FAQs

What are the common signs of main line issues in my home?

Common signs include slow draining faucets and toilets, frequent clogs, gurgling sounds in your pipes, and foul odors emanating from your drains. In some cases, you may also notice water backing up in unexpected areas of your home. Recognizing these early indicators can help prevent more severe damage to your plumbing system.

How do plumbing professionals diagnose main line problems?

Plumbing professionals typically start with a visual inspection and perform a series of tests. One common method is using a sewer camera to inspect the interior of your main line. This high-resolution video inspection helps identify blockages, cracks, tree root intrusions, or other damage. Additionally, they may conduct pressure tests and use specialized equipment to understand the extent of the issue.

What methods are used to clean or unclog a main line?

Depending on the severity of the blockage or damage, plumbers may use several methods. For blockages, techniques such as snaking or hydro-jetting (using high-pressure water) are common and effective ways to clear debris and buildup. If the blockage is severe or caused by tree roots, more invasive procedures like pipe repair or replacement may be recommended to ensure long-term functionality.

When should I call a professional for main line repairs?

You should call a professional as soon as you notice persistent problems such as frequent clogs, unusual noises, or slow drainage throughout your home. Early intervention can prevent extensive damage and reduce repair costs. If you suspect a blockage deep within your main line or experience multiple plumbing issues simultaneously, it's best to contact a plumber immediately for a thorough inspection.

How much does it typically cost to repair main line issues in New Tazewell?

The cost to repair main line issues can vary widely based on factors such as the severity of the damage, the length of the affected pipe, and the specific repair or replacement method needed. Minor blockages or localized repairs might be less expensive, while extensive damage or pipe replacements can cost considerably more. It is recommended to obtain multiple estimates from qualified plumbing professionals in New Tazewell to ensure you are getting a fair price tailored to your specific situation.

What steps can I take to prevent future main line issues?

Preventive maintenance is key to avoiding major plumbing issues. Regular inspections by a professional can help identify potential problems early. Avoid disposing of grease, hair, or large debris down your drains, as these substances can lead to buildup and blockages. Additionally, schedule periodic cleaning, such as a hydro-jetting service, to clear away potential obstructions. Being mindful of tree root growth near underground lines can also help, so consider routine checks if you have large trees near your home.

What our customers say

Connor Haydon, with HEP Plumbing, was fantastic! Very friendly and extremely professional. Arrived on time and used his time wisely. We had multiple issues with our plumbing and he was able to give us several options for addressing the situation. He, unfortunately, ran into a couple of venomous snakes under the house and yet still continued with his work! Definitely would hire again for any future needs. Thanks so much!

Deborah P.

Had to call HEP for an emergency service for a backed up sewage line. Isaac came out ASAP, walked me through possible scenarios so I knew what he was about to do. He was friendly, courteous, and efficient. It's nice to see HEP has some solid people working for them! Follow-up: Austin and Kane came out to remove the tree roots stuck in our pipeline, and replaced the existing parts. The works looks great, and everything is running like it's supposed to. Again, I'm impressed with the work the HEP team performs.

Anthony K.

We had a sudden and significant underground leak and needed a ditch dug and new water line installed from the meter to the house. Colin came out promptly to diagnose the problem. Austin and Zack came out the next day to do the trench and hookup. The evening hookup was complicated by a new leak. This was caused by an old and inappropriate mixture of valve and pipes in the wall, which was not apparent until it was exposed and disturbed. Colin came out the next day to rebuild that section. In summary, I was impressed by the HEP crew I met, as well as their scheduler. All were very capable and friendly. And HEP was able to act very promptly to remedy a serious situation successfully. Particular thanks go to Colin, Austin and Zack.

Bradley M.

They have such a helpful team and were very eager to find out what my issue was with my plumbing needs. Considering my situation, the response time was excellent. From the excavator team to the site manager, they were all very helpful. Fernando above all was very informative and walked me through every possible cause and solution to my issue. Thank you HEP for having such an amazing crew!

AUTUMN C.

These people are amazing, they came here thinking in would be replacement of the water line from the meter to the house. Well...it was 10xs more complicated with huge rock and tree's in the way, it became a snake maneuver to get from a to z. Let me tell you that when we bought the property the placed the home and used the old line to tie into. They didn't complain about anything, the manager, a new guy and another guy came out to make sure everything was excellent. And let me testify....it was EXCELLENT. Thank you HEP of knoxville we'll be seeing you soon for any further needs

Brian W.

A big thank you to Josh Herndon for being persistent and thorough in diagnosing my plumbing issue. He was the hero of the day! Then John and Damien showed up with the heavy equipment and did an amazing job, digging up and replacing a cracked pipe. Josh, John, and Damien resolved my issue and my family is very grateful. Professional, friendly, and they provided amazing service.

Shelly C.

The works not been completed as of this post, however, my family and I recently acquired our “forever home”. We found that it needed some work (as to be expected for a 22 year old house). We were having plumbing issues specifically with the basement bathroom. Vladimir Vysotsky not only came out late, but stayed until 2230 hours until he felt he had fully diagnosed our situation with a crushed line likely from tree roots. He seemed very confident, knowledgable, and genuine. Thankful for people like Vladimir who are willing to come out late and do a dirty job to try to keep our lives on track. Great guy.
