Professional Pipe Repair in Coats Town Center, Coats

Element Service Group will send a licensed plumber to your home for a full plumbing inspection — free. No strings, no obligation, no "but first let me tell you about our membership." Just a real inspection that would normally cost $89. We're a veteran-owned company with over 700 five-star reviews across the Triangle, and this is how we introduce ourselves: by showing you what's actually going on with your plumbing before asking for a dime.

What Falls Under Plumbing

Plumbing touches more of your home than most people think about until something goes wrong. On the everyday side, we handle drain cleaning, leak detection, pipe repair, toilet repair, faucet and fixture work, and garbage disposal service. These are the calls that start with "it's been dripping for a while" or "the kitchen drain is slow again." Small problems, but they get expensive if they sit.

Water heaters are a major category on their own. We repair and install both traditional tank water heaters and tankless systems. Tank heaters last 8–12 years on average. If yours was installed during the Apex/Cary building boom of 2000–2015, the math says it's either due or overdue. Tankless units last longer but need professional installation and periodic descaling — especially in the Triangle.

Water quality services include whole-home water filtration and water softener installation. Wake County water runs on the harder side, and mineral buildup takes a toll on pipes, fixtures, and appliances over time. If you're seeing white scale on your faucets or your water heater is making popping sounds, hardness is likely the culprit.

Sump pump service matters for homes in lower-lying areas of Apex, Holly Springs, and Fuquay-Varina where water table levels rise during heavy spring rains. Plumbing remodeling covers bathroom and kitchen rough-ins and fixture upgrades. And emergency plumbing is available 24/7 — because a burst pipe at 2 AM doesn't wait for business hours.

Triangle-Specific Plumbing Issues

The Triangle's housing stock creates predictable plumbing patterns. Homes built in the early 2000s used materials and fixtures that were standard at the time but are now reaching end-of-life. PEX connections from that era sometimes develop pinhole leaks. Original water heaters are failing. Builder-grade faucets and toilets are wearing out.

Wake County's water hardness means mineral deposits build up in pipes, reduce water heater efficiency, and shorten the lifespan of dishwashers and washing machines. A water softener or whole-home filtration system isn't a luxury here — it's a practical investment that protects your plumbing and appliances.

Heavy rain events in spring and early fall put stress on drainage and sump systems. Homes in newer Fuquay-Varina and Holly Springs developments sometimes have grading issues that direct water toward foundations rather than away from them. A working sump pump and proper drainage are the backstop.

What the Free Inspection Covers

A licensed plumber walks your home and checks water pressure, inspects visible supply and drain lines, looks at your water heater condition, checks under sinks for leaks, tests toilets for running or phantom flushing, and evaluates your outdoor hose bibs. You get a written summary of findings and recommendations. If everything looks good, you get peace of mind for free. If there are issues, you have a clear picture and honest pricing before deciding anything.
