risk.

Can I prevent future bathtub clogs after your service?

Yes. During our visit, we share simple, practical habits that fit your routine. A quality drain cover, running hot water, and watching out for certain products can help. We tailor our advice to your specific setup and use, focusing on Portland’s plumbing conditions.

Taylor
I hired another company to do a pre-inspection scope of my mainline sewer. The first company couldn't get the camera through what they were calling a house trap. I panicked after having seeing prior issues in friends and other places that I had owned. I called Zoom Drain and they were out same day and even fit me in a couple hours after calling [which is unheard of nowadays]. The staff in the office was amazing and they sent over a tech that had very advanced knowledge of sewer systems and quickly got to work and did a tremendously good job explaining, documenting, and recording. Got through the sewer and found a defect in the sewer. Zoom Drain quickly sent over a estimate for a repair so that I could accurately negotiate, which I was able to do well with the amazing investigative service that was done by the tech that was sent! Long story short, 2 very professional, hard working, and quality-driven install techs named Noah and Aiden came to my house to do a process that they called lining. In this stressful time these 2 guys knew what they were doing. They were obviously very well trained and did a wonderful job fixing my problem. I feel confident to inquire to all my friends that when it comes to your sewer trouble that Zoom Drain is the company to call! Thank you to the ladies in the office, the tech that came to do my sewer scope, the amazing staff that quickly drew me a estimate, and especially to Noah and Aiden for doing such a great job. I can now rest easy knowing my basement is safe! Thank you all!
Rob Melanson
For the time they spent, it was reasonable. They have a lot more equipment at their disposal and work as a team! I recommend Rooter Rooter over any other company! Don't waste $$ on other companies that leave you hanging like I did! That's why I'm writing a review now. Good luck. By the way, I'm located in Lewiston, ME.
Kelly D'pickles!
Evan openly communicated everything that he was doing and what he thought could be the problem. We walked through everything step-by-step together, and the whole time Evan told me what my options were and what they meant. He was very helpful in finding and fixing the problem. He was also very knowledgeable on ways to prevent the problem from reoccurring much quicker. Evan was quick to fix the issue but did not rush through his explanation of things. He was very friendly and polite. I am very happy with the visit I received today. I would recommend this company and would call again if I needed repairs in the future.

Rob was awesome. I had a nightmare scenario where my sewer pipe backed up into my house. Even though the job went from 01:30 to 05:00, Rob was attentive, diligent, and took the time to make sure the job was done correctly. I would highly recommend Rob and Zoom Drain to anyone.
Ross Sinclair
Had an issue at one of our rentals. They were on site within an hour on a Saturday and gone in under two hours with the problem solved.
Brandon Fearon
Needed a sump pump replacement, emailed Zoom Drain on Saturday and they came and did the job on Monday. Quick turn around, industry standard pricing but will offer discounts if you add on jobs (added a drain scope). Both jobs together cost $1103, sump comes with two-year service warranty. Joe Gould was the tech and he did a great job - knowledgeable, professional, and quick pump replacement. Also appreciate that this company will text you a photo and the name of your technician so you know who to expect at your door.

Christmas Eve. House guests in a one-bathroom home. Midnight and the toilet overflows; a nightmare. Evan couldn't have been nicer. Did the work quickly and efficiently. It wasn't cheap but, under the circumstances, all the 🌟!

We had an emergency clog the day after Christmas at 5:45, and within an hour, Joe A. was at our house snaking the pipe and fixing the problem.
