Chris
August 2026
An Apex homeowner who had just bought his home requested a whole-home plumbing safety inspection, including a look at an exterior drainpipe continuously discharging water near the foundation.
Chris found that the cartridge for the tub/shower in the second-floor guest bath makes a loud screeching noise when the shower is on, and that a single faucet in the master bathroom had low pressure. He removed the water saver from that faucet to restore pressure, then checked the remaining bathrooms, the kitchen double bowl sink and garbage disposal, and the walkable crawlspace with pex water lines and pvc drain lines. Chris recommended replacing the Moen faucet cartridge, upgrading the aging washing machine supply hoses, flushing the tankless water heater, and completing the pool heater gas line and trap nipple work. The homeowner also asked about having a bidet seat installed in the first-floor full bath.
Pressure was restored to the master bathroom faucet after the water saver was removed.
Nick
February 2026
Nick found the kids' bathroom shower valve diverter sticking, which could potentially cause leaks in the walls, and the faucet leaking behind the handle and in need of replacement. During a thorough inspection of the whole home plumbing system in this Apex home, he confirmed that most of the home had been remodeled and looked to be in great condition, including a whole new re-pipe. He also recommended an annual service flush for the gas tank type water heater. Nick provided multiple options with upfront pricing, and the homeowner chose to purchase the new faucet herself so Nick could gather the other parts and return once she has it in hand.

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.
