Sewer & Drain · Nashville, TN
Local drain cleaners, straight answers
Drain and sewer crews who clear the stoppage first, then put a camera down the line and show you what caused it.
About Nashville's Sewer and Drain
Nashville's Sewer and Drain is a sewer and drain company serving Nashville and 100 more towns across 12 counties of Middle Tennessee. The sewer and drain work is performed by our trusted partner — one local company we chose and stand behind — and we stake our name on how the work goes.
A drain that backs up twice usually has a cause the first visit never looked for: roots at a clay joint, a belly holding water, Orangeburg flattening under the soil. We clear the line, run a camera through it, hand you the recording and price the repair from what it shows, so nobody pays to clear the same pipe every spring.
How this works
Send the form and it comes to Nashville's Sewer and Drain. We read it and it goes to our trusted partner: the local sewer and drain company that does the work. All work is performed by our trusted partner. They call you, look at the sewer and drain job in person, and put the estimate in writing before anything starts.
One company, not five. Nashville's Sewer and Drain does not sell what you send us and does not pass it round a list of drain cleaners to ring you all week; it reaches the one company doing your job, and that is as far as it goes.
The company doing the sewer and drain work trades under a name of its own, so the business that introduces itself at your door may not be the name you read here. Nashville's Sewer and Drain stays in it either way: we hold the license and the insurance on file, we hear how each job went, and we are who you come back to if the work is not right.
What we do
- Show you the pipe. Every sewer repair we quote comes with the camera recording and the distance to each defect.
- Locate before we dig. The defect marked on the ground with its depth, and Tennessee 811 called before a shovel goes in.
- Choose the method from the footage. Lining, bursting or a trench, picked by what the line can take, with the reason given to you.
What we will not do
- Sell a new line for a clog. A grease plug in sound pipe is cleared, and the pipe is left alone.
- Line a pipe that has lost its shape. A liner copies whatever it cures inside, so an oval or sagging line gets a different fix.
- Bury work before it is inspected. A permitted repair stays uncovered until the inspector has signed off on it.
What we actually work on
Sewer lines and drains in Nashville, cleared, scoped and repaired.
The sewer and drain problems Middle Tennessee homeowners bring us most often:
- Sewage coming up a floor drain
- Every drain in the house slow at once
- Gurgling toilet when the washer drains
- Sewer smell in the yard or basement
- A soggy, sunken strip over the sewer line
- Roots back in the line every year
- Sump pump running and running
Who does the work, and what we require of them
A company does not take sewer and drain work from Nashville's Sewer and Drain on a handshake. This is what it has to meet before the first job, and keep meeting for every one after:
- A current Tennessee license wherever the sewer and drain work requires one, plus whatever certification the particular job calls for
- Liability insurance in force and on file with us before a sewer and drain contractor is sent anywhere, and workers’ compensation where there are employees
- A real address in Middle Tennessee and jobs here we can point to — not a dispatcher in another state with a local number
- The price in writing before the work starts, and no change to it without a conversation first
- The phone answered when a job goes wrong, and the work put right instead of argued about
The sewer and drain company doing our work holds the plumbing license its jobs require and carries liability insurance, its septic crews work under TDEC installer and pumper permits, and copies of all of it are on file with us before the first job.
Beyond the paperwork, the test is how somebody handles the part of a sewer and drain job that does not go to plan — the honest call when the estimate has to change, and whether you hear about it before the work or after. The drain cleaners who keep our work are the ones who have passed that test on jobs we know about.
If any of that stops being true, the sewer and drain work stops going there.
Why we do not publish reviews yet
No reviews on this page yet. The business is new, and a sewer repair is judged by the camera run after it and the years without a backup, so the reviews will come from those jobs.
Where we work
Sewer and drain calls from Nashville are covered together with Franklin, Brentwood, Murfreesboro, Hendersonville, part of the 101 towns across 12 counties on our routes. Each of the main cities has its own page — what its houses mean for sewer and drain, who issues the permits, which neighborhoods are inside the run.
If you want to understand the work before you speak to anyone, our sewer and drain guide covers what drives the price, what your options are and what a badly done job looks like — written so you can judge any sewer and drain contractor in the region, including us.
Who we are
Michael Blair owns and runs Nashville's Sewer and Drain and answers for everything it publishes. Our pages come from pipe and liner makers’ documentation, plumbing practice and Tennessee rules, and are revised when those change; each post names him as its author and shows the day it was published. The crews on our jobs hold the licenses and insurance the work requires, keep the promises above, and Nashville's Sewer and Drain stands behind what they do.
Before anyone opens a sewer line, check them: verify.tn.gov confirms a Tennessee license, request the insurance certificate before work begins, and each city page names the office that permits the work.
