Chris, Nick & Abimael
April 2026
Chris, Nick, and Abimael found galvanized washing machine and kitchen sink drains in this Garner home in the 27529 area. The crew replaced all the waterlines in and underneath the home with PEX, adding new emergency shut off valves at each fixture, a new washing machine box and valves, and a new pressure regulator. They also replaced the galvanized laundry drain with a new P-trap running into the crawlspace, upsized after the first turn and tied into the main drain. In addition, they replaced the galvanized kitchen sink drain with a new 2 inch drop (adding a vent under the sink and capping the existing roof vent), replaced the lavatory drain, installed a 50 gallon electric lowboy water heater to current North Carolina code, and added new dryer venting through the side wall; a roughly 2 foot section of waterline to the shower valve inside the wall was not replaced.
The crew ran water through the drains and found no leaks.

Signs of frozen pipes include: no water or only a trickle when you turn on faucets, frost visible on exposed pipes, strange smells from drains (blockage), and bulging or cracked pipes. Pipes most at risk are in unheated areas like crawl spaces, attics, garages, and exterior walls. If you suspect frozen pipes, call us immediately. We can thaw them safely before they burst.
First, shut off your main water valve immediately (know where it is before an emergency). Then call us for emergency service. While waiting: turn off electricity in affected areas if there's standing water, move valuables away from the water, and start removing water with towels or a wet vac if safe. Don't wait. Water damage compounds quickly.
Keep your home heated to at least 55°F, even when away. Open cabinet doors under sinks on exterior walls to let warm air circulate. Let faucets drip during extreme cold: moving water is less likely to freeze. Insulate exposed pipes in crawl spaces, attics, and garages. Seal gaps where cold air enters near pipes. Disconnect and drain outdoor hoses before winter.
