FAQs

What are common signs of a main line issue in Calhoun?

Common signs include frequent clogs, slow drainage, gurgling sounds in the pipes, unpleasant odors near drains, and unexpected backups in toilets or sinks. These symptoms indicate that there may be a blockage or a break in the main sewer line that requires professional attention.

How can I tell if my main line is blocked or damaged?

If you notice multiple drains backing up at the same time or observe pooling water near your foundation or yard, these are strong indications of a main line problem. Additionally, if you've had recurring clogs despite regular cleaning of your drain pipes, the issue might be deeper in the main line which should be inspected by a plumber.

What methods do plumbers use to diagnose main line issues?

Plumbers typically use specialized equipment such as video camera inspections to visually examine the inside of the sewer pipes. They may also employ diagnostic tools like hydro jetters or smoke tests to determine the exact location and cause of the blockage or damage in the main line.

Are main line repairs covered by homeowners' insurance in Calhoun?

Coverage can vary by policy and the cause of the damage. Generally, if the issue is due to a sudden event like a tree root intrusion or a pipe break, it may be covered, but wear-and-tear or gradual deterioration is usually not. It is best to review your policy or consult with your insurance provider for specifics.

What options are available for repairing or replacing a damaged main line?

Repair options vary depending on the extent of the damage. Some issues can be resolved with trenchless repair techniques like pipe lining, which minimizes disruption to your property. In cases of severe damage, a full replacement of the main line may be necessary. Your plumber will evaluate the condition of your pipe and recommend the best course of action.

How can I prevent future main line issues?

Regular maintenance is key to preventing main line issues. You can reduce risks by avoiding flushing inappropriate items, scheduling periodic sewer line inspections, and addressing minor clogs promptly. Additionally, taking care of tree roots near your sewer lines by monitoring them and trimming branches can help prevent future blockages caused by root intrusion.

My experience was wonderful with Amanda, a HEP employee. I had serious plumbing problems (no water at all) on May 24th. She came right away. Stayed until she solved the problem. She would not quit!! She deserves a raise in my opinion. She's an AllStar 5 in my book. Thank you Amanda for staying with it until you figured it out!! Pat King, in Sweetwater, TN

Had to call HEP for an emergency service for a backed up sewage line. Isaac came out ASAP, walked me through possible scenarios so I knew what he was about to do. He was friendly, courteous, and efficient. It's nice to see HEP has some solid people working for them! Follow-up: Austin and Kane came out to remove the tree roots stuck in our pipeline, and replaced the existing parts. The works looks great, and everything is running like it's supposed to. Again, I'm impressed with the work the HEP team performs.

Had to call for help with a broken water line in my laundry room...water everywhere! Thought I was gonna be without water for a couple of days as plumbers are always so busy, but HEP were fast to dispatch a an expert plumber to my house in under 24 hours. Nicholas quickly assessed the problem and created a plan that would correct not just the broken pipe, but would upgrade my system, preventing future problems from worn out parts. Thanks HEP, and thanks so much for everything Nicholas, you're the best!
