FAQs

What are the common signs of a main line plumbing issue?

Common signs of a main line plumbing issue include consistently slow drains, gurgling noises from your plumbing fixtures, frequent backups, unpleasant odors, and sewage pooling in your yard. If you notice any of these signs, it's crucial to address the problem promptly to avoid extensive damage.

How can I prevent main line plumbing problems?

Prevent main line plumbing issues by avoiding flushing non-degradable items down the toilet, such as wipes, feminine hygiene products, and paper towels. Regularly inspect and clean your drains, use a drain guard to catch debris, and avoid pouring grease down the sink. Additionally, schedule routine professional inspections and maintenance.

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

If you suspect a main line clog, immediately stop using all plumbing fixtures to prevent a backup. Check whether multiple drains are affected. If so, contact a professional plumber to diagnose and fix the problem. Avoid using chemical drain cleaners as they can damage your pipes and are often ineffective on main line clogs.

How is a main line clog diagnosed and fixed?

A professional plumber will typically use a specialized camera to inspect the inside of your main line and identify the location and cause of the clog. Common solutions include hydro jetting, which uses high-pressure water to clear the blockage, or a mechanical auger, also known as a plumber's snake, to break up and remove debris.

Can tree roots cause main line plumbing issues?

Yes, tree roots can penetrate your main line through small cracks or joints and cause significant blockages and damage. Trees searching for moisture can invade your plumbing systems. Regular maintenance and using root-killing chemicals can help manage this issue, but severe cases may require professional repair or replacement of the damaged pipes.

How much does it cost to repair a main line issue in Bluff City?

The cost to repair a main line issue in Bluff City can vary greatly depending on the nature and severity of the problem, as well as the specific rates of local plumbers. On average, you might expect to pay between $500 to $2,500 for standard repairs. More extensive repairs, such as replacing a segment of the main line, can cost significantly more. It's best to get a detailed estimate from a qualified plumbing professional.

What our customers say

Shaun Russell did a great job and was in and out! No more leak!

Andrea B.

They came out within a few hours to temporarily fix a pipe and then a few days later to completely replace the old cast iron pipes under our house and in the yard to the road. Worked in the rain and wore booties in the house to keep the floors clean. I really appreciated that. They apologized when it was taking a little longer than expected but they finished quicker than I thought it would take. They did a good clean up as well. Good guys! Definitely will recommend. My dog also loved them so that’s a plus :)

HEP did a water line replacement for me after my original galvanized line suddenly failed on a weekend. They were able to put in a temporary above-ground line quickly the following Monday, and had the actual line permitted, installed, and backfilled about two days afterwards. Customer service was great, and they were quick to resolve some water infiltration problems from their first attempt at bringing the new line into the basement. Cost was reasonable for the quality of service and the lifetime warranty.

I was let down by 3 local plumbers, 2 No shows, only 1 called to let me know He was not coming. After my initial call on Friday May 1st, i knew this guys meant business. Shawn came the same day and a patch my sewer line that was leaking and causing an awful smell. Emergancy! With a pregnant wife and a 2 yo in State of luck down. Zack and Austin came on May 5th and fixed all my sewer issues. 1 day job, they replaced everything. I had a mess in the crawl space and they saved the day. I will highly recommend HEP to all friends and family. Shawn, Zach and Austin gained my respect immediately with their respectful and punctual attitudes. Positive response to our needs and Got to work. They did a clean and professional job. Thank you all, Happy Customer 🙏 God bless you all.

We were having some serious issues with our plumbing. When i did the laundry and the washer went into the drain and spin cycle water and sewage would back up into our shower and bathtub. Our commodes wouldn't flush proper. We called Hep, Brady came out the same day. Diagnosed the problem. He was thorough and very helpful. He explained everything that needed to be done. He was very professional. We will be highly recommending him to others needing a plumber. Thankyou Brady.

I had a major plumbing issue at 9:00pm on Saturday night. Pipe leading from our house to the septic tank was clogged and all water exiting the house was backing up and overflowing from a capped pipe in the basement. We had sewage water spilling everywhere since we had not been in the basement all day. It was an absolute disgusting mess. We were unable to shower, flush a toilet, or even wash our hands without it spilling into the basement. Wife found online where HEP offered 24 hrs service. We called HEP and they dispatched Aaron from Knoxville to our house in Jefferson City. Aaron was at our house by 11:00pm, and had us unclogged by midnight. For a Saturday night 11:00pm call, Aaron highly exemplified professionalism from the time he showed up, until the time he left. My wife and I were so very thankful for Aaron and HEP. We highly recommend Aaron and HEP for future plumbing issues.
