"This is to update my last review from Feb 2018. DO NOT do business with this company. I was given a TWO year warranty on the installation of my unit. It expires in a month. My unit has pulled away from my house. YES, you read that right. The unit was installed on an unlevel area with mulch and pea gravel underneath the fiberglass pad that the unit sits on. The owner of the company claims that it is a landscaping issue. Again, YES you read that right. This company does not, I repeat- DOES NOT, honor their warranty. AVOID, AVOID, AVOID this company."

"I was noticing rust along the bottom of my aging water heater. I called Marvin, and he was actually at my house in about 12 minutes. He looked at the heater and suggested some less expensive things to try short of replacing the water heater. I ended up deciding to just replace it. He had the job done quickly at a fair price. It's working great. Thanks, Marvin."

"My sewer line broke during really cold weather around Christmas. A + did come out two days after I called and checked the problem. After paying $300 that day for a 30 minute visit they sent a couple guys out the next day to dig up my yard. The guys came and worked in the rain (which I really appreciated) and got my line temporarily fixed where they put one piece of new pipe and a curved piece to connect new pipe with old pipe. I didn't want the curved piece but realized they would be back to finish when he weather was better. I asked them to replace the whole line to the road where the city line started. When they returned they simply covered the line and didn't replace the rest like I had requested. They left the curved piece covered it and left. I received a bill and mailed the check in full (a whole months salary by the way on top of the $300 already paid) and wrote a letter asking them to come back and at least fix my yard. I received a call saying they would and after more than two months they have not fixed my yard. I feel like they took advantage of me and I hope I don't have other issues since they didn't replace the whole line like I asked. It is also very frustrating being told they would come back and fix my yard back and they didn't honor that."

We are a family-owned, husband and wife-run business bringing plumbing services to Tri-City, TN and the surrounding areas. We are dedicated to providing fast service. All emergency services provided within 24 - 48 hours. Marc is a master plumber with 25+ years of experience and is licensed and insured. You can count on us to be thorough, honest and courteous. Whether installing a new sink or repairing a broken pipe, we maintain the same level of commitment and work ethics. At Marc Francis Plumbing, our business is prepared to earn yours. * Emergency Services are after 4 pm Monday through Friday. Saturday and Sunday 24 Hour Emergency Service.*

"Marc is truly a craftsman who loves his job. I have worked with plumbers across the US with each military move and Marc far surpassed every one. I thought my plumber is Kansas was the best, but having now worked with Marc, and being retired in the Johnson City area, I will NEVER use another plumber. Marc and his team re-piped our 9,000+ sf house, and he kept me informed the entire time. He showed off his work, wanting me to see his artistry. Instead of cutting corners, saving him time and money, Marc took an extra 2 hours working a series of connections to ensure it was a quality line running to an obscure outside house in the far corner of our house. He also insulated our hot water return for energy efficiency and extended it further than first mentioned to ensure we had hot water at every single faucet in less than 5 seconds. These are just a few examples of his dedication to customer satisfaction. I rarely give reviews because I am a hard one to please, but Marc deserves every kind word imaginable when it comes to dedication, customer satisfaction, honesty, and integrity. My family could not be happier or more pleased with a plumber than Marc Francis and his team. Truly, a job exceedingly well done!"

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Yes, flushing a clogged toilet can make it overflow. While flushing the toilet may push enough pressure through the system to dislodge the clog, this is unlikely. Your best bet is to use a plunger and hope the suction can break up whatever is blocking the pipe. If this doesn’t work, use a plumbing auger or call a pro to help.

Flushing the toilet only to realize it’s clogged can cause anxiety. To avoid a clogged toilet, use less toilet paper. If you notice that the toilet is flushing and refilling slower than usual, you can use a plunger to clear clogs in the S-trap. If that doesn’t work, call a plumber to check your system and possibly clear the drain lines.

In most areas, drain cleaning professionals don’t technically need a license, as they aren’t altering your plumbing system in any way. However, we recommend hiring a drain cleaning professional with a plumbing license and certification. Certified plumbers are more likely to provide professional solutions to drain clogs without damaging your system. They’ll also have the diagnostic tools and experience necessary to remove the clog entirely rather than providing a temporary solution, as a handyperson might. Use Angi’s state licensing tool to check your plumber’s professional licenses before hiring.

Small clogs will eventually break down, but only if the clog is made up of toilet paper or waste and this can take time. If you don’t have another bathroom, it's best to fix a clogged toilet with what you have available. Solid objects flushed down the drain, however, require manual removal.

It takes hair about two years to dissolve on its own in the drain without the use of any tool or help. Fortunately, using a drain snake, plunger, or any of the actions mentioned above to dissolve the hair will help get rid of the clog in as little as 15 minutes.
