FAQs

What are the common signs of a main line clog in Etowah?

Common signs of a clogged main line include slow drainage in multiple fixtures, gurgling sounds from drains, unpleasant odors in your home, and recurring backups. If water is pooling around your yard or your toilet regularly overflows, these are clear indicators that you may have a main line clog that needs immediate professional attention.

How can I tell if I have a clogged main sewer line rather than a localized drain clog?

If you experience backups or drainage issues in several areas of your home at the same time, it is likely that the blockage is in your main sewer line. A localized clog typically affects only one drain or fixture. In contrast, main line issues cause widespread problems and are often accompanied by slow drainage and foul odors inside and outside your home.

What are the common causes of main line issues in Etowah?

Main line issues can be caused by a variety of factors including tree root intrusion, buildup of grease and debris, shifting soils, and age-related deterioration of pipes. In areas like Etowah, older plumbing systems are more susceptible to these problems, making regular inspections and preventive maintenance especially important.

What should I do if I suspect a main sewer line problem?

The first step is to stop using water in your home to prevent further damage or flooding. Then, contact a licensed plumbing professional who is experienced with main line issues. They can perform an inspection, often using video camera technology, to accurately diagnose the problem and recommend the best course of action.

How much does main line repair typically cost in Etowah?

The cost of main line repairs can vary widely depending on factors such as the nature of the problem, the length of the affected pipe, and whether excavation is required. In Etowah, repairs can range from a few hundred dollars for minor clogs to several thousand dollars for extensive damage or full pipe replacement. It’s best to have a professional assessment to provide a precise estimate.

Can routine maintenance help prevent main line issues?

Yes, regular maintenance can significantly reduce the likelihood of main line issues. Scheduling periodic inspections and cleanings can help remove buildup and detect early signs of problems. Additionally, being mindful of what you dispose of in your drains, such as grease and non-degradable items, can help maintain a healthy sewer line system.

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!!!

A big thank you to Josh Herndon for being persistent and thorough in diagnosing my plumbing issue. He was the hero of the day! Then John and Damien showed up with the heavy equipment and did an amazing job, digging up and replacing a cracked pipe. Josh, John, and Damien resolved my issue and my family is very grateful. Professional, friendly, and they provided amazing service.

Shelly C.

Great service from Jason and Terry! They came out in the rain to repair a leak in the waterline in the yard. Super fast work and a pleasure to interact with. Highly recommend!

The works not been completed as of this post, however, my family and I recently acquired our “forever home”. We found that it needed some work (as to be expected for a 22 year old house). We were having plumbing issues specifically with the basement bathroom. Vladimir Vysotsky not only came out late, but stayed until 2230 hours until he felt he had fully diagnosed our situation with a crushed line likely from tree roots. He seemed very confident, knowledgable, and genuine. Thankful for people like Vladimir who are willing to come out late and do a dirty job to try to keep our lives on track. Great guy.

Connor Haydon, with HEP Plumbing, was fantastic! Very friendly and extremely professional. Arrived on time and used his time wisely. We had multiple issues with our plumbing and he was able to give us several options for addressing the situation. He, unfortunately, ran into a couple of venomous snakes under the house and yet still continued with his work! Definitely would hire again for any future needs. Thanks so much!

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 !
