FAQs

What are the common signs of main line plumbing issues in Briceville?

Main line plumbing issues often present with warning signs such as slow draining sinks, frequent backups in multiple fixtures, foul odors coming from drains, and unusual gurgling noises. In Briceville, where older plumbing may be common, these symptoms should prompt a timely inspection to prevent larger problems.

What typically causes main line blockages or failures?

Blockages in the main line can be due to a buildup of grease, hair, and debris, tree root intrusion, or damage from ground shifting. Older pipes may develop cracks or breaks, and invasive tree roots are a common issue in the Briceville area. Regular maintenance can help mitigate these risks.

How do professional plumbers diagnose main line issues?

Plumbers use several diagnostic tools including video camera inspections to visually examine the interior of pipes, electronic locators to pinpoint problem areas, and pressure tests. This comprehensive approach helps identify blockages, cracks, leaks, or signs of corrosion within the main line.

Why is it important to address main line issues promptly?

Ignoring main line problems can lead to extensive water damage, costly repairs, and potential health hazards due to sewage backups. Timely repairs help prevent property damage, reduce potential mold growth, and ensure the plumbing system operates efficiently, ultimately saving money in the long-run.

Are repairs for main line issues covered under warranty or homeowner’s insurance?

Coverage for main line repairs depends on your specific warranty or insurance policy. Some warranties may cover repairs due to installation or manufacturing issues, while homeowner’s insurance often covers sudden, accidental damage but not gradual wear and tear. It’s best to review your policy details or consult with your provider.

What preventative measures can homeowners take to avoid future main line issues?

Homeowners can reduce the risk of main line problems by scheduling regular plumbing inspections, avoiding flushing inappropriate items down the drain, and keeping tree roots in check near sewer lines. Additionally, routine cleaning and maintenance by a local Briceville professional can help extend the lifespan of your plumbing system.

We had a problem with our drainage in our house. We contacted HEP Knoxville late in the day and were able to get an experienced technician, Jason Palmer, who diagnosed our problem promptly and worked very hard digging under our deck to access our septic tank and release the clogged pipe. Jason was very polite, knowledgeable and very informative throughout the whole process. We are very satisfied with the whole experience.

Zak and Damien were just amazing! Spent almost 8 hrs under our house replacing all the pipes. No more leaks or overflowing. They were also polite, courteous and professional.

Judi T.

Had a leak in the ceiling. Called HEP and they sent Vladimir. The leaked stopped and he could not find it again. He did everything in his power to find out what happened. He even called for help. This young man was professional, courteous, and neat. Vladimir explained in detail what he was doing and why. He also gave us recommendations on what to look for if the leak returns. Highly recommended.

Amanda, Braden and Jordan were fantastic!!!! Amanda took pictures to let us see what was the problem, gave us a quote and called the next day to check up. Customer service was fast on getting it schedule for the next day. Braden &Jordan did a terrific job on repiping my drains and replacing my water main under the house, my drains are now flowing with no more backing up and water pressure is better now that i don't have a leaking water main. If you need plumbing work of any kind HEP is who you need to call. Thank you again!!!

Josh and Damion were polite, very informative and helpful when inspecting and explaining our problem areas. Josh also informed and educated us on things we didn't even know was going on with our plumbing. It was nice he didn't rush through the inspection just to get to his next customer also.

Nick did a terrific job of diagnosing my gas line problem. Very efficient and professional!

Josh here AGAIN. This will be my second 5 star review for the workers of HEP. This review is for Josh Herndon. This guy went above and beyond working past 2000 hours on a Sunday and he even went as far as to CRAWL BETWEEN floor joist on my house which has a basement to reroute a dryer vent that I couldn’t feed through due to other utility obstacles. I’m not sure what these workers of HEP get paid or how, but if I were HEP admin, I’d make sure they stay around. I’d also like to give a shout out to the crew HEP sent to replace the severely clogged/damaged drainage main. All the guys they sent out here to diagnose/work were too-notch…price wasn’t easy to swallow, but these guys can’t work for free and had better pricing to others compared in the Knoxville area.

Kudos for Amanda for staying and resolving my main line connection to the house leak. It's not easy work and she stayed with it until it was completed. The repair will be robust and happy with their service !
