Residential Plumbing
Owner-operated, residential plumbing for Greater Raleigh and Wake County. Diagnosis first, a clear price before any work begins, and no pressure to do more than you need.
David Dobbs has more than twenty years in the trade. When you call about a leak, a drain, a water heater, or anything in between, you reach David directly — not a call center and not a commissioned salesperson. He looks at the actual problem, tells you what he found, and gives you a price before he picks up a tool.
Repair, replacement, and tankless installation for gas and electric units. The water heater pages cover the cluster in detail: when a repair is the smart move versus when replacement actually makes sense, how to size a new unit, and how to weigh tank against tankless for your home.
Slow leaks behind walls, mystery puddles under sinks, pressure that has dropped off without explanation — David finds the source before pulling a wrench. Common fixes include shut-off valves, supply lines, pinhole leaks in copper, and worn fittings on traps and drains.
Backed-up sinks, slow showers, gurgling toilets, and main-line stoppages. David clears the blockage, checks that it actually drains, and tells you whether the line needs anything beyond the clearing. No upsell to a repipe you do not need.
When drains keep backing up, a sewer camera inspection shows exactly what is happening underground — no digging, no guesswork. Every inspection includes recorded video you keep, a written report, and line locating to mark where the problem sits and how deep it is.
Copper repair for pinhole leaks, partial repipes when one branch is failing, and full-home repipes when the existing supply has reached the end of its life. David walks you through whether a localized fix or a larger job is the better value.
Installs, swaps, and leak fixes for kitchen and bath faucets, showerheads, valves, and toilet rebuilds. Bring the part you already bought or let David pick a reliable unit at a fair price.
Installation and repair for stoves, water heaters, dryers, and outdoor lines. Code-compliant, safe, and done by the owner — not a subcontracted tech you have never met.
Fresh plumbing in a remodel, a whole-home filtration setup for hard water, or a new install in new construction. David handles the design, the rough-in, and the trim, and explains the trade-offs along the way.
