Drain Cleaning in Murfreesboro
A slow kitchen sink, a tub that holds water, a laundry drain that backs up every time the washer empties. Clogged drains are one of the most common calls a plumber gets, and Simply Plumbing clears them for homeowners across Murfreesboro and Middle Tennessee.
A licensed plumber is the one who comes out. We bring the right size machine for the line, clear the blockage, and if it looks like more than a simple clog, we can put a camera in the line so you know what you’re dealing with.
Signs a Drain Needs More Than a Plunger
A plunger handles plenty of everyday clogs. Call a plumber when you see:
- A drain that stays slow no matter what you try
- Gurgling from sinks, tubs, or toilets
- The same drain clogging again and again
- Bad odors coming up from a drain
- Water backing up in the tub when the washer drains or a toilet flushes
- More than one fixture backing up at the same time
The Right Equipment for the Line
Different drains need different tools. Simply Plumbing carries a small drain machine for sinks, tubs, and smaller branch lines, a large drain machine for main lines, and a RIDGID-style flex shaft that cleans the inside walls of small lines instead of just poking a hole through the clog.
There’s also a sewer camera and locator on the truck. When a clog keeps coming back or something doesn’t add up, we can run the camera down the line, see exactly what’s in there, and find its location from above ground.
Using the right tool for the line matters. A machine that’s too big for a small drain can damage the pipe, and one that’s too small for a main line just punches a hole that closes back up. We size the equipment to the job so the drain stays clear longer.

Options, then your OK
If there’s a bigger problem, you get your options and a price. Nothing else happens without your approval.
What Causes Most Clogs
In kitchens, it’s usually grease and food scraps that harden in the pipe. In bathrooms, it’s hair and soap. Wipes, even the ones labeled flushable, cause plenty of toilet and main line backups. In older homes, tree roots and pipe that has sagged or cracked over time can catch debris and clog over and over.
A few habits go a long way: keep grease out of the sink, put a strainer in the tub, and only flush toilet paper. If several fixtures back up at once, the problem is likely your main line, and that’s covered on our sewer line cleaning page.
Straight Answers From a Plumber, Not a Salesman
Simply Plumbing has no sales guys and doesn’t use sales tactics. If the camera shows a broken or collapsed pipe, we’ll show you what we found and talk through options, including sewer line repair if it comes to that. If it was just a clog, we’ll tell you that too. Small problems found along the way, like a leaky trap, fall under general plumbing repair.
Our plumber is well groomed, well spoken, parks on the street, and keeps your floors clean. If you’re in Murfreesboro or nearby and a drain is giving you trouble, call or text (931) 993-2525 or request service online.
