FAQs

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

Common signs of a main line plumbing issue include slow drains, multiple clogs in various fixtures, foul odors coming from your drains, gurgling noises from toilets and drains, and sewage backups in your home or yard. These issues often indicate a blockage or break in the main sewer line.

How quickly should I address a main line plumbing problem?

You should address a main line plumbing problem as soon as possible. Delaying repairs can lead to more serious damage, higher repair costs, and potential health risks due to sewage backups. It's important to contact a professional plumber immediately if you suspect a main line issue.

What causes main line plumbing problems in Gatlinburg?

Main line plumbing problems can be caused by several factors, including tree root infiltration, aging or deteriorating pipes, heavy rain and flooding, foreign objects flushed down the toilets, and ground shifting. Regular maintenance and inspections can help identify potential issues before they worsen.

How are main line plumbing issues diagnosed and repaired?

Plumbers typically use advanced techniques such as video camera inspections to diagnose main line plumbing issues. This allows them to visually inspect the interior of the pipes for blockages, cracks, or breaks. Depending on the problem, repairs may involve hydro-jetting to clear blockages, pipe relining, or even trenchless methods to replace damaged sections without extensive digging.

Will homeowners insurance cover main line plumbing repairs in Gatlinburg?

Coverage for main line plumbing repairs varies by insurance policy. Many standard homeowners insurance policies do not cover damages caused by normal wear and tear or aging pipes but may cover sudden and accidental damage, such as pipe bursts. It's important to review your policy and speak with your insurance provider to understand your specific coverage.

How can I prevent main line plumbing issues?

Preventing main line plumbing issues involves regular maintenance and mindful usage. Avoid flushing non-biodegradable items, such as wipes and feminine hygiene products, down the toilet. Regularly inspect and clean your drains, and consider scheduling annual professional inspections. Additionally, be cautious of planting trees with aggressive root systems near your plumbing lines.

Justin Trost came out to the house and helped us with our septic system. He helped us develop a plan that would be the most cost effective. He performed a visual inspection of the piping using a borescope and determined our septic system needed to be pumped. Because we used HEP to perform the service on the septic system, the $275 was waived. Tomorrow HEP will return and perform the following: - Remove the top soil of our septic tank, - Pump the septic tank, - Perform an inspection (hope we don't need any additional work, - Add a port so we are able to pump the system without removing the top soil and this will save us money in the future, We did have to pay for the entire project up-front but we are using a company with a good reputation. I will update this post once the job is completed for a final review.
