FAQs

What is considered a main line issue?

A main line issue refers to any problem affecting the primary sewer or water line that connects your property to the municipal system or septic system. This could include blockages, cracks, tree root intrusion, or corrosion. Identifying issues early is crucial as they can lead to back-ups, sewage spills, and other major plumbing hazards.

What are some common signs of a main line problem in Graysville?

Common signs include slow drains, persistent clogs, unusual gurgling sounds coming from the drains, foul odors, and even sewage backups in your home. In Graysville, where older or tree-lined neighborhoods are common, tree root intrusion can also be a frequent culprit causing main line blockages.

How can I protect my main line from blockages and damage?

Regular maintenance is key. Avoid flushing non-degradable items down your toilet or drains, and consider routine professional inspections to catch any signs of building problems early. In areas like Graysville, it's also wise to monitor tree growth near sewer lines and consult with professionals about preventive measures such as root barriers.

What is the general procedure for a main line inspection?

During a main line inspection, a plumber usually employs a high-resolution camera to run through the sewer line, identifying blockages, cracks, or intrusion by tree roots. Following the inspection, the plumber will provide a detailed report and recommend necessary repairs or cleaning services to restore optimal functionality to your plumbing system.

How frequently should I have my main line inspected and cleaned in Graysville?

It is recommended to have your main line inspected at least once every 1-2 years, depending on the age of your property and other local factors. If your home is in a tree-heavy environment or if you've experienced previous issues, more frequent inspections might be wise. Regular cleaning helps prevent buildup and major blockages, saving both time and money in the long run.

How do local conditions in Graysville affect my main line?

Graysville's climate and landscape can influence the condition of your plumbing. Heavy rains and seasonal flooding can lead to water infiltration and sewer line damage, while mature trees may contribute to root intrusion. Local soils and older infrastructure can also contribute to pipe wear. Being proactive and scheduling regular maintenance can help mitigate these risks.

What our customers say

Brad was awesome. We were dealing with a stressful water leak that couldn’t be found outside of the house. He helped us find the best solution quickly and had a great attitude.

Kevin K.

Amazing company in every aspect! I needed a full line replacement of 90ft from my water meter to my house. Never had any experience in dealing with this. Contacted HEP, and they walked me through every step along the way. The technician who came to evaluate the problem was pleasant and knew his stuff. (Corbin) HEP was in constant contact with me about everything, and contacted me afterwards to make sure things were done up to par. (Raeshel) They arrived on time, went above and beyond my expectations, and preserved my property. (Billy and Stephen) Will be recommending this company to all my friends!

Alex B.

Zach and Malik came out to complete our water main replacement. It was a tricky project that had a total of 6 people out here on 3 separate days. All of them were courteous and personable, conscientious in doing their work well and making things look as good as possible after a yard is dug up. Much appreciated.

J H.

Preston is the man! Very professional an knowledgeable. Helped us with our septic quick an easy

Connor S.

We used HEP is on the way to take care of a septic tank issue that flooded our downstairs. They sent out Chase Rost to help us with the issue and discovered we had a large rat lodged in one of our pipes. Chase was an awesome guy, super personable and knowledgeable. Would prefer to have Chase help us out in the future if anything else were to happen based on this experience. Thanks Chase!

Joseph B.

The guys at HEP were great, especially Zach. We had a sewer line backed up and they came out and fixed it. Then it rained a few days before the job was done, so they had to come back and do some repair work. Everyone was very professional and courteous.

Mike B.

Ed did a very good job, inspected my plumbing and give a fair estimate to replace my main line water pipe

Ben B.

Zach Hancock and the entire crew were amazing. Very quick response to a water main leak at one of the apartment buildings that I manage. Zach stayed after the repair was completed just to make sure all 13 of our apartment buildings had running water. He really went the extra mile for us and our residents. I highly recommend this company!

Ashley G.

David was right on time and helped explain the issues with a leak we were having. Very professional and friendly. Will definitely keep them in mind for future home repair needs.

April S.

We had a water main break that required urgent repair. The technician who did the estimate (Luke) discovered corroded, leaking copper pipes under our house. So we had our water main and plumbing for the entire house replaced. We appreciate Luke, Jesse, Zach, Bryan, Tyler, Mike, Charles and Malorie. Each of these people did a fantastic job. I believe Tyler and Mike plumbed the house. They put in a very long day to get the job done. We are very impressed with the quality of work on this urgent job. We highly recommend HEP Is On The Way.
