"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!"

"Had a major clog in the mainline and had been trying to get ahold of our usual guy for such things, but he was unavailable. Got ahold of Gardner Plumbing and Blake Maiden came out the *same day* and did a great job clearing the issue right up! We’re in a very rural area and I had a very hard time finding someone who could service the area. Blake is our hero! :)"

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

In some cases, operating a snake can damage your drain and pipes. This depends on the overall condition of your pipes and how gently you operate the auger. For instance, older galvanized pipes covered in zinc are susceptible to scratches when using a drain snake. Additionally, it’s common for newbies to apply too much force when extending the snake, leading to scratches and related damage. You can also crack the porcelain with an electric auger if you’re snaking a toilet drain. If you’re using a manual snake or auger, the risk is minimal.

As a preventative measure, hydro jetting should be done every one to two years. However, the best practice is to hydro jet your sewer line once per year. The ideal frequency depends on several factors, including the age and condition of your pipes, how prone they are to clogging, how often the sewer line is used, and the type of waste disposed of in the system. If you frequently experience clogs or are unsure, it's best to ask a licensed plumber for a recommendation specific to your plumbing system.

To prevent drain clogs, perform regular maintenance and cleaning. Avoid disposing of substances like grease or coffee grounds down the sink. Additionally, installing and routinely using drain strainers can help catch debris and prevent blockages from forming.

Air gaps get clogged by a few different means. Over time, food and grime can collect in the air gap, leading to a blockage. Mineral deposits from hard water are a common problem. Mineral buildup creates a film in the air gap and tubing, which can cause flow issues, as well as attract debris. Homeowners with hard water may want to remove mineral deposits regularly to keep the air gap clean and clear.

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.
