Drainage and Wastewater Management

From floor drains beneath machinery to roof drains preventing structural damage, HEP designs slopes, pipe diameters, and venting arrangements that prevent backups and foul odors—critical for Pikeville’s humid climate.

Commercial Water Heaters and Boilers

Whether a facility relies on massive storage tanks or on-demand water heaters, HEP matches capacity to usage patterns. Technicians are versed in flue sizing, recirculation loops, and control systems that stabilize temperature even during peak demand.

Gas Piping and Appliance Hookups

HEP technicians install CSST, black iron, or stainless gas lines with proper regulators and seismic supports. Thorough leak testing ensures safety before the first burner ignites.

Backflow Prevention and Cross-Connection Control

Local Pikeville regulations require backflow devices on irrigation systems, fire sprinklers, and soda fountains. HEP provides installation, annual testing, and certification paperwork, protecting both businesses and municipal water supplies.

HEP believes that proactive care is cheaper than emergency shutdowns. Maintenance agreements are customizable by industry, traffic volume, and compliance obligations.

Scheduled Inspections and Testing

  • Visual pipe inspections for corrosion or leaks
  • Water pressure and temperature checks
  • Backflow device certification
  • Plumbing code updates applied to existing systems

Proactive Component Replacements

Rather than waiting for a valve or pump to fail at an inconvenient hour, HEP tracks equipment life cycles and swaps critical parts on a timetable aligned with manufacturer recommendations.

Detailed Reporting for Facility Managers

After each maintenance visit, HEP provides a comprehensive digital report outlining findings, performed tasks, and upcoming recommendations. Facility managers can easily integrate this data into their capital planning schedules.

Code Compliance and Safety

Pikeville adheres to state plumbing codes and often implements local amendments related to seismic bracing, grease management, and environmental discharge. HEP stays current on every ordinance to protect clients from violations.

Working with Local Pikeville Regulations

  • Filing permit applications and inspection requests
  • Coordinating with city building officials for phased approvals

Rapid Response Strategies

  • Pre-mapped shut-off valve locations for quick isolation
  • Stocked replacement parts for critical fixtures
  • Technicians cross-trained in electrical lock-out to secure pump rooms

Minimizing Downtime for Businesses

HEP’s commercial crews stage repairs during low-traffic hours whenever possible. Temporary bypass systems maintain basic water and drainage function while permanent repairs are executed.

Benefits of Choosing HEP for Pikeville Commercial Plumbing

Local Expertise and Community Focus

Because HEP’s headquarters and technicians call the Pikeville region home, they understand soil conditions, seasonal climate swings, and municipal permitting channels better than outside firms.
