FAQs

What are common signs of main line plumbing issues?

Common signs of main line plumbing issues include slow drains, frequent toilet backups, gurgling sounds from drains, and water pooling around floor drains. Additionally, if multiple fixtures are backing up simultaneously, it can be a strong indication of a main line problem.

What causes main line blockages?

Main line blockages can be caused by a variety of factors including tree roots infiltrating the pipes, buildup of grease, fats, and other debris, as well as collapsed or damaged pipes. In older homes, pipe corrosion can also contribute to blockages.

How can I prevent main line clogs?

To prevent main line clogs, avoid flushing non-degradable items such as wet wipes, feminine hygiene products, and excessive amounts of toilet paper. Regular maintenance, such as having your pipes inspected and cleaned periodically, can also help prevent clogs. Finally, be mindful of what is going down your drains; avoid pouring grease or large food particles into the sink.

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

If you suspect a main line clog, it’s best to contact a professional plumber immediately. Trying to handle it yourself can sometimes exacerbate the problem. A professional can use specialized tools and techniques, such as a drain snake or hydro jetting, to diagnose and address the issue effectively.

How are main line issues diagnosed?

Main line issues are typically diagnosed using a combination of techniques. A plumber may start by running water through the system and checking for backups. They may also use a camera inspection, sending a small camera through the pipes to visually inspect for clogs, breaks, or tree root infiltration. These methods provide a clear picture of the problem and help determine the best course of action.

What are the repair options for a damaged main line?

Repair options for a damaged main line depend on the extent and type of damage. Minor blockages and clogs can often be resolved with snaking or hydro jetting. More significant damage, such as collapsed or severely corroded pipes, may require pipe relining or replacement. In some cases, trenchless repair methods can be used, which minimize the need for extensive digging and disruption to your property.

What our customers say

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!

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
