Chris was prompt and very professional. The work was done for the price he quoted, and finished in the time that he told me.. He removed all of the debris and each day he left my house as it was when he got there. He is an excellent plumber and I have not had any problems with his work.

"On the coldest and rainiest day of the year, I called Mr. Henley about repairing a broken water pipe under my house (in a crawl space that was less than 2 feet high!) He and his fine crew were at our house within a couple of hours, had the pipe repaired in less than 2 hours. The price was exceptionally fair. Mr. Henley was so kind and generous and we are so grateful for his compassion and willingness to help us on such short notice. Rea Mingeva and Tom Moore"

FAQs for affordable plumbing projects in Tracy City, TN

Yes, most states require plumbers to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed plumber could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.

As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:

The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi

Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.

It’s possible to snake minor drain clogs yourself, provided they sit within a foot or two of the drain itself, but it’s usually best to hire a professional plumber regardless. Even experienced DIYers have a high chance of accidentally pushing the clog further into the drain using a drain snake or another tool, so hiring a plumber is the ideal course of action. A professional plumber can use camera equipment to locate and identify the clog, and remove the entire blockage to fix your issue permanently.

Typically, plumbing repairs cost about $325 per job but can range from $175 to $4,000 or more. Simple fixes, such as a toilet repair, will be less expensive at around $150 to $400. However, if you have a pipe that has burst, you can expect to pay between $1,000 and $4,000 or more.

The project that needs to be completed, the size of your home, and the type of plumbing pipes you have can all impact the final cost. External factors such as supply chain issues and shortage of materials all play a part in how much this repair might be.
