"The Plumbing Authority got back to me right away once I connected with them on Angi. We agreed on a date and time for them to come to my house and they were there exactly when they said they would be. Mikhail was very polite and professional and didn't try and "upsell" me anything. He kept the area that he was working in clean and when he left you wouldn't have known he was ever there except for the leak problem had been fixed. He completed the work very timely. I like The Plumbing Authority very much and would highly recommend them. "

"Nic did a great job but we have a major sower problem with the funky sewer line. They established here in Oak Ridge. He is coming back to do a bigger job of finding the root blockage and making repairs!"

"I live in Tellico Village and we were having issues with slow flushing and bubbling sound in the drains. I called WhizPro to come out. Online and on the phone I was told it is a $99 service fee to come out. That quickly changed $420 because it is considered ?complex? after he noted water in the sewer clean out pipe. The plumber mentioned it could be a problem with my grinder pump. I told him that the POA maintains that, and I would need to call them if this is the issue. He unsealed the basin lid and noted it to be full, indicating a malfunction. I went inside to call the POA Water Works. Meanwhile, he opened the electrical box for the grinder, which he later told me he is not supposed to do. He ran a voltage test and told me my grinder was ?burned out?. I told him the POA water works is coming, and they will manage the job from this point. He declined to reduce the $420 fee to $99 despite only taking off two lids. Would not recommend. "

"Jon did a timely, quick, thorough job. And this, after hours. Had he not fixed us up after the workday ended as he did, we would have either been without water overnight or paid our water company to spill 3 gallons per minute down our street. Get Winkle’s Plumbing whenever you can. They’r grand."

FAQs for drain clog or blockage clearing projects in Greenback, TN

Snaking a simple clog near a tub, toilet, or sink often takes about five minutes. Deeper blockages along the main line can stretch the job to a few hours because the pro must feed extra cable and may need a camera to confirm the pipe is clear. Either way, specialized tools help pros work quickly and keep your drains running for the long haul.

Aggressive snaking can scratch pipes, push debris deeper, or even crack older lines. That risk is low with an experienced plumber who matches the cable size to the pipe and eases the snake through bends instead of forcing it. If you’re unsure of your technique—or your pipes are already fragile—calling a licensed pro is the safest, and often cheapest, move.

Start with simple barriers: mesh screens on every tub, shower, and sink keep hair, food bits, and jewelry out of the pipes. Skip harsh chemicals; a monthly flush with hot (not boiling) water clears light buildup without damaging plastic lines. Finally, practice smart disposal—no grease, wipes, or kitty litter down the drain—and schedule routine cleanings if you have older plumbing.

Roto‑Rooter typically charges a flat $160 to $450 for standard snaking, which may include a quick sewer inspection and basic clean‑out. Exact pricing depends on the clog’s location and complexity. Repairs or part replacements fall outside that flat fee, so ask for a line‑item estimate if your tech spots broken pipe sections or recommends additional work.

Most liquid cleaners rely on caustic chemicals that eat through hair and grime—but they also erode metal and even some plastics over time. Repeated use strips protective pipe coatings and can leave you with leaks or premature failures. If hot water or a plunger doesn’t help, call a plumber for mechanical removal instead of pouring more chemicals down the line.
