Why Are My Drains Gurgling in Garner?
The Problem
A homeowner in Garner noticed persistent gurgling sounds coming from the drains.
What We Found
Chris found that the home's old galvanized pipes were causing drainage issues and potential blockages.
The Fix
Nick and Abimael replaced all waterlines throughout the home with PEX, installed new emergency shut-off valves at each fixture, and upgraded the washing machine box and valves. They also replaced the galvanized washing machine drain with a new P-trap and upsized the kitchen sink drain to a 2-inch drop, ensuring proper venting. Additionally, they installed a new 50-gallon electric lowboy water heater and updated the dryer venting to meet current codes.
The Result
The homeowner's plumbing system was modernized, eliminating the gurgling sounds and ensuring efficient water flow.
Pro Tip
If you hear gurgling in your drains, it might indicate venting issues or blockages. Addressing these early can prevent more significant plumbing problems down the line.

Quick Leak Fix in Garner
The Problem
A homeowner in Garner experienced a water leak coming from the washer area upstairs, causing concern about potential water damage.
What We Found
Nick found a loose washing machine supply line hose with a potentially damaged seat washer, which was the source of the leak.
The Fix
Nick and Chris replaced the washing machine hoses to stop the leak. As a courtesy, they also installed a slip-on tub spout in the upstairs master bathroom and informed the homeowner about some corrosion on the hose bib shut off in the garage, suggesting potential annual service for the electric water heater.
The Result
The leak was successfully stopped, and the homeowner was relieved to have the issue resolved quickly.
Pro Tip
If you notice water pooling under the washing machine, check the supply line connections first. Tightening loose hoses can often prevent further damage before it escalates to more extensive repairs.

Leak Detection and Repair in Garner
The Problem
A homeowner in Garner was experiencing issues with their HVAC system due to a suspected leak.
What We Found
Jeorell found multiple leaks around the outdoor unit valves after conducting a thorough leak search.
The Fix
Jeorell discussed the findings with the homeowner and provided quotes for both a system replacement and a repair. The system was turned off at the time of departure to prevent further issues.
The Result
The homeowner was informed of their options and is considering the next steps for repair or replacement.
Pro Tip
If you notice refrigerant pooling around the outdoor unit, it's a strong indicator of a leak. Address it immediately; ignoring it can lead to system failure and costly repairs down the line.

Plumbing reviews in Garner
Jason Dalton
“Nick and Chris were knowledgeable, professional, and timely during the entire process of replacing our gas tankless hot water heater.”
Paige Darlington
“Chris was amazing! From the estimate to the completion of the install of a new water heater he never missed a step. He was clear and professional in his communication, detailed in his work, and left the site better than he found it. His whole crew, including Tay (and I forgot to ask the other gentleman's name) were also all great!”

“Chris D. showed up this morning to replace my water heater and repair my plumbing. He assessed what problems he would be working against quickly, and adapted to what parts/tools were missing without ever missing a beat. Chris was quick, friendly, professional, and had a calming demeanor about him that put future anxieties about my water heater at ease. He was great about communicating (without being a bother) about what he was doing, how he was progressing, etc. and I could not be more thankful for that transparent communication.
Thank you Chris, for what felt like a genuine textbook example of how I hope any service call goes. The work was top, the work ethic was top, and the professional and friendly attitude was mint. This is what the standard should be.
(Our apartment complex has a contract with the company, so I did not have to pay out of pocket for this replacement unit. I asked Chris if he had an estimate, but he was unable to provide that information without contacting someone else who handles the contract and estimates between the two parties. I did not want to press the issue, so I'm unable to give you an adequate review on price, but they seem to be at market rates for their services and the unit they selected.)”

Standard tank water heater replacement in Garner runs $1,200-$2,500. Tankless water heater installation ranges from $2,500-$4,500. Tankless units provide endless hot water and longer lifespan, making them popular in Garner's larger newer homes.
Do you offer emergency plumbing service in Garner?

Should I re-pipe my older Garner home?
If your Garner home has polybutylene pipes or galvanized steel pipes with declining water pressure, re-piping with modern PEX is a smart investment. PEX is flexible, corrosion-resistant, and typically lasts 50+ years. Re-piping a Garner home typically costs $4,000-$10,000.
