"Billy did a great job on assessing our plumbing issue. Come to find out, we did NOT have problems, but it was good to get a professional to look at the pipes with the really cool camera they have. Billy was professional, easy-going, and competent at his job. He had all the equipment/supplies he needed to complete the job on hand. He took the time to discuss with me many aspects of the plumbing in our household to help me understand better. I feel a peace of mind that we were able to know that our plumbing is just fine!

"Like everyone else, I’m a scaredy cat when it comes to calling a plumber. Visions of torn-up floors and pipes and an empty bank account kept me crazy. Nothing like that happened when I called HEP to diagnose and fix whatever was causing my eleventy billion dollar water bill. Robbie is the technician who came to the rescue. He was prompt, polite, helpful, and very knowledgeable. He showed my daughter and me how to check some things and reassured us our problem was not earth shattering and could be fixed. Ta da! I have lost my fear of approaching any faucet in my home! I highly recommend HEP and most especially Robbie if you need plumbing repair."

Rapid Emergency Plumbing Service in Knoxville

When a pipe bursts at midnight or a sewer line overflows without warning, every minute counts. Water damage spreads quickly, mold can form within hours, and your daily routine comes to a halt. HEP’s emergency plumbing service in Knoxville is structured to restore safety, sanitation, and peace of mind—no matter the time or complexity of the issue.

The Critical Nature of Plumbing Emergencies

  • Uncontrolled leaks can saturate drywall, flooring, and structural supports.
  • Gray or black water exposure poses serious health hazards.
  • Delayed repairs often multiply costs by damaging adjacent systems such as electrical and HVAC.

  2. Immediate containment: water shut-off, drain clearing, or temporary pipe patching
  3. Comprehensive repair or replacement using code-compliant materials
  4. Final pressure test and system calibration to verify integrity
  5. Detailed service report outlining findings, parts installed, and maintenance advice

Technology That Speeds Up Recovery

HEP equips technicians with:

  • High-resolution sewer cameras for pinpoint diagnostics
  • Electric and propane thawing machines for frozen lines
  • Commercial dehumidifiers to limit secondary water damage
  • Trenchless pipe repair systems that preserve landscaping and driveways

Proactive Tips From HEP Plumbers

To reduce the likelihood of an emergency—or lessen its impact—consider these best practices:

  • Insulate exposed water lines before Knoxville’s winter lows arrive.
  • Know the location of your main shut-off valve and ensure it operates smoothly.
  • Schedule annual water heater flushing to prevent sediment buildup.
  • Install backflow prevention devices in flood-prone basements.
  • Replace aging supply hoses on washing machines and dishwashers every five years.
