FAQs

What are the common signs of main line issues?

Common signs of main line problems include slow drains, multiple clogged fixtures, gurgling sounds coming from pipes, and backups in your plumbing system. Additionally, foul odors may indicate a break or blockage in your main sewer line. Early detection is crucial to prevent extensive damage and ensure that your plumbing system continues to operate effectively.

How can I prevent main line clogs and blockages?

Prevention is key when it comes to maintaining your main sewer line. Regularly clean drain traps and avoid disposing of grease, hair, or non-degradable items in sinks and toilets. Schedule periodic inspections and maintenance with a professional plumber who can check for signs of tree root intrusion, buildup, or damage, which are common causes of clogs in your main line.

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

If you suspect a blockage in your main line, it's important to act promptly. First, avoid using large quantities of water to prevent further backups. Contact a licensed plumber to inspect the situation using diagnostic tools like a sewer camera. Early intervention can minimize property damage and prevent costly repairs in the long run.

Should I attempt any DIY fixes for main line issues?

It is not recommended to perform DIY fixes on main line issues. Main sewer lines require specialized equipment and expertise to diagnose and repair. Attempting a DIY solution might worsen the problem or mask the underlying issues, resulting in more extensive damage. Trusting a professional ensures that the repair is done safely and correctly.

How often should I have my main line inspected?

It is advised to have your main line inspected at least once every one to two years, especially if your property is older or prone to issues like tree root intrusion. However, if you notice any warning signs such as slow drains or sewage odors, it's best to have a professional plumbing service perform an immediate inspection to catch potential problems early.

What repair options are available if my main line is damaged?

Repair options for a damaged main line vary depending on the extent of the damage. Traditional methods involve excavation and replacement of the affected pipe section, which is effective but invasive. Alternatives like trenchless pipe repair (cured-in-place pipe or pipe lining) are available for less severe damage. These methods minimize disruption to landscaping and infrastructure while effectively restoring your plumbing system.

What our customers say

Todd came out and helped us find the solution to our recurring plumbing issue at a fair price. Professional and courteous . Would recommend to others .

Traci P.

Arrived fast for an emergency water leak. Fair price. Work done well and on time. Very happy customer, will use HEP again.

Rick S.

Brady did a good job. He presented our options and made a recommendation. We have a complicated plumbing issue and he explained everything clearly and actually saved us money by not doing uneeded repairs. He gave a quote for what was needed to fix it and scheduled a different crew to do the work since it wasn't his specialty. They will fix it tomorrow.

Meredith B.

HEP did a water line replacement for me after my original galvanized line suddenly failed on a weekend. They were able to put in a temporary above-ground line quickly the following Monday, and had the actual line permitted, installed, and backfilled about two days afterwards. Customer service was great, and they were quick to resolve some water infiltration problems from their first attempt at bringing the new line into the basement. Cost was reasonable for the quality of service and the lifetime warranty.

Jeb O.

We were having some serious issues with our plumbing. When i did the laundry and the washer went into the drain and spin cycle water and sewage would back up into our shower and bathtub. Our commodes wouldn't flush proper. We called Hep, Brady came out the same day. Diagnosed the problem. He was thorough and very helpful. He explained everything that needed to be done. He was very professional. We will be highly recommending him to others needing a plumber. Thankyou Brady.

Kaffey D.

Before I called HEP, another company came out associated with my home warranty and didn’t do anything to fix the issue. Thank goodness for HEP. Todd Farner was my service tech and he was amazing! Professional, knowledgeable, helpful, and very thorough. I had a main drain line blockage in my new home. Todd made sure my plumbing was in order. Todd went above and beyond my expectations. I would highly recommend calling him if you have a plumbing issue!

Jessica S.

Kyler saved the day on a tricky broken water pipe. I’m grateful for his excellent job.

Todd Farner came out to our house and checked for a water leak, he was thorough and very efficient in his work. Would definitely call for him again.

Chelle L.

Todd Farner came by to help us with a sewage problem that started a couple days ago. It was kind of an emergency. Todd identified the problem and walked us through the available options. He was knowledgeable and quick, and we set up an appointment to repair the issue later this week. I appreciated HEP’s response time and interest in our dilemma. I plan on using them again.
