FAQs

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

Common signs of a main line plumbing issue include multiple drains backing up simultaneously, gurgling noises coming from the drains or toilets, water pooling around the foundation or in the yard, slow drainage throughout the house, and an unpleasant sewage smell. If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s crucial to address the issue promptly to prevent more extensive damage.

What causes main line plumbing issues?

Main line plumbing issues can be caused by various factors including tree root intrusions, pipe corrosion or deterioration, accumulation of debris and waste, significant shifts in the soil around the pipes, and severe clogs. Regular maintenance and inspections can help identify and mitigate these issues before they become severe.

How can I prevent main line plumbing problems?

To prevent main line plumbing problems, avoid flushing non-degradable items down the toilet, such as wipes, feminine products, and large quantities of paper. Regularly cleaning your drains and using enzyme-based treatments can keep pipes clear. Additionally, scheduling routine professional inspections can help identify potential issues early on. If you have large trees near your plumbing system, consider a root barrier to prevent root intrusion.

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

If you suspect a main line blockage, avoid using water fixtures to prevent worsening the problem. It's recommended to contact a professional plumber to perform a thorough inspection and necessary repairs. Attempting to fix the issue without the proper knowledge and tools could lead to further damage.

How is a main line plumbing issue diagnosed and repaired?

A professional plumber can diagnose a main line plumbing issue using video camera inspections to identify the exact location and cause of the problem. Once identified, repair methods may include hydro jetting to clear blockages, trenchless pipe repair like pipe relining, or excavation to replace damaged sections. The chosen method depends on the severity and nature of the issue.

Are main line plumbing repairs covered by homeowner’s insurance?

Coverage for main line plumbing repairs depends on your homeowner’s insurance policy. Typically, standard policies cover damage resulting from sudden and accidental incidents but might not cover issues caused by gradual wear and tear or neglect. It's important to review your specific policy details and, if necessary, consider adding additional coverage for plumbing issues.

Tommy and Cameron were helpful and very quick with their repairs! Luke gave me an estimate to fix my lateral connection at the house. He was very thorough and honest! He helped me get the best solution for my issue and at the best price!

Jose and Jorge saved my home. We couldn't use the bathroom and it was overflowing with dirty water. Thank you so much. I guess the turkey wasn't the only one that got stuffed this Thanksgiving...

Beyond satisfied with this company. I recently had a water main break to my house. They were out within a couple of hours and laid a temp line to get the water back on. Within two days the line was buried underground. Very happy with the professionalism of the bury crew.

Scott D.

Aaron Tatum (way better looking than Channing Tatum) came out and took a look at a water pipe I damaged in the yard. He was thorough and professional and got here quickly after I called. He explained all of my options to me and was upfront and honest. Very personable. I highly recommend HEP and love dealing with their people.

George and Joseph had my main line fixed in no time, showed up same day even though it was late

Michael M.

We had a major flooding from a clogged septic line…Joshua was great, professional and courteous and frankly, a calming presence since I was wigging out since sewage water everywhere. He got it stopped and now, we wait for new floor but damage far less thanks to Joshua. Told him I was going to retire as NP and become a plumber, ha ha. Was somewhat expensive but a good bang for the buck. Thanks Joshua Simms.

Sally H.

Albert Phillips responded to my plumbing issues promptly, and performed all contractual service in a professional, cordial manner. His expertise fixed all three main plumbing issues I had, and cleaned up and left premises in a couteous professional way. He'll be the "copper sweat" plumber I'll ask for in the future. Real nice, Christian guy.

Jeff H.

I had a main line backed up and Ed came out on the weekend to get it fixed for me. The service was fast and the work was amazing. You will pay for the quality though. Definitely not the cheapest, but neither was the quality of work. You Definitely get what you pay for here. Will use again for sure. Thank you Ed for the outstanding work.

Joshua B.

Jason was very professional. Came after hours & fixed our water issue quickly & effectively. Oh

Katie W.

Technicians came relatively quickly. Seemed knowledgeable and assessed the plumbing problem. Corbin and Preston explained the situation and took the time to make sure I understood everything. I want to stress that their professional manner was good and I must add that they are easy to talk to. These technicians (Corbin and Preston) are good representative of your company.
