FAQs

What is a plumbing main line and why is it important?

The plumbing main line is the primary sewer line that connects your home’s plumbing system to the municipal sewage system or your on-site septic system. It is crucial because it handles all wastewater from your home including showers, sinks, and toilets. Any issues in the main line can cause backups, unpleasant odors, or even severe structural damage.

What signs indicate a possible main line blockage or issue in Jamestown?

Typical signs of a main line blockage may include slow draining sinks and toilets, multiple drains backing up simultaneously, gurgling sounds in your pipes, and unpleasant odors inside or outside your home. An increase in water backup during heavy rains can also be an indicator of tree root intrusion or clogging in the main line.

What are common causes of main line problems?

Several factors can lead to main line issues. Tree roots invading the pipes, buildup of grease and debris, and shifts in the soil due to weather changes are common problems. Additionally, old or corroded pipes in older homes may develop cracks or collapses over time, leading to blockages or leaks.

How can homeowners prevent main line issues?

Regular maintenance is key to preventing main line issues. Homeowners should schedule routine inspections and cleanings, avoid flushing non-degradable items down drains, and monitor the pipes for any signs of trouble. Landscaping decisions, such as careful tree placement, and professional drain cleaning can also help in preventing root intrusion and buildup.

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

If you suspect a main line blockage, it is important to act quickly. Avoid using drains to prevent exacerbating the blockage. Contact a professional plumbing service immediately for a thorough inspection using camera technology to pinpoint the issue. Prompt attention can mitigate damage and avoid costly repairs.

Why should I choose a local Jamestown plumbing company for main line issues?

Choosing a local Jamestown plumbing service offers several advantages. Local companies are familiar with the common plumbing challenges in the area, including issues related to weather and soil conditions. They provide prompt service and personalized support, often with a reputation for quality and reliability, ensuring faster response times and effective resolutions.

What our customers say

HEP did a water line replacement for me after my original galvanized line suddenly failed on a weekend. They were able to put in a temporary above-ground line quickly the following Monday, and had the actual line permitted, installed, and backfilled about two days afterwards. Customer service was great, and they were quick to resolve some water infiltration problems from their first attempt at bringing the new line into the basement. Cost was reasonable for the quality of service and the lifetime warranty.

We were having some serious issues with our plumbing. When i did the laundry and the washer went into the drain and spin cycle water and sewage would back up into our shower and bathtub. Our commodes wouldn't flush proper. We called Hep, Brady came out the same day. Diagnosed the problem. He was thorough and very helpful. He explained everything that needed to be done. He was very professional. We will be highly recommending him to others needing a plumber. Thankyou Brady.

Before I called HEP, another company came out associated with my home warranty and didn’t do anything to fix the issue. Thank goodness for HEP. Todd Farner was my service tech and he was amazing! Professional, knowledgeable, helpful, and very thorough. I had a main drain line blockage in my new home. Todd made sure my plumbing was in order. Todd went above and beyond my expectations. I would highly recommend calling him if you have a plumbing issue!

Todd Farner came by to help us with a sewage problem that started a couple days ago. It was kind of an emergency. Todd identified the problem and walked us through the available options. He was knowledgeable and quick, and we set up an appointment to repair the issue later this week. I appreciated HEP’s response time and interest in our dilemma. I plan on using them again.

Highly recommend this company. Septic backed up after 9pm on a Friday night, gave Hep a call and got a response almost immediately! Matt was here and working his heart out by 7 the next morning in the rain and cold. I really can't say enough nice things about him! Fixed our problem and pumped the tank, that to be honest, hadn't been pumped in years. Will use them for any future plumbing or septic issues! Price was more than fair for the amount of work. I couldn't have asked for better service!

Brady did a good job. He presented our options and made a recommendation. We have a complicated plumbing issue and he explained everything clearly and actually saved us money by not doing uneeded repairs. He gave a quote for what was needed to fix it and scheduled a different crew to do the work since it wasn't his specialty. They will fix it tomorrow.
