Plumbing jobs we can help with
Water heater repair and installation
Leaking tanks, lukewarm showers and a wish to go tankless all lead to a repaired, replaced or new heater. Call and we talk it through.
Drain cleaning
Water standing in a sink or tub, a laundry drain that gurgles or a main line that will not clear all call for a plumber with drain tools. Say which drain it is when you call.
Leak detection and slab leaks
A leak may sit behind drywall or below a floor with no sign on the surface. A higher water bill or a wall that stays damp are reasons to call, and the plumber you hire finds the leak and repairs the pipe.
Sewer line repair
When a sewer pipe cracks, clogs with roots or sags, waste can come back up into the house. The plumber you hire finds the problem and repairs the line in part or replaces it.
Repiping and water lines
Repiping can cover an entire house or just one stretch of supply pipe, and the service line that feeds the house can be renewed too.
Toilet, faucet and fixture repair
Toilets that no longer flush right, faucets that leak, shower valves gone bad and disposals that stick all go to a plumber for repair or replacement. Call and we set it up.
Raleigh is its own permit office
Raleigh’s Planning and Development department issues plumbing permits itself through the City permit portal, so no county office is involved, and your plumber files it. The City says that if you live in Raleigh and start a construction project, you will likely need a permit.
The State Board advises that the building permits are the contractor’s job and that the contract should say so. The City explains that a permit is there so a project is built safely under the North Carolina Building Code.
The lateral you own to the City main
Your sewer lateral runs from the house out to the spot where it connects with the City’s main sewer line, and Raleigh’s own page tells owners that this whole stretch is theirs to look after.
The City maintains the main sewer lines in the public right-of-way, which means sidewalks and streets. If a problem sits in the public right-of-way, the City is the one to call.

No known lead lines, and what a service line letter means
Raleigh Water says there are no known lead service lines in its service area and that galvanized pipes are extremely rare in its system. It is mapping every service line under the federal Environmental Protection Agency’s enhanced Lead and Copper Rule.
If a letter from the City asks you to verify your service line, the request is to help the City finish its map, and the City reports that no lead services have been found in its system. The City adds that a home built after 1986, service line included, is not galvanized or lead. Half of Raleigh’s homes were built in or before 1996.
