"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."

"1 Tom Plumber did an outstanding job on my main sewer line. The team arrived on time, explained the hydro jet process clearly, and worked efficiently to get everything flowing again. They were polite, professional, and respectful of my property, taking the extra steps to protect surrounding areas and leaving the space clean when finished. I’m very pleased with the results, and the drain line is running perfectly. I would absolutely hire them again and recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy plumbing company. Highly recommended."

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

First, find the cleanout pipe in your yard. Unscrew the cap—you may need a wrench to do so. Then, get a drain snake. You can use a non-motorized one, but a motorized snake will make the job a little easier. Feed the snake through the pipe until it reaches the clog. Spin the snake continuously, but don’t try to feed it through the pipe anymore. Keep spinning until you feel it break the clog apart.

There are several common signs that your main sewer line may be clogged. Key indicators include multiple fixtures in your home draining slowly, gurgling sounds coming from drains or toilets, and water backing up into showers, sinks, or toilets. You might also notice water backing up from the plumbing system's drain cleanout, water in your basement drain, or unexplained wet patches on your lawn. Foul odors, such as the smell of raw sewage or rotten eggs, are another common symptom. The most reliable way to confirm a main sewer line clog is to hire a professional plumber to perform a camera inspection.

Grease buildup, tree roots, and foreign objects often cause blockages. Regular maintenance prevents major issues.

A bit of water in the bowl can help unclog a toilet, especially if you're using a plunger. However, if the bowl is full to the brim, you'll need to strap on gloves and remove some of the wastewater in a cup or container so it doesn't overflow when you try to unblock the pipe. If you're concerned about it filling further, manually close the flapper in the toilet tank or turn off the water supply to the toilet.

Bleach—even diluted bleach—is not always the safest option for cleaning your drains. With a high pH, bleach can be highly corrosive to many types of pipes, especially when used regularly. When mixed with household cleaners and organic waste, it can also create dangerous chemicals. Remember to use proper protective equipment and ventilation when dealing with bleach.
