Plumbers in Reidsville NC: Stopping Sewage Backups & Rusted Pipes
Is your bathtub draining slowly or backing up with sewage? In Reidsville, the massive oak trees in neighborhoods like Pennrose Park frequently crush vintage clay sewer pipes, causing nasty blockages that plungers can’t fix. HEC Plumbing clears these root intrusions and replaces rusted galvanized water lines. We stop the mess and restore safe, clean water to your home today.
Tackling the "Root vs. Pipe" Battle in Reidsville
One of the biggest issues we face in Reidsville is root intrusion. The mature oak and maple trees that make streets like Richardson Drive beautiful are aggressive toward vintage clay and cast iron sewer pipes. Once roots get in, they catch grease and paper, causing repeated backups that standard drain cleaners can’t fix.
We don’t just snake the drain and leave. We use hydro-jetting technology to cut through thick roots and scour the pipe walls clean. If the damage is severe, we offer trenchless pipe lining to seal the cracks from the inside, saving your lawn from being dug up.

Frequently Asked Questions
My drains are slow even after plunging. Why? This usually indicates a blockage further down the main line, often caused by tree roots or a crushed pipe. We can perform a camera inspection to show you exactly what is stopping the flow.
Do you install tankless water heaters in older homes? Yes, but older homes often need a gas line upgrade to handle the higher demand of a tankless unit. We assess your gas capacity and handle the upgrade as part of the install.
Why is my water pressure so low? If your neighbors have good pressure but you don’t, the issue is likely inside your house—often a failing pressure regulator or clogged galvanized pipes. We can diagnose and fix it.
Can you fix a gas leak? Yes. If you smell gas, leave the house and call the utility company first. Once they shut it off, call us to locate and repair the leak so service can be restored.
