About us
Trenchless sewer repair, pipe lining and drain cleaning across Franklin, Nashville and nearby towns
Prodigy Sewer & Drain restores failing sewer lines from the inside with cured-in-place lining, pipe bursting and spot repairs, so lawns, driveways and patios stay where they are, and it still digs when excavation is the better answer. The company dates to 2010 in Long Beach, California, set up in Tennessee in 2023, and sends crews from its Franklin headquarters, with Nashville its busiest market.
Founder Mark Ellefson has 21 years in the trade, brought five pipelining systems to Tennessee and trains each technician in lining and camera inspection himself. The shop holds installer certifications from Perma-Liner and MaxLiner along with NASSCO certification, and its lining work carries a 10-year workmanship warranty. Its rule is to "diagnose before we sell": jobs start on camera, and the customer keeps the footage.
Crews also hydro jet main lines, scope sewers for home buyers, replace cast iron and Orangeburg pipe, and service septic systems, grinder pumps and sump pumps, around the clock. In The Gulch they traced an offset joint beneath a building’s marble patio and had the tenants back in service in about three hours.

Frequently asked questions
Why do I have no hot water?
On a gas heater the usual causes are a pilot or thermocouple failure, a tripped gas control, or a failed thermostat; on electric it is nearly always a burnt-out heating element or a tripped high-limit reset. If the water is warm but runs out fast, the dip tube or the lower element has gone rather than the whole heater. A tank that is leaking from the body itself cannot be repaired and needs replacing.
What determines the cost of a plumbing repair?
Access, materials and whether the work is diagnostic or known. A visible supply-line leak is quick; the same leak under a slab means locating it first, which is the expensive part. Fixture work is largely the price of the fixture. Anything requiring the water shut off to the street, a permit, or drywall and tile put back afterwards costs more than the plumbing itself.
Is a slab leak serious?
Yes, and it does not get better. A slab leak is a pressurized line failing under the concrete, so the water goes into the ground and under the house rather than somewhere visible. The signs are a hot patch on the floor, a running water meter with everything off, an unexplained bill jump, or damp at the edge of a room. Left alone it undermines the slab and grows mold.
What plumbing can I do myself?
Anything that does not involve gas, the main water line, or opening a wall: swapping a tap washer, replacing a toilet fill valve, clearing a trap, changing a showerhead. Where it stops is gas piping, water heater installation, anything requiring a permit, and drain clearing beyond a hand auger — a powered machine in inexperienced hands cracks old cast iron and turns a blockage into a replacement.
Does hard water cause problems in Nashville?
Yes. Middle Tennessee water is moderately hard, and the scale it deposits shortens water heater life, blocks aerators and shower heads, and leaves fixtures looking permanently dirty. Flushing the water heater annually removes the sediment that insulates the burner and makes the unit work harder. It is the cheapest maintenance in the house and the most commonly skipped.
