It’s the peak of the dinner rush at a popular restaurant and the drains suddenly backs up causing a commotion in the kitchen. A homeowner flushes a handful of baby wipes down the toilet, not realizing they aren’t flushable. Or perhaps you hear a gurgling sound or foul odor starts emanating from the sewer pipes under a house.
Robb Lynch, owner of Zoom Drain, has seen it all. Dentures, wedding rings, grease blobs, large chunks of food and yes, tree roots stymie the flow of water through drains. No house or building is immune from it. Whether a house, apartment building, restaurant, nursing home, or commercial business, “it usually happens at the worst time, which is anytime” Lynch stated.
The company, which services customers within a 30 plus mile radius of Lake Norman, uses cutting-edge technology which includes a six-nozzle hydro-jetter that pushes 10 gallons of water per minute at up to 3,000 psi through a drain to unclog anything and everything.
“You might see our trucks on the road and not give us a second thought. But the moment that drain or sewer backs up at your home or business, you can have the peace of mind knowing we have the right expertise and equipment to make things right,” Lynch said.
The company specializes in fast, reliable solutions so when you call for help, Zoom Drain will quickly send a technician to diagnose the problem and present a “good, better and best” remedy to their customer. The well-trained technician will then make the repair.
“Our fully equipped service trucks have absolutely everything they need to take on every single drain and sewer problem, as well as the ability to perform the work right there on the spot for the customer,” said Lynch.
To prevent clogs and back flows, he offers these tips. Refrain from tossing large chunks of food down a drain when cleaning off dishes, but if you do, keep the water running awhile during the process so the particles can be pushed out to the main drain. For homes that have older pipes, Lynch said bio-based, non-toxic products like Zoom Drain Bio can be used throughout the year for preventive measures.
Zoom Drain also offers a comprehensive preventive maintenance plan with free on-site inspections on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual schedule. As part of the plan the technicians inspect the drain system to ensure everything is flowing correctly. Regularly scheduled drain cleanings can extend the lifespan of the pipes, Lynch said. Otherwise, food and grease can build up on the walls of the pipes and damage the inside of the drain.
As Lynch said, don’t be drain challenged. Call Zoom Drain today at 704-228-6481 or visit zoomdrainlakenorman.com.
