Sewer Pump Installation & Repair from Dedicated Specialists
If your sewer system relies on any kind of pump system to keep wastewater flowing, eventually you will need to replace your unit. Well-maintained sump pumps can have a lifespan of 8 to 10 years with warranties for around half of their lifespan. However, a pump that gets used heavily or that has suffered some kind of damage may only last 5 years.
If your pumps are coming to the end of their lifespan and require a replacement, our team of Portland drain and sewer specialists can provide fast removal of the old unit and install a new unit in its place. Our sump pump specialists understand that a pump plays a very important role in protecting basements, rooms, and homes from flooding and water damage, so trust our specialists for sump pump replacement or installation.

Signs of a Failing Sump Pump
There are a few symptoms to watch out for if you are concerned about whether your sump pump is still an effective layer of protection against flooding. Obviously, no one wants their sump pump to be unreliable during an emergency. Be on the lookout for these common signs that your sump pump is reaching the end of its life.
Loud Noises: If the motor is beginning to whine loudly, this is likely a sign that it will not last much longer.
Vibrations: If the unit has a damaged impeller, it will rattle and make loud noises as the fan blades attempt to empty water out of the basin.
Clogs & Frozen Lines: Clogged discharge lines can inflict severe damage quickly by overworking the motor and potentially burning it out.
Running Sporadically: Something may be wrong with the wiring in your unit if it is turning on and off without clear reasons. This can also indicate that your unit is too weak in terms of horsepower to empty the basin.
Unit Is 7 Years or Older: Older sump pumps will begin to work harder to empty the basin until they are running non-stop and the motor burns out.
If you notice any of these signs, give the Zoom Drain of New England team a call. We can perform a thorough inspection to diagnose any issues and, if necessary, provide reliable, effective sump pump replacement in Portland and throughout New England.

Drain pumps have a wide variety of applications in the home. If you need a drain pump installed or replaced in any of your appliances, our team can make it happen.
We can help you with drain pump replacement for any of the following plumbing systems:
Laundry Trays
Wet Bars
Lavatories

Sewer Ejector Pump Replacement
Sewer pumps are usually installed to move waste through your pipes against gravity. If you are concerned that your sewage ejector pumps are no longer functioning, our team can advise you on when a replacement will be needed.
Ejector pumps can fail when the incorrect pump is installed. Our team can help you select the right pump so that it lasts for its normal lifespan. We install low-lying construction and basement sewage pump systems.
Sewage Grinder Pump Replacement
Sewage grinder pumps eliminate waste by grinding up wastewater as it pumps it into the public sewer. Grinder pumps are often installed outdoors, but can be installed indoors as well. The units usually run for increments of 1 to 3 minutes. If you hear your pump running for longer, you may have an issue that needs repair.

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.

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.
