FAQs

What are the common signs of a main line blockage in Monterey plumbing systems?

Common signs include slow drains in multiple fixtures, gurgling sounds from plumbing pipes, unexpected sewer odors, and occasional sewage backups. If you notice these symptoms, it might indicate a blockage in your main line that requires immediate attention to prevent further damage.

What typically causes main line issues in Monterey homes?

Main line problems can be caused by a variety of factors such as the accumulation of grease, hair, food particles, and other debris. Additionally, tree roots infiltrating the pipes, shifting soil, aging pipes, and even ground movement during seasonal changes can contribute to blockages and pipe damage.

How is a main line clog diagnosed and repaired?

Our technicians use advanced tools like CCTV cameras to inspect your main line and accurately diagnose the issue. Once the blockage is identified, we typically use methods such as drain snaking, hydro jetting, or, in some cases, excavation and pipe repair to clear the clog and restore proper flow.

What factors influence the cost of main line repair in Monterey?

The cost of main line repair can vary based on the extent and cause of the blockage, the method used for repair, and the condition of your existing pipes. Services like video inspection, hydro jetting, or complete pipe replacement will differ in price. We always provide a clear estimate after evaluating your specific situation.

How can I prevent future main line issues in my home?

Prevention is key. Avoid flushing non-degradable items, large amounts of grease, or food waste down your drains. Regular maintenance inspections can catch potential issues before they become major problems. Additionally, scheduling periodic professional cleaning of your main line can help maintain unobstructed drainage.

What should I do in an emergency situation involving my main line?

If you experience signs of a main line blockage or a sewage backup, it's important to act quickly. Turn off the water supply to prevent further damage and contact a professional plumbing service immediately. Our team in Monterey offers prompt emergency services, and we are equipped to handle severe blockages and mitigate potential risks efficiently.

What our customers say

Called Hep for sewer not draining. Robbie called to tell us he was on his way. Robbie was professional and explained the best repair. We are 100%satisfied with the work Robbie performed. Zack and Colin called to tell us they were on the way. Both guys were very professional and explained all work they were doing. When they were done we could barely tell they had a good sized hole in the yard. We 100% recommend them.

Had to have our main-line cleaned. Took around 30 minutes. Wonderful and fast service! Would highly recommend to anyone! Our technician Aaron Tatum, great guy! He gave us all the information that we would need for the future about our septic system and it's maintenance. You will not be over-loaded with unnecessary jobs or fees. I am more than pleased with my service today and will be using them again of any other issues arise.

Came out the day we called, brought a digger out that night, dug in the dark and some light rain. Got our septic dug and opened up, clog removed, and new bigger access pipe installed all in about 2 hours. Can't say anything bad about their service. Robbie, Dwayne, and Joe were great.

Thomas B.

It was Saturday evening and a fountain of raw sewage began coming out of our downstairs bathroom! It went everywhere! We turned off all the water and called HEP. Albert Phillips did not hesitate to say he would be here as soon as possible. He worked again Sunday and with his expert knowledge and understanding of plumbing, he addressed the problem. Albert Phillips was very professional, skilled, polite, and respectful. We highly recommend Mr. Phillips and HEP for plumbing!

Juston was the technician showed up at my home today to repair a sewer back up issue. Juston showed up in a timely manner and was very professional with what was done and how it was explained to me what he was going to do. After all said and done Juston spent about two hours taking care of a clog in the sewer line. He explained to me what he was doing with every step and showed me with a camera what exactly was happening. If I need any plumbing in the future I will definitely be calling HEP! Thanks Juston for a wonderful job!!

Tim, one of the HEP service attendants, came out to survey our corroded pipes and assess the cost to repair a leak in our laundry room ceiling and upstairs bathroom sink. He was fantastic and one of the best customer service reps that I have ever encountered. He was calm, friendly, patient, knowledgeable, and super professional when it came to explaining every detail of our issue. He made me feel comfortable and confident in his company. We just need to work out financing details, but I’m pretty sure that we’ll go with HEP because of Tim. He is a wonderful representative for the company and in my opinion, he deserves accolades and a raise! He’s really great at his job and deserves all the recognition that he can get. Tim is an AWESOME employee and person and an invaluable asset to HEP!

Our Technician Robbie was great! He was extremely professional and worked very quickly to repair our septic tank. He had runners picking up the pump while he worked on other parts so the job could be finished as quick as possible.
