"made first contact on a Monday, the office said the plumber would be contacting me with a time he could come. I never heard from him he just showed up on Friday. I had not explained the problem correctly. He was unable to do the repair due to time and lack of supplies. He contacted a co-worker and they all arrived later that afternoon. The work was done in a timely manner. Left it clean and repaired."

"After discovering a drip from a shutoff valve under our kitchen sink, I turned to Home Advisor to find a plumber. I entered the particulars and hit the enter button on my computer. Almost instantly, my phone rang. I mean within seconds. It was Bobby with Tennessee Standard Plumbing and Drain Experts. I explained our situation and Bobby explained our options. I agreed to have him send a crew to investigate and determine a solution. He said a crew would arrive between 1 and 5 pm that same day. Shortly after 1 pm, I received a call from the crew informing me they would arrive within 20 minutes. Right on time, the crew backed their big blue truck in the driveway. They put on their face mask (because of this COVID19 crap), shoe protectors and introduced themselves presenting me with a very impressive metal business card. They were Jonathan Marsh and Casey Field. They were in uniform, very polite, and ready to find out what was required to solve our problem. Jonathan did an assessment of the situation and determined it was not the shutoff valve leaking. The leak was actually occurring at the connection of the valve to the pipe coming thru the wall. He explained what they would have to do to solve the problem and worked up a quotation. I agreed and they went to work. They replaced the defective galvanized pipe with new stainless-steel nipples. Installed new shutoff valves and hoses. They reconnected everything, tested all for leaks, cleaned up (they did not make a mess), and were finished. I have to say we are completely satisfied with Tennessee Standard, Bobby, and the crew, Jonathan and Casey. They were all so professional and so detailed and solved our problem. I highly recommend Tennessee Standard Plumbing and Drain Experts because they are just that, Experts!"

"This plumber was the second to come out for my clogged drain. So far what he did seems to have worked. The only complaint I had was the plumber was trying to sell me expensive services before he even got to the problem. I will be calling this company with my next plumbing problem."

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

An active cleaning agent and a drain snake is the best way to clean a main sewer line. You can purchase a regular or enzyme drain cleaner or make a DIY drain cleaner with baking soda. Use your chosen solution at least once a month or as needed to keep your sewer line clear. 

You’ll likely pay between $300 and $450 to unclog your toilet with Roto-Rooter. However, the price could change depending on if the clog has caused a lot of damage, which your plumbing pro will want to inspect during your service appointment. Keep in mind that you won’t get a quote from Roto-Rooter over the phone. They have to send a pro out for an in-person cost estimate. You can also attempt to snake your own clog for a lot less, and simple drain snakes cost no more than $50.

Most commercial liquid drain cleaners work in 15 to 30 minutes. Consult the label on the bottle for additional instructions or time suggestions to prevent damage to your drainpipes. Alternative solutions such as baking soda, salt, white vinegar, and/or boiling water can take longer since they are less harsh than liquid drain cleaners.

If you have a sink stopper, it can feel more challenging to clean the drain without removing it, but here are a few simple steps:

  • Pour ½ cup baking soda into the drain using a funnel

  • Pour 1 ½ cups vinegar into the drain

  • Close the sink stopper for 15–20 minutes

  • Open the drain

  • Pour 2 cups of boiling water down the drain (be cautious as boiling water can damage some types of pipes)

If the drain isn’t unclogged, repeat the process.

Clearing typically takes 1-2 hours, depending on the blockage size and location.
