FAQs

What are the most common causes of main line blockages in Altamont homes?

Main line blockages are often caused by tree root intrusion, grease build-up, sediment and debris accumulation, and foreign objects accidentally flushed into the system. In Altamont, older piping systems are particularly prone to damage from shifting soils and roots, so homeowners should be aware of these common culprits.

How can I tell if there is a problem with my plumbing main line?

Warning signs include slow drainage in sinks and tubs, multiple clogged drains occurring at the same time, gurgling noises coming from the pipes, and unpleasant sewer odors around your property. If you notice any of these signs, it may indicate an issue with your main line that needs prompt professional attention.

What diagnostic methods do professional plumbers use to identify main line issues?

Plumbers typically use advanced camera inspections to visually inspect the interior of your main lines. This helps identify blockages, cracks, or tree root intrusions. Additionally, they may utilize pressure testing and sewer line mapping to accurately diagnose the problem before undertaking any repairs.

What repair options are available for damaged or clogged main lines?

Depending on the extent and type of damage, repair options may include sewer line snaking or hydro jet cleaning to remove blockages, resin lining or pipe bursting for more severe issues, and complete pipe replacement if the damage is extensive. A professional assessment is essential to determine the best solution for your situation.

Are there any preventive measures that homeowners in Altamont can take to avoid main line issues?

Yes, regular maintenance such as routine inspections and cleaning can help prevent unexpected blockages. Avoid flushing non-degradable items, dispose of grease properly, and consider installing root barriers if you have large trees nearby. These practices can significantly reduce the risk of main line complications.

What should I expect from a professional plumbing service when addressing main line issues?

A reputable plumbing service will start with a thorough inspection, often using video camera technology, to accurately diagnose the issue. They will then explain the repair options, provide a detailed estimate, and complete the work efficiently while adhering to all local codes and standards. Many companies also offer guarantees for their work, ensuring that your main line is restored to optimal condition.

Adam was able to locate and repair my main water line in the mud whilst dodging thorn bushes, wasps, snakes, cougars, drugged up hillbillies, and velociraptors. He was very professional, polite, and accommodating as can be. Give this guy a raise.

Highly recommend this company. Septic backed up after 9pm on a Friday night, gave Hep a call and got a response almost immediately! Matt was here and working his heart out by 7 the next morning in the rain and cold. I really can't say enough nice things about him! Fixed our problem and pumped the tank, that to be honest, hadn't been pumped in years. Will use them for any future plumbing or septic issues! Price was more than fair for the amount of work. I couldn't have asked for better service!

Saturday while digging a trench for a french drain I made the bonehead mistake of hitting our main waterline. Last minute on the weekend I had no water to the house. I called HEP because they had done some electrical work on the house when we were buying it and I knew they did good work. They got me on their list and before too long Roger was out at the house. Roger did a great job and worked quickly. After working in the yard all day long all we wanted was showers and he got the water running so we could do that. We are completely happy with the job and the service. Thanks HEP and thanks Roger. Jason Thompson Knoxville, TN

Before I called HEP, another company came out associated with my home warranty and didn’t do anything to fix the issue. Thank goodness for HEP. Todd Farner was my service tech and he was amazing! Professional, knowledgeable, helpful, and very thorough. I had a main drain line blockage in my new home. Todd made sure my plumbing was in order. Todd went above and beyond my expectations. I would highly recommend calling him if you have a plumbing issue!

Can't say enough good things about HEP. We came home from vacation last week to an overflow situation with our septic tank. Called HEP around 4 pm on a Friday and they were here and ready to fix the problem within a few hours. Our tech was super friendly, very knowledgeable and had the septic tank cleaned up and problems resolved quickly. Will definitely be recommending HEP to our friends and neighbors. THANK YOU!!!!
