Durham's unique plumbing challenges

About 60 nights a year below freezing, when uninsulated crawlspace lines give out

The oldest blocks in town run plumbing decades older than the newer builds toward Chapel Hill

First frost typically lands around November 13

Seasonal timing

Frost around November 13 opens a season of about 60 freeze nights, so locating and testing the main shutoff is the first thing worth doing in any house you have just moved into.

Common questions

How much does a plumber cost?

It depends on the job and how bad the problem is. That is why the first step is a phone call. Describe the problem and get your free estimate on the phone, with upfront pricing.

Will I talk to a real person?

Yes, you will.

Do I need to fill out a form?

No forms and no waiting on emailed quotes. One phone call is all it takes.

Can I get help at night or on a weekend?

We have plumbers ready to help families in the community 24/7, but moment-to-moment availability depends on demand. Call to find out how soon we can service your home.

Should I wait to call?

You already know that plumbing problems don't go away on their own. And waiting just increases the risks to your house. Plumbers see this hesitation all the time. Instead of regretting not calling earlier, just make that 2-minute call now and get your free estimate.

People also ask

What should be on a new homeowner's plumbing checklist?

Find and test the main shutoff, locate the curb stop box, check static pressure at an outside tap, and note the water heater's age from its label. Those four take under an hour together. They tell you most of what you need to plan for.

Are cast iron drains common in the older neighbourhoods?

In houses from the mid-century and earlier, yes, and scale and cracking are the known failure modes. Slow drainage across several fixtures at once points at the stack. A camera survey gives a clear answer.

Who is responsible for a sewer line under the pavement?

The property owner generally owns the lateral to the connection at the main, which surprises people the first time it blocks. The utility maintains the main itself. Confirming the arrangement for your address before a problem is worthwhile.

Does a duplex or subdivided house have one shutoff or two?

It depends on how the conversion was done, and older subdivisions in places like Butner and around here often left a single supply serving both units. Closing it affects the neighbour. Establishing that in advance avoids an awkward call at a bad hour.
