I called The Plumbing Authority to help with the water pressure in my house. Jake D came out and reviewed my situation and walked me through his findings. He walked me to the problem areas of my house. He gave me a few options and I was able to pick the one I was most comfortable with. They started the process right then. My water issue was fixed and I am good to go. Thanks to Jake D (in the field) and Nancy who set up my appointment and confirmed the night before. I highly recommend The Plumbing Authority.

I have been trying everything to unclog a bathtub drain that refused to clear. This bathtub hadn't been used in several years and we had decided to update all the fixtures and put it back into use. Once we did we learned the drain was highly clogged. No water draining even after 24 hours. I tried every drain-cleaning product out there. I even tried air pressure. No luck. I called them for their $93 challenge where they unclog it or it is free. I wasn't that optimistic and thought they would be unable to clear it and give me a proposal for extensive work. The technician Jake Newman showed up. He was punctual, professional, and friendly. He explained how he would attempt several ways to clear the drain. He explained that about 70% of the bathtub drains can be unclogged with the $93 challenge. So I let him go at it. Within 20 minutes he had it cleared and draining beautifully. I wish I would have called them before buying all those do-it-yourself products. I will, without a doubt, reach out to this company again. Very pleased.
Thank you Jake!!!!!
Thank you Jake!!!!!

Jake installed a new commode for us. Before we decided on that he gave us other options. He explained the pros and cons of each. He was very thorough in advising us of everything he was going to do before he did it and explained to us what he had done. I will ask for Jake for any future plumbing needs.

Jake N was wonderful to work with. He was prompt, knowledgeable, courteous and knowledgeable,
I had a small issue this time and I was so happy to see Jake again. I learn something about my house every time he’s here.
Before leaving he asked if anything else needed attention and as a matter of fact I recalled a a mysterious noise coming from my irrigation equipment. He looked at it, diagnosed the problem and in 5 minutes the noise was gone!

Steven was professional, courteous and was able to complete the job within the estimate. He had been to our home before and was kind enough to follow up and ask if we were having any trouble with it. TPA has become my first call when I have issues precisely because I received this kind of service on each call. From dispatch to service, it's smooth and when I've compared pricing, it's pretty competitive. I highly recommend TPA.

We had a great experience with The Plumbing Authority. Jake came out on a Thursday to assess an issue we had with our hot water; he was able to resolve the problem and gave us all the options (necessary, better, best) to move forward without pressure and within our budget. By Monday, Rio and Jason installed a new water heater and water softening system! They all did great work!

Josh and Josh were right on time, completed the work in the time promised and were great to interact with. They outlined exactly what they were going to do, found a couple of unknown issues and addressed those. I will only use PA for my plumbing needs because of the great treatment i recieve with every member of their team

Steve Owens performed water heater maintenance for me.
He observed significant flaws in my kitchen and bathroom plumbing that is concerning. He gave me different quotes for the different options in upgrading my plumbing to avoid serious issues. Steve explained each option thoroughly. I was glad to be able to make this decision before it became an emergency.

I heard about The Plumbing Authority on the radio and finally called about a clogged drain, waiting to hear the catch to the advertised deal. Turns out, there was no catch. I called in the morning, had an appointment that day, and once Jake Decker got to my home he had the clogged drain taken care of in no time. Jake was also very informative about services the company provides. I would recommend them.

Jacob N came to diagnosis reason behind high water bills and look at several other issues I had been putting off. He was very nice, professional, and clearly expert in his trade. He laid out different repair options and did not pressure me or act like a salesman. I would highly recommend using plumbing authority

Excellent company! Jake N. was very kind and took his time explaining everything he was inspecting/repairing. He replaced a hose bib outside and also a wax ring on the toilet in a timely manner and with fair prices. We will continue to use this company for any plumbing needs in the future and highly recommend!

The most professional plumbing company I’ve ever seen! The office staff were friendly and responsive. Jake, who did the initial consultation, was very thorough and took his time to explain everything and answer questions. Marc was the plumber who did the work and was extremely professional and did a great job. Highly recommend.

I just had my yearly service performed by Steve Owens from Plumbing Authority. He descaled my tankless water heater, performed a thorough review of my pipes, and cleaned out a drain that is used by four girls(the biggest hairball I have ever seen). Steve, you did a wonderful job. Thank you for all the work you did. I will definitely call The Plumbing Authority the next time I have a problem. GREAT WORK!!!!

When turning on my water we heard a dreadful piercing squeal. I assumed it was my tankless water heater since that was the general area of the sound and it had been 9 years since heater installation. Mikhail Lynch came out to assess and determined it was the pressure reducing valve and not the heater. We scheduled a replacement appointment and Jake Decker came out to perform the work. Jake was AWESOME! He was extremely professional and prompt and explained every step of every action he was taking. There was nothing that was a “surprise!” We signed up for the membership and he walked through the house checking every water connection. Overall between the two visits, Plumbing Authority has become my go to experts. I trust my largest asset (my home) to them completely. Each visit was ended with a suggested area to watch and written estimates for different services. I can’t say enough good things. If you need plumbing work or are considering getting estimates… you MUST include and consider Plumbing Authority!

