FAQs

What are common signs of a main line clog?

Common signs of a main line clog include multiple drains backing up simultaneously, water pooling around floor drains, gurgling sounds from toilets, and unpleasant sewage odors. If you notice these signs, it's crucial to address the issue promptly to avoid serious damage.

How can I prevent clogs in my main line?

Preventing clogs in your main line involves regular maintenance such as scheduling annual inspections, avoiding flushing non-degradable items, not pouring grease down the drains, and using drain strainers to catch debris. These proactive measures can help keep your plumbing system running smoothly.

What methods are used to clear a main line clog?

Plumbers typically use several methods to clear main line clogs, including mechanical snaking, hydro jetting, and chemical treatments. Mechanical snaking involves using a specialized tool to break up blockages, while hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to clear out pipes. Chemical treatments may also be used to dissolve or break down clogs.

How do I know if I need to repair or replace my main sewer line?

Determining whether you need to repair or replace your main sewer line depends on the severity and nature of the issue. A professional plumber will conduct a thorough inspection, often using a sewer camera, to assess the condition of the pipe. Minor issues may be resolved with repairs, while extensive damage such as severe corrosion or recurring blockages may require a full replacement.

What should I do if my main line backs up during heavy rain?

If your main line backs up during heavy rain, it may be due to increased pressure on the sewer system or improper drainage. In such cases, avoid using any plumbing fixtures to prevent additional water from entering the system, and contact a professional plumber immediately. They can diagnose the issue and provide a solution to prevent future backups.

Are main line plumbing issues covered by homeowners insurance?

Homeowners insurance policies vary, so coverage for main line plumbing issues depends on the specifics of your policy. Generally, sudden and accidental damage may be covered, while gradual damage due to neglect or wear and tear might not be. It's important to review your policy and speak with your insurance provider to understand your coverage details.

I want to thank Jordan, Jimmy, and Tyrone for saving us alot of money and taking time to fish bottles and cans out of our sewer main. We didn't have to tear up our driveway because of the hard work and time they spent doing this. I will personally ask for these guys in the future!

Jacob Newman did a wonderful job with my PMI! 10/10 recommend. He was extremely helpful and didn’t care to go into full detail about things I had questions about. After our house flooded from busted pipes last year we have used HEP to keep a check on things. Again Mr.Newman is our go to man from now on!

Anthony and Tanner came today to install a power flush toilet, install two two-way clean outs and a sewer line from the garage to the house. In spite of encountering an unexpected situation, they worked diligently all day. Everything was completed, their work areas were cleaned up. They were friendly and courteous. Once again we are very pleased with HEP.
