Why this company works camera-first
This page exists so you can check how we work before you ever call (615) 555-0134. Not our slogans — our method, our prices, our warranty, and the checks you can run on us and on every other company in this market.
Drain Cleaning Nashville Pros was set up around one observation, and everything else follows from it: in this market, drain work is mostly sold on guesses. A technician listens to your description, runs a cable, charges by the attempt, and leaves you hoping the problem was what he assumed it was. Meanwhile the published review record for Nashville drain work tells the same story over and over — a price quoted on the phone that becomes a different price on the invoice, a clog "cleared" that comes back in three weeks, a homeowner told there were no roots who digs up his own yard and finds them.
A camera ends the guessing. Every job here starts with a CCTV camera run through your cleanout, looking at the whole lateral — roots at the joints of the clay sections, grease on the branch line, scale narrowing an old cast iron, a belly holding standing water, Orangeburg gone oval under the soil. You can watch the screen while we do it. Then one price, in writing, based on what the pipe actually showed. Then the clean. Then the camera again, to prove it. Then the footage — a file, handed to you, yours to keep for your records, your landlord, your realtor, or the next company you ever call.
That sequence is the company. Camera first, price in writing, proof after, footage handed over. It costs us more time per job than the guess-and-cable model, and we think it's the only version of this trade worth selling.
What we do
The work itself covers the full run from the fixture to the street: single-fixture clearing at $129, main line cleaning at $249 with the camera run before and after included, hydro jetting at $549 for grease, scale and lines that clog on a calendar, and sewer camera inspection at $225 standalone — video and a written condition report included, the price Nashville buyers and realtors already use to scope a line before a purchase closes. Repairs are priced from what the camera footage shows, in writing before anything is dug; a full sewer replacement runs from $95 per linear foot, against a published national range of $60–$250. Every price sits on one dated list — the same numbers on this page, on the drain cleaning cost page, and on the quote we hand you at the door.
We also run drain maintenance plans at $149 per scheduled visit for the houses and businesses whose lines clog on a schedule — root-prone clay laterals, restaurant grease lines, rental portfolios — and a commercial and landlord side built around the same deliverable: footage, a written finding, and a price agreed before the machine starts.
The standards we work to
A drain company asking for your trust should be able to name its standards, so here are ours.
Camera findings in the trade's own language. Our inspection reports describe what the camera shows using NASSCO PACP condition grading — the standard coding system sewer professionals use to grade defects — translated into plain English on the same page, so "roots at a joint" and "a structural defect" are never just our adjectives.
Sewage treated as what it is. Sewage backups are Category 3 water under the ANSI/IICRC S500 standard — the grossly contaminated category. Our crews work to that awareness: keep people and pets clear of it, don't track it through the house, and get things dry inside the EPA's 24-to-48-hour window. Clearing the line is our job; we'll be straight with you about which parts of a bad backup need a remediation crew rather than a drain crew.
A warranty with a number in it. Every clean carries a written 1-year clog warranty — not "satisfaction guaranteed," a term, in days you can count. In a market where the only written clog-warranty term any competitor publishes is 30 days, and where a Nashville customer called a six-month warranty "rare for a sewer line job," we print ours. The boundary is printed with it: the warranty covers the cleaning on a sound pipe. If the camera shows the pipe is broken, collapsed, ovalled or bellied, no cleaning warranty can honestly cover that — and then the footage, yours, is the arbiter of what happens next.
Check us the way you should check anybody
Tennessee has no statewide "master plumber" credential — anyone advertising one is selling a title the state doesn't issue. The real credentials are the Limited Licensed Plumber license for work under $25,000 and the CMC-A contractor license for projects at $25,000 and up, which matters because a full lateral replacement can cross that line. So the check is simple, and we encourage you to run it on every quote you get, ours included: ask the company for its Tennessee license number and type it into verify.tn.gov before work starts. A company worth hiring hands you a number that fits into a state website.
The rest of the checking is on this site. Our prices are published on the cost page. Our method is published on the homepage. Our reviews page publishes real customer reviews as they're earned — and only those. We'd rather show you how we work than ask you to take a star rating on faith.
Who we work for
Homeowners across Nashville and Davidson County, from the streetcar-era streets of East Nashville and Germantown to the post-war ranches of Donelson and Madison and the newer builds out toward the county lines. Landlords and property managers who need footage and written findings their owners can read — in a county where 47.6% of occupied homes are rented, that's half the market. Restaurants working under Metro's grease rules, and short-term rental hosts who can't afford a backup in the middle of a booking. Different customers, same deal: camera first, one written price, proof after, footage handed over, and a 1-year warranty in writing on the cleaning.
If that's the version of this trade you've been looking for, call (615) 555-0134 — or read the cost page first and come to the call already knowing our numbers.
