Signs of Sewer Backup That Require Immediate Attention

Recognizing the early signs of a sewer backup can help minimize damage to your home and prevent a minor issue from turning into a major disaster.

Some common signs include:

  • Sewer Smell in Your Home – If you notice a persistent sewer smell in your house, specifically in your bathroom or basement, it’s usually a sign of a blocked or damaged sewer line.
  • Multiple Slow-Draining Fixtures – If sinks, tubs, or toilets across your home are draining more slowly than usual, it may indicate a sewer line backup.
  • Water Backing Up in Drains – Water coming back through floor drains, toilets, or sinks is a clear warning sign of a sewer line issue.
  • Unexplained Wet Spots – Puddles or damp patches around your basement or yard could be due to a break or blockage in the sewer line.
  • Gurgling Noises – Strange gurgling sounds from drains or toilets often signal trapped air caused by a clog in the sewer system.

If you experience any of these signs, contact Zoom Drain promptly to prevent further damage to your home.

Everything was done professionally and explained thoroughly. Very pleased with his attention to detail and cleanup after the job was done.

Zoom was the only service able to respond the same day as my request! And then the professionalism and expertise from Devin when he arrived was the icing on the cake. Devin was incredibly knowledgeable and patient, walking me through every step and his reasoning for it. Would recommend Zoom and Devin to anyone needing honest, local, high-quality service. Thanks team.
Compton Latture
Matt was SO communicative and prompt, as well as capable. He was very patient; none of my questions were too dumb for him to take the time to explain the answers to thoroughly. We had some plumbing emergencies that we weren’t sure how we were going to solve without digging up the backyard, and Matt was able to offer an alternative solution that not only saved us thousands but took care of the problem and set us up for future success should we have more issues with plumbing. They took care of the work efficiently, cleaned up, and we felt like their pricing was incredibly reasonable. Lucas, the owner, is also very prompt and customer-centric. We will definitely be recommending Zoom Drain to friends and family and look forward to working with them again in the future!
Jennifer Brown

Shannon Beierle
Devin was very kind and listened to my concerns. I was getting a quote for yard drainage. Customer service was excellent!
rosemary bright
Mathew was awesome. He was informative, polite, and you could tell he truly cared about his work. He was not able to clear our clog, but he never gave up. He tried numerous different options to try to clear it, and when he couldn’t, he came up with a plan B. Many people these days would have given up after attempt one and just told me I need to pay for the higher service or, worst-case scenario, scope.
CJ Gerber
One word, EXCELLENT! Zoom Drain fixed the issue! Little background… It’s Sunday, difficult to book anybody for the same day and Zoom Drain came through! Particularly Matt the service tech, he was polite, courteous and knew his stuff, worked tirelessly to fix the problem… and sure he did! Thank you, Matt, thank you, Zoom Drain! Definitely recommend them!

Michele Lion
We were experiencing exterior drainage issues that were causing water to leak into our backyard shed as well as flood the garage through a concrete block wall. We called several companies to come out and provide a quote for the necessary work. Devon from Zoom Drain was the first available to quote as well as perform the work. We were impressed with his level of knowledge, his empathy to our situation, as well as the honest and objective feedback he provided to a few solutions that were available. Devon and his team were able to come out just a few days later, prior to the next heavy rains, and properly seal the problem area while installing new French drains. We purposely waited a few days to write this review. We wanted to see how Devon’s proposed solution was going to perform. Needless to say, the heavens opened up last night with torrential downpours and all of our previous problem areas stayed dry. We are thoroughly pleased with the work that was performed and would happily recommend Devon and his team to anyone needing exterior drainage mitigation.
Karl Stewart

Matthew is a great representative of the company, and I would gladly welcome him back for any future service needs.
Jerden Hunley
Matt was super professional and informative. Would recommend this company in a heartbeat.

Great experience. They were very honest about my situation, and although it was out of their scope of practice, they gave me suggestions on what needed done.
