FAQs

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

Common signs of main line plumbing issues include multiple drains backing up simultaneously, gurgling sounds from drains and toilets, water pooling around basement drains or outside the home, and foul odors coming from drains and the sewer line.

What causes main line blockages?

Main line blockages can be caused by a variety of factors including tree root intrusion, buildup of grease and debris, foreign objects being flushed down toilets, and collapsed or damaged pipes due to age or ground movement.

How can I prevent main line issues?

Preventative measures include avoiding flushing non-degradable items (e.g., wet wipes, sanitary products), not pouring grease down sink drains, regular maintenance checks by a professional plumber, and ensuring that tree roots are not interfering with your main line.

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

If you suspect a main line blockage, it's important to stop using water fixtures to prevent further backup and flooding. Contact a professional plumber as soon as possible to inspect and address the problem. They can use cameras and other diagnostic tools to identify the issue and recommend the best course of action.

Can chemical drain cleaners fix a main line blockage?

Chemical drain cleaners are generally not effective for main line blockages and can even be harmful to your plumbing system. They may offer a temporary fix, but for a thorough and permanent solution, it's best to consult a professional plumber who can properly clean and repair your main line.

How much does it cost to repair a main line issue?

The cost to repair a main line issue varies based on the specific problem, the extent of the damage, and the method of repair required. Basic clogs might cost a few hundred dollars, while more complex issues like pipe replacement or major repairs can run into the thousands. Always get a detailed estimate from a reputable plumber.

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.

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.

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.

I had a blockage in the drain line leading from my house to my septic tank. I called HEP & a technician (Chase Rost) was at my home within a couple of hours. Chase was very knowledgeable & had the blockage removed within a few minutes. I have had multiple problems with this line for years because it was initially installed incorrectly. I had had enough patchwork. I asked Chase to give me an estimate for HEP to replace the entire line. He gave me a reasonable price & explained how they would approach the job. HEP is now replacing the entire line. I would recommend HEP for timely service & working with Chase was a pleasure.

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.
