Barbara S.

"Amanda, Braden and Jordan were fantastic!!!! Amanda took pictures to let us see what was the problem, gave us a quote and called the next day to check up. Customer service was fast on getting it schedule for the next day. Braden &Jordan did a terrific job on repiping my drains and replacing my water main under the house, my drains are now flowing with no more backing up and water pressure is better now that i don't have a leaking water main. If you need plumbing work of any kind HEP is who you need to call. Thank you again!!!"

Steve

"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.

"Great service from Jason and Terry! They came out in the rain to repair a leak in the waterline in the yard. Super fast work and a pleasure to interact with. Highly recommend!"

Kevin D.

"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.

"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.

"Had Jimmy and Tyrone out to fix my water. They found the leak within minutes. After days without water, they had it back on and fixed my lawn like it was never touched. Would give more stars if I could, these guys are awesome"

Jay B.

"Josh Sims was fantastic. He was super punctual, professional and took care of our broken water line for fridge right away. Highly recommend!"

Ivy “.

"Conner came out today and gave us an estimate to fix a leak. He was a pleasure to work with and we'd be happy to work with him again!"

Jessica P.

"Connor was very friendly and quickly fixed our leak."

Expert Solutions for Plumbing Main Line Issues in Chattanooga

Plumbing main line problems can bring normal life to a standstill. Back-ups, foul odors, and slow drains signal that the heart of the home’s plumbing—the main sewer or water line—needs immediate attention. HEP specializes in diagnosing and repairing main line issues throughout Chattanooga, restoring free-flowing pipes quickly and safely.

Why Main Line Problems Demand Immediate Attention

Main lines carry wastewater away from every fixture in the house. When they fail, the entire plumbing system is compromised, leading to:

Raw sewage backup into tubs, sinks, or floor drains
Flooding that damages flooring, walls, and belongings
Health hazards from bacteria and mold growth
Higher water bills caused by hidden leaks

Common Causes of Main Line Failures

Natural Factors

Tree root intrusion seeking moisture in joints
Soil shifting from freeze-thaw cycles or heavy rain
Pipe corrosion accelerated by mineral-rich groundwater

Structural or Usage-Based Factors

Grease, wipes, and other non-flushables forming stubborn clogs
Sagging (bellying) pipes that collect debris
Deteriorated joints in older cast-iron or clay lines

HEP’s Main Line Inspection & Repair Process

1. Precision Video Camera Inspection

HEP plumbers feed a high-resolution camera through an accessible clean-out to pinpoint the exact location and nature of the blockage or break. This non-invasive step eliminates guesswork and minimizes yard disruption.

2. Clear, Detailed Findings

Clients receive a comprehensive report describing:

Pipe material and diameter
Length to obstruction or break
Root intrusion severity
Structural integrity of joints and walls

3. Tailored Repair or Replacement Options

Depending on inspection results, HEP may recommend:

Hydro-jetting to scour away grease, sludge, and roots
Mechanical augering for compacted debris
Spot repairs using trenchless pipe lining
Full main line replacement with durable PVC or HDPE

All methods comply with Chattanooga building codes and are designed for long-term reliability.

Best Practices for Homeowners

Trim large trees planted near sewer laterals
