Tennessee Standard Plumbing is inviting Corryton homeowners to use its growing DIY YouTube channel, which is designed to help residents understand and maintain their home plumbing systems. As of late October 2026, the channel, which dates back to 2020, features more than 485 videos and has reached an audience of over 2,600 subscribers. Tennessee Standard Plumbing is a Knoxville-based, family-owned company with five generations of plumbing experience, and Kelton Balka is its owner.

The channel offers step-by-step guidance on common household plumbing topics, from drain maintenance to complete whole-house plumbing rough-ins. A recent series is a seven-part set of videos titled “How to Plumb a Whole House,” published between September and October 2026. The series opens with an introduction and plumbing materials selection, then moves room by room through the rough-in stage for a first bathroom, the laundry room, a guest bath, the kitchen, a second bathroom, and the master bath. The first bathroom rough-in episode is the most-viewed video in the series, with nearly 30,000 views as of late October 2026.

The effort reflects a broader commitment by the company to share professional plumbing knowledge with the communities it serves in Corryton and across the greater Knoxville area. Alongside technical tutorials, the channel documents the company’s Nehemiah Initiative, a program created to serve and support individuals and families in the greater Knoxville area who are experiencing hardship. One Nehemiah Initiative video shows the team helping Katie, a Knoxville widow whose aging copper piping had developed major leaks, by installing a whole-home leak detection and prevention system at no cost.

“The goal with the channel has always been to pull back the curtain on a trade that can feel intimidating to the average homeowner,” said Kelton Balka of Tennessee Standard Plumbing. “When people understand how their plumbing actually works, they can make better decisions about their homes, whether they choose to handle a small repair themselves or call in a professional for something more complex.”

As licensed plumbers in Corryton, the Tennessee Standard Plumbing team provides both residential and commercial services, including drain repair, water piping, water heater service, water treatment, gas line service, and bathroom remodels. The company also handles underground water and drain work, sewer camera inspection, sewer line repair and replacement, and sump pump installation. On the commercial side, services extend to backflow testing and certification, underground plumbing, water line boring, and boiler and water heater maintenance for apartment complexes, schools, offices, and other facilities.

Balka noted that the video library is intended as a long-term reference rather than a one-time project. “The plan is to keep building this out so that residents in every area we serve have a trusted place to turn for straightforward plumbing information,” he said. “Each video is meant to answer a real question that homeowners deal with every day.”

The channel continues to add new tutorials, shorts, and playlists covering residential and commercial plumbing topics, reflecting the hands-on experience of a family trade passed down through five generations.

Tennessee Standard Plumbing is a family-owned plumbing company based in Knoxville, Tennessee, serving residential and commercial clients in Corryton and throughout the greater Knoxville area. The company offers a full range of services, including drain, water heater, gas line, water treatment, and underground plumbing solutions, and operates the Nehemiah Initiative to support local families experiencing hardship.
