Question 13

How much does water heater replacement cost?

It depends on the type of unit (tank or tankless), the fuel source (gas or electric), the capacity you need, and any code or venting updates your home requires. Rather than guess, we will look at your setup and give you a free, no-obligation quote with repair and replacement options side by side.

Question 14

The price depends on the location and severity of the clog and how accessible the line is. Simple clogs cost less than deep blockages that call for a camera inspection. Call us and we will give you an honest estimate before any work starts.

Accepted Answer

We specialize in water heater repair and replacement for all makes and models, including gas, electric, tank, and tankless units. We will give you straight answers on whether repair or replacement is the smarter option for your situation.

Question 22

What are the signs I need a water heater replacement?

Accepted Answer

Common signs include inconsistent water temperatures, reduced hot water supply, leaks around the base, and strange noises coming from the tank. We can inspect your water heater and tell you honestly whether repair or replacement is the better option.

Question 23

What should I do if my water heater is making loud noises?

Accepted Answer

Popping, banging, or rumbling usually means sediment has built up inside the tank. Minerals settle at the bottom over time and cause the heater to overheat and make noise. We can flush the tank to remove the sediment, or recommend a replacement if the problem persists.

Question 24

Can you install water recirculation systems for instant hot water?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We install recirculation systems that deliver nearly instant hot water at your faucets. They cut water waste by keeping hot water ready to go, so you're not running the tap waiting for it to warm up.

Question 25

What drain cleaning services do you offer?

Accepted Answer

We offer comprehensive drain cleaning to clear blockages fast and restore proper flow. For stubborn or recurring clogs, we can run a sewer camera inspection to find the root cause instead of guessing.

Question 26

Do you offer sewer scoping and camera inspections?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We offer sewer scoping in Raleigh. Using a small waterproof camera, we inspect the inside of your sewer line to pinpoint blockages, root intrusion, grease buildup, sagging sections, and pipe damage. It's the fastest way to find out exactly what's going on underground before you spend money on repairs.

Question 27

Can you help with sewer line repairs?

Accepted Answer

We handle the diagnosis. Our sewer camera inspections show you exactly where the problem is and how severe it is. For full sewer line repair or replacement, we'll connect you with a reputable local specialist we trust, and we'll stay involved so nothing falls through the cracks.

Question 28

Do you offer leak detection services?

Accepted Answer

We don't offer specialized hidden-leak detection, but don't let that stop you from calling. If you notice unexplained increases in your water bill, damp spots, or mold growth, we can point you to a trusted leak detection specialist, and once the leak is located, we can handle the repair.

Question 29

Can you help with repiping or pipe replacement?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we handle everything from single-line pipe replacement to whole-house repiping. If your home has frequent leaks, discolored water, low pressure, or aging pipes, we can replace them with durable PEX or copper to restore flow and protect your home for the long haul.

Question 30

Do you offer water pressure testing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If your faucets produce weak streams or your pipes make unusual noises, we can test your home's water pressure, diagnose the cause, and make the adjustments or repairs needed to get things flowing right.

Question 31

What should I do if my washing machine drain is backing up?

Accepted Answer

A washing machine backup is usually a clogged drainpipe or a blockage in the main line. You can try a drain snake for minor clogs, but if the problem keeps coming back, we can perform a thorough drain cleaning to restore proper flow and prevent repeat backups.

Question 32

Do you handle gas line plumbing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We provide gas line plumbing services and are equipped to solve problems related to gas lines, keeping your home's gas system safe and functional.

Question 33

Can you assist with bathroom remodels?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We handle the plumbing side of bathroom remodels, including shower and tub replacements, with precision and quality craftsmanship.

Question 34

Do you provide water softener installation?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Hard water minerals like calcium and magnesium cause scale buildup that damages pipes, appliances, and fixtures. A water softener improves water quality, extends the life of your appliances, and makes daily water use easier on your home.

Question 35

Can you install kitchen garbage disposals?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If your disposal is jammed, leaking, making strange noises, or not grinding properly, we can troubleshoot the issue or replace the unit.

Question 36

Can you install bidets?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We install standalone bidets and bidet attachments for toilets. It's a hygienic, eco-friendly upgrade, and we can help you pick the right model for your bathroom.

Question 37

Can you install or replace outdoor hose bibs?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If your outdoor faucet is leaking, frozen, or damaged, we can repair it or replace it with a frost-proof model that stands up to winter.

Question 38

Can you install or repair sump pumps?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A failing sump pump can mean a flooded basement or crawl space. We can assess your pump's condition, repair it, or install a new, more efficient unit.

Question 39

Can you help with eco-friendly plumbing solutions?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We install low-flow toilets, water-saving faucets, tankless water heaters, and other efficiency upgrades that cut your water use and lower your utility bills.

Question 40

What should I do if I have a water leak?

Accepted Answer

Call us first at (919) 689-6609. We can often walk you through the first steps over the phone. If water is actively leaking, shut off your main water supply to limit the damage, and we'll assess and repair the issue.

Question 41

What should I do if my home has frozen pipes?

Accepted Answer

Turn off the main water supply and avoid using the affected fixtures. You can carefully thaw exposed pipes with a hair dryer or space heater, but never an open flame. Then call us right away so we can help you prevent a burst pipe and water damage.

Question 42

What should I do if my faucet is dripping?

Accepted Answer

A dripping faucet wastes water and raises your bill, and it's usually a worn washer, O-ring, or valve seat. We can inspect the faucet, find the cause, and repair or replace the parts to stop the leak.

Question 43

What should I do if my shower has low water pressure?

Accepted Answer

Low shower pressure is often mineral buildup or a clogged showerhead. Try soaking the showerhead in vinegar to dissolve deposits. If that doesn't fix it, we can inspect your plumbing and restore proper flow.

Question 44

How do I know if my toilet needs to be replaced?

Accepted Answer

If your toilet clogs frequently, has cracks, leaks, or needs constant repairs, it's probably time. Older toilets also use far more water per flush, so upgrading to an efficient model can lower your water bill. We can assess yours and recommend repair or replacement honestly.

Question 45

What should I do if my water has a strange smell or taste?

Accepted Answer

Unusual smell or taste can come from contaminants, mineral buildup, or plumbing issues. We can take a sample and have a water quality test done, usually at no charge, then recommend a filtration or treatment solution. In many cases a water filtration system or softener resolves it.

Question 46

How can I extend the life of my plumbing system?

Accepted Answer

Regular maintenance, quality fixtures, and being careful about what goes down the drain all help. Scheduling routine inspections with us catches small issues before they become expensive ones.
