Meet the Owner

Baliruno moved to the Mile High City to pursue his accounting degree at Colorado Christian University. After earning his BSc in accounting in December 2003, he attended the University of Colorado Denver and attained his MBA in corporate financial management in May 2009.
Throughout the last 18 years, Baliruno has progressively gained experience in the accounting field in startup and mature organizations. As a senior team member for the previous seven years, he has a proven track record of successfully performing all accounting functions, building and leading teams, and partnering with business leadership to achieve corporate goals and objectives. Baliruno brings developed P&L management skills, an understanding of calculated risks, market needs identification, and technology acceptance and utilization to the owner/operator role. His profound knowledge of the power of brands, understanding of business development, key growth drivers, the importance of metrics and systems, and processes designed to sustain successful organizations will be incredibly integral for Zoom Drain South Denver. Additionally, Baliruno possesses leadership skills, strategic planning experience, and solid financial acumen.
Baliruno reviewed and evaluated several business opportunities before choosing Zoom Drain. “Of all franchises I was presented with, Zoom Drain immediately stood out because it checked more boxes in my criteria than the others,” says Baliruno. “I wanted to join a franchise system that is in the business of serving people, is essential to communities, is recession-proof, and is financially rewarding. A company focused on people, culture, and with growth and scale potential also was a high priority to me.”
For Baliruno, Denver is the ideal city to start his business because of his deep-seated love for the community. “Denver has always been a place of warm-hearted people to me,” he maintains. “I was welcomed and accepted and have built long-term friendships here. The approximately 300 days of sunshine a year and kind winters have always been selling points. The proximity to the beautiful Rocky Mountains and the numerous local trails I run on brings me peace.”
Baliruno believes in the essentiality of drain and sewer services, which have a significant societal impact on the local community. The service also allows the company to solve needs and enrich the community. As Denver South moves forward, Baliruno plans to expand his workforce and add partners as part of his future growth and expansion strategy, which will also bring a positive benefit to the local Denver South community.

Had a secondary clog from the kitchen sink, causing two clogged, overflowing sinks in the basement. Was recommended Zoom Drain (Denver South) from someone else. Decided to give them a try. Saul and his teammate Jayden came to service us. Saul spoke very, very well and professionally. He knew what he was doing. Gave me options and estimates before the service. Then a few moments later, no more clogging up in the sinks and we are back in business. These two gentlemen were super professional and positive. I will use Zoom Drain again in the future to clear out any clogs or clear some lines. It’s super hard to find service like this nowadays. Thank you, Saul and Jayden.Justin T.
James was great. He explained everything and gave options to get our mainline back up and running.Becky McCann
Thorough and professional, came out right away, which is very good.Carol Esterbrook
This was easy to schedule. Shawn was social, kind, respectful of our home and of our budget. He did an efficient job and was very responsive to our questions. We had the drain snaked and a quote about sewer repair (which is not needed).Laurie Callahan
We had a clogged French drain that was causing water to pool at the foundation. James did a great job digging through our landscaping rock to find the clogged drain pipe. The pipe was completely filled with roots and sediment, so he set up a temporary drain until we are able to complete a permanent fix.Monica Fitzwater
Had a clogged toilet. The technician came out and promptly fixed the issue and was diligent in both being professional about his work and tidy by wiping things down afterward and not having toilet water all over my floor after clearing the clog and having his tools about. The staff listened to the issues I was having with the toilet and came prepared with parts in stock in their truck for the fill valve they replaced, saving us both time rather than them having to make a trip to the hardware store. Allan/Allen was diligent and professional in doing his job. Great work.Jonathon Burnett
Alen came to my house today and did a terrific, professional, quick job. Zoom Drain's fees are very fair, and a little lower than the big guys. I recommend them. - PhilPhilip Antonson
We had a sewer backup, which felt urgent to us, and they were able to fit us in at the end of the day. Shawn W. was professional and friendly, and took time to explain his opinion of the problem along with recommendations. I’d hire them again.Terry Stone
Alen is a great technician. Zoom Drain has become my plumbing company because of Alen's professional attitude and attention to details.Tim Smith
JD Pepping did a great job refinishing our shower. It’s now in better condition than the one he replaced.Lynn & Pat Trenda
Shawn and Saul were courteous and professional. They identified the source of the problem. The job was more difficult than originally anticipated. They double checked their work to make sure everything was properly completed. They were at my house within 4 hours of calling. Kudos to both of them.Debbie Nowlen
Alen did a great job, was professional, and cleaned up well.Peter Purrazzella
Saul was very knowledgeable and informative. He is an asset to your company.Michele
Saul was awesome! Communicated well, professional, and efficient. Thank you for fixing my problem ASAP!Artemis
Shawn came out and located a cracked ABS drain from our washer running above our garage. He checked the water line first and made some cuts in our garage ceiling that initially weren't necessary to fix the pipe, but we are definitely thankful for it because he found years' worth of black mold that could have caused bigger problems in the future. Shawn was very professional and showed/explained what he was doing, his reasoning for doing so, and his findings. He recommended a few other companies to take a look at the mold issue and drywall.Cameron
JD was great! He was professional, dependable, and left me feeling confident that the work was well done. Thanks to him, I will use this company again.Sue Hastings
