"Kevin Gardner & his helper Sam were really nice respectful fellows. I only gave then 4.5 stars on work quality because an auger cable broke and they had to fish it out. I gave them 5 stars on customer service for a number of reasons, not the least of which was there was no b.s. about the broken cable situation. Past that, they both spoke to me with knowledge and humor and answered all my questions as well as gave me valuable insight on how to deal with the issue going forward. Pricing of the job was clear from the get-go. I'll be calling Kevin again. One other thing: I was very frustrated with my situation after working on it for 8.5 hours on a Friday, I went to Home Advisor put in my info and got a text from Gardner in 10 minutes requesting that I call. Kevin Garner answered, I ran through the litany of my issues, Kevin correctly diagnosed the problem, as we found out later, and we agreed on the money for the camera work right then and there. We also made an appointment for the next morning, a Saturday, between 10-11am. They were at my door at 10. It was raining fairly hard and I'm not sure I, if I were them, would have been on time as they had been to a previous job in some mud field. They were nice about my not being quite ready to show them the issue (at an adjacent building) and gave me the 5 minutes I needed to 'dress for success' :), without any comment or complaint at all. In fact they were complimentary about my previous day's work of trying to resolve the problem with just a old style manual feed auger that I worked for 8.5 hours. They told me that they wouldn't have felt like getting out of the sack either, after all that. Like I implied: Decent, nice and respectful people. I'll be hiring this outfit again!"

"I hired David for a couple of jobs the main one was clearing a blockage or drain, but I also while he was here I had him look at 3 toilets for me because I thought that they needed to be replaced but after David looking at them he told me he could save me a great deal of money, apparently I only needed one replaced and he was able to just do some simple fixes on the other two. I greatly appreciated David being up front and honest with me because I really didn't have the money for all that work. It was easy to book an appointment with David,she was able to meet my schedule and he was prompt on time for the appointment. I wouldn't highly recommend David for any of your plumbing needs!"

FAQs for drain clog or blockage clearing projects in Townsend, 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.
