FAQs

What are main line issues in plumbing?

Main line issues refer to problems in the primary drainage or sewer line that transports wastewater from your home to the municipal sewer or septic system. These problems can include blockages, cracks, tree root intrusion, or pipe deterioration. Recognizing these issues early helps prevent costly repairs and extensive property damage.

What are common causes of main line blockages in Harrison?

Common causes of main line blockages include the accumulation of grease, soap scum, and debris over time. Other factors can include tree roots infiltrating the pipes, shifting soil that causes fractures, and objects accidentally flushed down the drain. Regular maintenance and prompt attention to minor issues can help prevent severe blockages.

How can I tell if I have a main line problem?

Signs of a main line problem include slow or complete drain backups, frequent clogs in multiple fixtures, unpleasant odors coming from drains, and gurgling sounds from pipes. If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s advisable to contact a professional plumber immediately to diagnose and fix the issue before it escalates.

Can I attempt to fix a main line issue on my own?

While some minor drain blockages can be addressed with basic tools or chemical cleaners, main line issues typically require professional intervention. DIY repairs on the main line can lead to further damage or even hazardous conditions. It's best to consult an experienced plumber who can perform a thorough inspection and proper repairs.

What methods do professionals use to repair main line issues?

Plumbers use specialized tools like sewer cameras to inspect the condition of your mains. Depending on the problem, they may use high-pressure water jetting to clear blockages, trenchless pipe repair methods to fix cracks without extensive digging, or conventional excavation if necessary. The chosen method depends on the type and severity of the damage.

How can I prevent main line issues in my home?

Preventative maintenance is key to avoiding main line issues. Avoid flushing inappropriate items like wipes, paper towels, or grease, which can cause blockages. Schedule annual inspections with a professional plumber who can use camera diagnostics to assess your pipe's health. Additionally, regular cleaning and maintenance of your drainage system can keep your main line functioning properly.

Bradley A.

Robbie and Colin did an amazing job explaining why the pipes in my mother's condo were clogging. They let me see the camera as it travelled through the pipe and showed me how it was lying more or less flat, causing it to retain water. They were nice, informative and efficient. I highly recommend using HEP -ask for Robbie/Colin!!
