The homeowner wanted to upgrade their laundry and bathroom fixtures for improved functionality and aesthetics.
Nick found that the existing fixtures were outdated and the laundry area lacked a proper drain pan for the washing machine.
Nick installed a new stainless steel drop-in laundry sink and faucet, both supplied by the homeowner. He also attached a washing machine drain pan to the existing drain. In the bathroom, Nick installed a Delta tub/shower trim kit, including an overflow plate and toe tapper assembly, and replaced two lavatory faucets in the upstairs hall bath.
All fixtures were tested and functioned perfectly, and the washing machine was reset in its new pan, leaving the homeowner satisfied with the upgrades.
Consider upgrading to stainless steel fixtures for a modern look and increased durability in high-use areas like laundry rooms and bathrooms.

The homeowner was dealing with a leaky kitchen sink faucet and malfunctioning toilets in the guest and buddy bathrooms.
Nick found that the kitchen sink faucet needed replacement and both toilets required new fill valves and flappers.
Nick replaced the customer-supplied kitchen sink faucet. He also installed new fill valves, flappers, and supply lines in the buddy bathroom toilet, and replaced the fill valve, flapper, and handle in the upstairs guest toilet.
After thorough testing, all fixtures were functioning properly, resolving the homeowner's plumbing issues.
A dripping toilet often indicates a worn flapper; if you hear water running, replace it promptly to avoid higher water bills. For kitchen faucet leaks, check the connections first—tightening them can save you from a full faucet replacement.

The homeowner noticed some issues in the kids' bathroom, including a sticking shower valve diverter and a leaking faucet.
Nick found that the shower valve diverter was sticking, which could potentially lead to leaks, and the laboratory faucet was leaking behind the handle.
Nick conducted a thorough inspection of the home's plumbing system, identifying the need for a new laboratory faucet and an annual service flush for the tank-type water heater. He provided multiple options and upfront pricing for the necessary repairs. The homeowner decided to purchase a new laboratory faucet and will contact the service group once the faucet is in hand.
The homeowner is prepared to proceed with the necessary repairs once the new faucet is acquired.
If the shower valve diverter is sticking, it’s likely buildup or wear causing it. Fix it sooner rather than later to avoid leaks that could damage walls or floors.

Regular plumbing maintenance helps you avoid major issues and keeps your system running smoothly. Follow this comprehensive 10-point checklist to protect your home from costly repairs and extend the life of your plumbing system.
Read articleApex's hot, humid summers with temperatures regularly exceeding 90°F put extra strain on AC systems, requiring more frequent maintenance to handle constant use and moisture.
The Triangle's seasonal temperature swings mean HVAC systems must efficiently handle both heating in winter and cooling in summer, with proper tune-ups before each season.
High humidity levels in Apex cause condensation issues and can lead to mold growth in ductwork if systems aren't properly maintained and sized.
Local building codes and HOA requirements in Apex neighborhoods require specific permits for HVAC installations and replacements to ensure compliance.

Answered by our licensed technicians serving Apex.
Absolutely. We're happy to install customer-supplied faucets. Just make sure the faucet is compatible with your sink's hole configuration (single-hole, three-hole, or widespread). If you're unsure, send us a photo and we'll confirm before your appointment.
A straightforward faucet replacement typically takes 45 minutes to an hour. If we need to replace shut-off valves or supply lines — which we often recommend in older Apex homes — add another 20 to 30 minutes.
If your faucet is less than 10 years old and the issue is a worn cartridge or O-ring, repair is usually the most cost-effective choice. For older faucets with multiple problems, corroded bodies, or discontinued parts, replacement gives you better long-term value and improved water efficiency.
We frequently recommend Delta with Diamond Seal technology, Moen with their Duralast cartridge, and Kohler ceramic disc models. These are specifically designed to resist mineral buildup and maintain smooth operation for years in hard water conditions like we have in the Triangle.
