Jeorell, Aaron & Mario
July 2026
An Apex homeowner noticed a leak in the crawl space and was unsure if it was due to the AC or plumbing.
Jeorell found water in the crawl space near the drain line exit but confirmed the drain line was not leaking.
Jeorell inspected the crawl space and confirmed that the drain line was functioning properly. He advised the homeowner to have a plumber inspect the area to rule out plumbing issues and coordinated with the dispatch team to arrange a plumbing visit.
The homeowner was informed about the need for a plumbing inspection to identify the source of the leak.
If you find water in your crawl space, it might not always be the AC. Check if water drains properly when poured into the drain line — this can help determine if the issue is elsewhere.

July 2026
An Apex homeowner noticed their flood stop sensor wasn't functioning properly during a recent heavy rainstorm.
Nick found that the flood stop sensor had been dislodged from its proper position in the pan, affecting its ability to detect water accurately.
Nick carefully repositioned the flood stop sensor back into the pan and conducted a thorough check to ensure all components of the installation were functioning as intended. He verified the sensor's responsiveness to potential water accumulation, ensuring the system was ready to protect the home from future leaks.
The homeowner was relieved to have the flood stop sensor working correctly, providing peace of mind during future storms.
If your flood stop sensor is dislodged, it won't detect water effectively. After any maintenance or cleaning, double-check that it's securely placed in the pan to prevent leaks.

A look at the real plumbing jobs Nick Pleasants and Chris Dick handled across Apex, Cary, Raleigh, and the rest of the Triangle this June, with the cause and the fix for each.
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.

Common signs include an unexplained increase in your water bill, the sound of running water when all fixtures are off, warm spots on the floor (slab leak), musty odors, or discoloration on walls and ceilings. If you suspect a leak, we can confirm it quickly with a pressure test.
Even a pinhole leak can release 5 to 10 gallons of water per day. Over weeks or months, that leads to mold growth, structural wood rot, damaged insulation, and ruined drywall. Early detection saves thousands in repair costs compared to waiting until damage is visible.
We handle the complete process — detection, repair, and pressure verification. For slab leaks, we offer direct repair through the concrete, tunnel-under access, and full reroute options. We discuss the pros and cons of each approach for your specific situation.
Most policies cover sudden and accidental water damage but not gradual leaks or maintenance issues. We provide detailed documentation including photos, pressure readings, and repair descriptions that help support your insurance claim. We recommend filing promptly after discovery.
