Zoom Drain is a full service provider of residential & commercial drain cleaning and inspection. We’re best known for fast response times and our ability to provide focused solutions to drain & sewer problems. From sinks, toilets, and tubs to main drains, roof drains, storm drains, and anything else that carries water, we’ve got you covered. We also offer grease trap cleaning services and planned preventative maintenance.

"I had two exterior faucets that were leaking, know that I risked frozen pipes if I did not have them fixed, consulted you, selected the Zoom company that was at top of list. Tehir plumber showed up on time Monday Morning, I showed him the faucets, requested that he install new washers,he informed me that they were too old to repair, suggested frost free ones, and as I knew they had to be fixed before winter, I agreed (I am still trusting them because of their Angi rating) He informs he he will have to cut hole in the finished ceiling to access pipe to complete installation, I agrees, he cuts but cannot locate pipe, goes outside to look again, cuts another hole, still cannot find pipe. He then tells me that he cannot replace it because of how the pipes are installed. Then he goes to the back faucet and decided that he cannot replace that one either. Somewhere along the line,not telling me, he shut off all water to my house someplace in front lawn. He then proceeds to put new washers in each of the faucets, I observe him doing so in the front, and turn it on and off myself. At this point, he suggests a shut off valve for the back faucet, which I agree to, and he begins cutting a length from the pipe in the rafters. Now remember, He has been in the back several times, but apparently did not notice the gas grill installed five feet from the house. IAs I agreed to the shut off, go upstairs to wait while he cuts a section of the copper pipe which he thought was water, but really was the gas connection to the grill. I soon start smelling gas, inform him, he smells it too, had an immediate evacuation. At this point he walks away from me, turns his back, starts calling someone, informs me that he has to call the fire department and Spire gas company, while I am standing there without any warm clothing in the drizzle. Fire dept. begins to clear he interior air of my house of gas, gas person goes downstairs and caps the gas pipe, they put me in his truck with heater on so I cannot hear any of the things they are discussing. I am informed that they shut off the gas (NO FURNACE!) I had to get someone in there to check everything out before they could turn it back on . I contacted Rhymes heating and Cooling , they gave me a Tuesday morning appt, but fortunately for me later in the afternoon they were able to get their man out. About this time was when your company called to ask me how it went, I started the story, your person gave me the customer service number to contact. But the story is not over...the Rhymes guy spends two hours, even calling in colleague to assist, but cannot find any leak. They cut more holes in the ceiling to access the gas line going to the kitchen stove, cannot find anything. At this point, he asks me to call Spire to ask if they can come and pinpoint what needs to be fixed to get my gas on....they suspect it might be in the meter area, which they cannot touch. Spire agrees to send an emergency guy out. By this time, my mouth is so dry I desperately need water...there is nothing coming out of the faucets.!!! The Rhymes man calls the water company, who will send emergency call. At this point, it is about 4, I pay Rhymes $389 for two hours work, necessitated b the Zoom guy cutting the gas line. A bit later, the new Spire man comes, takes the meter apart, cannot find anything there, spends another hour+ checking everything out. The water company guy arrives, cannot find any problems indoors. Remember the Zoom guy turned off the water in the main shut off...he left without turning it back on!!! Water gets turned back on. The Spire man turns the gas back on, and they both leave sometime in the dark. Bottom line, the Zoom plumber was certainly not up to the job, did not even clean up the parts of the ceiling that fell to the floor, even questioned me about all my clothes hanging in the basement, what my husband thought of it, I advised him that I had been married to an abusive man who I divorced 50 years ago, costing me $389 bill to Rhymes, $465 to Zoom for two washers, a torn up ceiling. a nightmare of a day. the"

"Extremely customer service experience. The representative I dealt with was not only unhelpful but also came across. As both judgmental and lacking professionalism when I asked clear questions about pricing I received vague misleading answers. They scheduled an appointment that I had agreed upon for one o'clock pm but no one show up or call. Instead I received a text for 1 o'clock pm.; When I called to let them know The situation and the pricing they have changed their answer from 1 -3pm and told me that there was a fee that would be applied. When I asked a follow up question the Rep. hung up on me. The overall behavior was unprofessional and extremely biased based on demographic that they choose not to served. I would expect more transparency, respect and communication."

FAQs for water main install, replace or repair projects in Saint-louis, MO

If you notice puddles or standing water in your yard, a sudden drop in water pressure, cracks forming in your foundation, frequent clogs in your plumbing fixtures, or water that looks or smells unusual, you might have a leak in your main water line. These signs mean it's time to call a professional to evaluate the issue and prevent further damage.

A professional water main inspection is a comprehensive evaluation performed by a licensed plumber who checks every section of your plumbing system. The inspection costs $165 and uses advanced diagnostic techniques to identify hidden leaks or wear. This service clarifies the exact condition of your water main, enabling precise repairs that prevent future damage and ensure the overall health of your plumbing system.

Protect your water main by scheduling a cleaning and inspection every two to five years. The average cost of a sewer line cleaning is $400. It’s also important to never dig in your yard without first calling the dig line (811) to ensure you don't accidentally hit the water or sewer lines. Watch for soil erosion, low water pressure, or wet spots in your yard, and take immediate action if you suspect a leak. Remember, the longer you leave it, the worse the problem gets and the more costly it is to fix.

When properly maintained, your water main is engineered to remain functional for 50 years or longer. A durable water service in excellent condition should consistently perform without major issues for half a century. In contrast, metal pipes exposed to acidic soil corrode faster, whereas modern plastic pipes resist corrosion and function for decades beyond metal alternatives. Regular maintenance and inspections are essential for confirming your system’s longevity.

No, homeowners insurance does not cover the cost to repair a water main. Insurers fund only sudden, unforeseen events like a burst pipe and exclude gradual issues or normal wear and tear. Damage resulting from leaks, such as mold remediation or property claims, is not covered. It is essential to contact your insurance provider immediately to confirm your policy’s details and any potential adjustments needed.
