FAQs

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

Common signs of a main line issue include frequent clogs, slow drainage in multiple fixtures, gurgling sounds coming from the pipes, and backups in your sinks or toilets. In addition, if you notice foul odors coming from your drains or water pooling around your foundation, these may also be indicators of a serious main line problem.

How can tree roots affect my main sewer line?

Tree roots are attracted to moisture and can grow into your main sewer line through small cracks or joints. As roots expand, they can block the flow of waste and water, causing serious backups or even damage to your pipe. Regular inspection and preventative maintenance can help mitigate this issue before it leads to a major clog or break in the system.

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

If you suspect a blockage in your main sewer line, it’s important to address the issue as soon as possible to avoid further damage or health hazards. First, avoid using water in your home to prevent further buildup. Contact a professional plumber who can perform a thorough inspection, often using camera technology, to diagnose the issue and suggest the appropriate repair method.

Can regular drain cleaning prevent main line issues?

While regular drain cleaning is important for maintaining clear pipes and preventing minor clogs in individual drains, it does not always prevent main line issues. The main line can be affected by factors like tree roots, aging pipes, or structural obstructions that require specialized inspection and repair techniques beyond routine drain cleaning.

How is a main line repair or replacement performed?

The approach to repairing a main line depends on the severity and cause of the issue. For blockages, professional plumbers often use methods like high-pressure water jetting or mechanical augering to clear the line. In cases where the pipe is damaged or corroded, trenchless repair methods such as pipe lining may be used, or traditional excavation may be required to replace the old pipe with a new one. A thorough inspection will help determine the best course of action.

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

To help prevent future main line issues, consider scheduling regular inspections with a trusted plumbing professional. Avoid flushing non-biodegradable items down the toilet and be mindful of what goes down your drains. Additionally, if you have trees close to your home, have them inspected periodically for root intrusion. Taking these preventative steps can help prolong the life of your main sewer line and reduce the risk of emergency repairs.

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.

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.

Had to call for help with a broken water line in my laundry room...water everywhere! Thought I was gonna be without water for a couple of days as plumbers are always so busy, but HEP were fast to dispatch a an expert plumber to my house in under 24 hours. Nicholas quickly assessed the problem and created a plan that would correct not just the broken pipe, but would upgrade my system, preventing future problems from worn out parts. Thanks HEP, and thanks so much for everything Nicholas, you're the best!

Lysabella B.

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.
