FAQs

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

Common signs include slow or clogged drains in multiple fixtures, frequent backups or gurgling sounds, foul odors coming from drains, and unexpected increases in your water bill. If you notice any of these issues, especially if they appear simultaneously, it might be a sign of a problem with your main line.

What typically causes main line blockages or damage?

Main line issues can be caused by a buildup of grease, soap scum, hair, and other debris that eventually hardens or clogs the pipes. In addition, tree roots can infiltrate and block the line, especially if your pipes are old or made of materials like clay or cast iron. Corrosion and shifting soil can also lead to cracks or breaks in the line.

How are main line issues diagnosed by professionals?

Plumbing professionals in Flintville use a variety of diagnostic tools to pinpoint problems. A common method is using a video camera inspection, which allows the plumber to visually inspect the inside of your pipes for blockages, cracks, or tree root intrusions. They may also use pressure testing to determine the severity of leaks or structural damage in the main line.

What repair options are available for main line problems?

The repair options for a main line predominantly depend on the extent of the damage. Common solutions include traditional excavation to remove the damaged section for repair or replacement, and trenchless sewer repair methods such as pipe lining or pipe bursting. Your plumber will assess your situation and recommend the most effective option to restore full functionality.

How can homeowners prevent main line clogs and damage?

Preventive maintenance is key to avoiding main line issues. Avoid disposing of grease, large food particles, and non-degradable items down your drains. Regular maintenance, including periodic inspections and cleaning by a professional, can help identify minor issues before they become major. If you have trees near your home, consider routine checks to ensure roots are not encroaching on your pipes.

When should I call a plumbing professional for main line concerns?

If you experience recurrent clogs, sewage backups, or notice any unusual signs such as persistent bad odors or water pressure issues, it's time to call a plumbing expert. Addressing problems early can prevent major disruptions and costly repairs. In Flintville, quick intervention often minimizes further damage and potential health hazards associated with sewage leaks.

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 !

Katie N.

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!

Jake V.

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.

Carlos R.

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.

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.

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.
