About Franklin Plumbing Heating & Cooling in Kingsport, TN

A professional plumbing inspection from Franklin Plumbing can identify early warning signs of a main line clog or sewer line damage before a full backup occurs. Using specialized cameras, we can spot tree root intrusion, pipe corrosion, or blockages common in our area. Catching these issues early saves you from the major inconvenience, mess, and expense of a complete sewer backup.

First, turn off the disposal and the circuit breaker for safety. Never use your hand or chemical drain cleaners. For a simple jam, you can try using the included hex key to manually turn the motor from underneath. If it's still stuck or making odd noises, it's time to call Franklin Plumbing. We'll safely clear the jam, check for damage, and ensure your disposal is running properly to avoid future problems.

Many homes in Kingsport have older plumbing systems and are surrounded by mature trees whose roots seek out water sources, often invading sewer pipes. A video sewer line inspection is the most effective way to see inside your pipes. We can pinpoint exactly where roots, cracks, or bellied pipes are located, allowing us to recommend the most targeted and cost-effective repair, like hydro-jetting or trenchless repair, to restore proper flow.
