"Mikey was prompt and on time. He worked on the line over three hours. His jet line got stuck from tree roots. He got it unstuck and kept working on the blockage. Our water is running out at a very high rate now. I appreciate him taking the time to complete the job and not stopping when his jet line got stuck. His price was very reasonable. Will definitely be calling him for any future needs. Highly recommend him!"

"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."

"This will be a long review but these gentlemen Robert & Ian are absolutely worth it! On Friday morning, my gas water heater sprung a leak at the bottom and needed to be replaced. I called the Oak Ridge Gas Co (ORUD) and they said they couldnâ t come until Monday. 7 people (6 girls & me) with no hot water for 4 days! Next I called some local plumbers. One by one they said either theyâ d come around 6pm or they didnâ t handle gas units. Iâ m glad they were busy but I needed someone now! Next I called 2 major companies that are well known in the Knoxville area. One came, gave a 3 minute look and quoted a mid 4 figure price TO REPLACE A WATER HEATER! The next on the scene was Robert Mason & Ian (I donâ t know his last name) from TENNESSEE STANDARD PLUMBING & DRAIN. These gentlemen took their time. They asked many questions, they did a very thorough and professional inspection. They were straightforward, honest, neat and genuinely concerned about providing service, not just doing a job. While speaking with Ian, he was sharing about how much the leadership in the company truly cared about their employees and showed them tremendous respect. I found that to not only be reassuring but also experienced how that translated to how they genuinely cared about my family. The inspection took a good deal of time. They went into the crawlspace and really did a full inspection. Remember, this is Friday afternoon on Fatherâ s day weekend. When they were done, Robert showed me his findings. For those that donâ t know, many of the houses in Oak Ridge were built in 1943 so most of my plumbing is 80 years old. Robert showed me the pictures of the main pipe coming out of the ground into the house. Only God knows how it had not blown out yet, it was that corroded. Let me stop here and say that Robert & Ian were the only ones to do this inspection. Had I just replaced the water heater, the pressure* (more on this later) would have blown somewhere else and potentially taken out the furnace with the water. About the water pressure, they were also the only ones to measure the water pressure which was 100 psi when it should be half that. They also noticed that I did not have a pressure regulator or a main shut off. Important things to have in 2024 that perhaps werenâ t in 1943. When they entered the house they had special shoes for neatness and respect which was nice. Finally when they were completely done, we sat down and they presented 3 different options which we discussed in detail. There was absolutely no pressure, no sales talk, nothing except honest information and options. There is a very true saying that you get what you pay for. Tennessee Standard Plumbing & Drain is not the cheapest but there is also a difference between â costâ and â priceâ The â costâ over time will be less because they use top of the line material and they perform exemplary work which they stand behind. It turned out that none of the 3 options were attainable so Robert worked within our budget to get the vital items fixed. They handled everything. They called to get the ground marked, they dug up only the area they needed to and they put it back as best you can when you trench a yard. Another professional thing was that they were prepared. They had what they needed on the truck with them. There was no wasted time while they went to get whatever was needed. I greatly appreciated that. In the end, we decided on a 3 visit plan. They did the emergency items this visit. In 6 months or so, they will return for the 2nd phase and the final mostly cosmetic phase where my wife gets the bathroom she really wants. I would highly recommend these gentlemen and Tennessee Standard Plumbing & Drain!"

"Cale is always on time and never missed an appointment. He is quick to get back to me when I call or text. His work is excellent and his prices are fair. There has never been a problem he couldn’t fix in the 10+ years he has been providing plumbing services for me. He is trustworthy and I feel safe leaving him alone in our home. I highly recommend Cale and have done so with many of my family members and friends."

FAQs for drain clog or blockage clearing projects in Oliver Springs, 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.
