FAQs

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

Common signs of a main line plumbing issue include slow drains, gurgling noises in toilets or drains, water backing up into sinks, tubs, or showers, unpleasant odors coming from drains, and frequent clogs. These symptoms indicate that there might be a blockage or damage in the main sewer line that needs immediate attention.

How can I prevent main line clogs in my home?

To prevent main line clogs, avoid flushing non-biodegradable items like wipes, diapers, and feminine hygiene products down the toilet. Ensure that grease, oils, and food scraps do not go down the kitchen sink. Regularly clean drain traps and consider scheduling periodic professional inspections and cleanings to maintain the health of your main sewer line.

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

If you suspect a main line blockage, it’s important to stop using water in your home immediately to prevent further damage or overflow. Then, contact a professional plumber who specializes in main line issues. They can use advanced techniques like camera inspections to accurately diagnose and resolve the problem.

Can tree roots cause damage to my main sewer line?

Yes, tree roots are one of the most common causes of main sewer line damage. They can infiltrate even small cracks in pipes to seek out moisture, eventually growing larger and causing significant blockages or breaks. To mitigate this risk, regular inspections and cutting back tree roots near your sewer line can be beneficial.

How is a main line repaired, and what are the options available?

Main line repairs can be addressed using several methods. Traditional repair involves excavating the area to replace the damaged pipe sections. Trenchless methods like pipe bursting and pipe lining are less invasive alternatives. Pipe bursting replaces the old pipe by breaking it apart while simultaneously pulling a new pipe into place, whereas pipe lining involves inserting a resin-coated liner into the existing pipe which hardens to form a new pipe within the old one. A professional plumber can recommend the best option based on your specific situation.

How much does it cost to repair or replace a main sewer line in Cleveland?

The cost to repair or replace a main sewer line in Cleveland can vary widely based on factors such as the extent of the damage, the chosen repair method, and the location of the sewer line. On average, traditional trenching can cost between $50 to $250 per foot, while trenchless options can range from $60 to $200 per foot. It’s best to get a detailed estimate from a professional plumber to understand the exact costs for your situation.

What our customers say

Tim White did an excellent job. Having a septic leak inside my house was an urgent nightmare, Tim arrived within a few hours when most other companies were days out. Tim worked hard to ensure my family had water and the issue fixed by the end of the day. Our area is very fortunate to have Tim as a trustworthy plumber!

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!