Mark was extremely helpful answering our questions and patiently explaining the problem leak. He fixed the leak with minimal damage to walls and ceiling and even provided the name of a competent contractor so we were able to finish the project with little stress. We are happy to highly recommend him and others from The Plumbing Authority.

Hands down the best plumbers in Knoxville. Huge thank you to Rio and Danny for the excellent work. The office was wonderful as well. Appointments were quick and seamless. Mikhail, Rio, and Danny were knowledgeable, courteous, and friendly. They listened and understood what I needed and—bonus— they treated me like a human being. Empathy goes a long way! I highly recommend The Plumbing Authority and I will certainly use them in the future when needed.

I can't say enough good things about The Plumbing Authority...they are extremely professional, knowledgeable, and helpful. Jake N came out initially to unclog a drain at my father's house and provided outstanding service. I wish I could give him more than 5 Stars. His work ethic is second to none.
We ended up having to replace all of the old cast iron plumbing in the home. I believe that Cody & Rio did the work. They were great. Their supervisor, Mark, showed up on the last day as well. The team was kind/courteous and did excellent work. I would highly recommend this company to anyone needing plumbing services.

They were super honest and had the best estimate after several other company's had looked at my plumbing issues. They were totally professional and did not leave a mess after digging and repair some major pipes. There was an issue after the major repairs were completed with a different set of pipes. They returned immediately fixed the problem and cleaned the mess up. I would recommend them to fix any plumbing issues you have big or small.

They not only completed the job to perfection but also went above and beyond to ensure I was completely satisfied with the results. It’s rare to find a company that takes the time to truly care about their customers, and these guys did just that. I highly recommend them for anyone looking for reliable, top-notch plumbing services!

The workers called to tell me when they would arrive. They explained what they would be doing and how they would go about it. They worked straight through and finished faster than I thought. The work was very good and they did a great job cleaning up the old cast iron pipe. Based on this experience, I would hire them again.

Jake was AWESOME! Honest, thorough, and customer-focused care throughout inspection, detection, and service option election. While their pricing may be a little bit higher across the board, PA’s attention to detail, priority on customer needs, and ability to compromise to gain agreement are worth every penny!

I am very pleased with the customer service so far. If I choose to have my projects completed I would absolutely use The Plumbing Authority. They came highly recommended to me by family members who have used them and now I see why.

Jake has done various jobs for us through the year. Today's services was to do the dishwasher. He travels an hour and a half to get to me. He is professional and knowledgeable willing to answer questions. He explains things very clearly so you get what is going on with your plumbing. From propane line replacements, to complete plumbing line replacements. Maintaining our tankless and water treatment tanks. I am a forever client. Staff is great as well when I call. TPA has been here for us for 4 years. Thank you.

Really wonderful experience with Mark at The Plumbing Authority! Had a fairly complicated (to me anyway) basement plumbing reroute as part of a remodel. Mark was patient, knowledgeable, and extremely proficient. He quickly assessed, came up with solutions, and made sure they would work with the remodel saving me time and frustration while also keeping the cost reasonable. Can't say enough positive things about Mark's professionalism, politeness, and demeanor. Highly recommend Mark and The Plumbing Authority for any plumbing needs you have.
God Bless and Thanks!!

I’m from out of town and needed some local plumbing help on a project. These guys jumped right in and got me scheduled and taken care of quickly! Marc and Steve are exceptionally professional, knowledgeable and easy to work with.
Nancy in the office went the extra mile to get me scheduled and taken care of!
I operate a plumbing company in South Carolina. These folks are super! I want them on my team! They would raise our customer service level!
I am impressed. If ever I have the opportunity to work in the Knoxville TN area again, I will only use Plumbing Authority.

Marc came from The Plumbing Authority to replace a blue hose on my tankless hot water heater. The hose was too short, but the guy did a fantastic job 👏 and replaced the hose.
Susan and Nance have a lot of responsibility to keep these boys straight. They work in the office. Hard job.
Jake, big Josh, little Josh, and Marc are the best plumbers I have ever seen. ❤️
If you don't call The Plumbing Authority, then you are in trouble. Plumbing Authority is a very honest plumbing company out there. Differently the best in East Tennessee.

Jake installed an outdoor spigot for us and capped the gas line to our stove so that we could install an induction range. He was friendly and so courteous; he kept our home clean and was careful about shutting doors behind him (we have an indoor cat, so this matters to me). The Plumbing Authority is easy to schedule with and efficient.

I was very pleased with everything that Jake did but I was disappointed in the amount of subfloor that was taken out and replaced. The quote made by Makhail was supposed to have a carpenter included to replace the subfloor that was damaged. Jake said that he was only supposed to replace enough to replace the toilet and that the tile people might need to do more. Fix it for good! This was not done, in fact Makhail told me that the carpenter (sub contractor) would make the project seamless for the tile to be installed. Only one person showed up and he did what he was told to do. That’s all for now 🤔

I would give Jake 10 stars. This was my best experience ever. He was respectful and explained everything. Fixed the fireplace and installed bidet. Never been happier. The staff that answered the call also were polite and very professional. Thanks for all of your help. You will always be the ones I call and will recommend you to others.
