FAQs

What are common signs of a main line problem?

Common signs of a main line problem include frequent sewer backups, multiple drains clogging at the same time, gurgling sounds from plumbing fixtures, water pooling around the yard, and a noticeable drop in water pressure. If you notice any of these issues, it's important to have a professional plumber inspect the system as soon as possible.

How can I prevent main line clogs and issues?

To prevent main line clogs, avoid flushing non-biodegradable items down the toilet, such as wipes and feminine hygiene products. Regularly clean out kitchen sink strainers to prevent grease and food particles from entering the pipes. Scheduling annual plumbing inspections can also help catch potential problems before they become serious.

What should I do if I suspect a main line blockage?

If you suspect a main line blockage, avoid using the plumbing system to prevent backup and flooding. Contact a professional plumber immediately to diagnose and fix the issue. They may use specialized equipment like cameras and pipe locators to identify the problem area and recommend appropriate solutions.

How are main line issues typically diagnosed?

Main line issues are typically diagnosed using advanced plumbing tools. A plumber may use a video camera inspection to visually inspect the inside of the main line, locating blockages or damage. They might also perform a hydrostatic pressure test to identify leaks in the system. These methods help pinpoint the exact cause of the problem for effective repairs.

What can cause main line damage?

Main line damage can be caused by various factors, including tree root intrusion, pipe corrosion, shifting soil, and ground movement. Aging pipes and external pressure from heavy machinery or construction work can also contribute to damage. Regular maintenance and inspections can help identify these issues early.

Are there any warranties or guarantees for main line repair works?

Most professional plumbing services provide warranties or guarantees for their main line repair work, but the specifics can vary. Typically, warranties cover parts and labor for a certain period, ensuring peace of mind. Always ask your plumber about the warranty terms and conditions before the work begins to understand what is covered.

Justin Trost came out to the house and helped us with our septic system. He helped us develop a plan that would be the most cost effective. He performed a visual inspection of the piping using a borescope and determined our septic system needed to be pumped. Because we used HEP to perform the service on the septic system, the $275 was waived. Tomorrow HEP will return and perform the following: - Remove the top soil of our septic tank, - Pump the septic tank, - Perform an inspection (hope we don't need any additional work, - Add a port so we are able to pump the system without removing the top soil and this will save us money in the future, We did have to pay for the entire project up-front but we are using a company with a good reputation. I will update this post once the job is completed for a final review.

HEP came out and pumped my septic tank and did a excellent job. John Payne was on site and was very knowledgeable about what he was doing. Everyone was kind and respectful. Very fast, but careful. He did recommend getting someone out to look at the pipes which I will do. John was just great. I will recommend using HEP. Thank you for a job well done.
