May 2026
A homeowner in Knightdale noticed that her air conditioning unit was not cooling effectively and suspected a refrigerant leak.
Aaron detected a leak at the indoor coil, which was causing the refrigerant levels to drop.
Aaron performed a thorough leak search and confirmed the presence of a leak at the indoor coil. He informed the homeowner about the issue and provided an estimate for upgrading the unit, which she planned to sign shortly.
The homeowner was informed about the necessary upgrade to resolve the leak issue.

Plumbing emergencies strike without warning. Learn the 7 critical steps to take immediately to minimize damage and protect your home while waiting for professional help.
Read articleKnightdale homes built between 2000-2012 in subdivisions like Planters Walk and Poplar Creek Estates often have original tank water heaters approaching or exceeding their 10-12 year lifespan, increasing the risk of leaks and failures.
Knightdale receives water from the City of Raleigh system, which has moderate mineral content that causes gradual buildup in pipes, water heaters, and fixtures — reducing efficiency and shortening equipment life.
Some newer Knightdale homes built on slab foundations can develop pinhole leaks in copper supply lines, especially where soil conditions cause settling.
A small number of older Knightdale properties may still have polybutylene piping, which is prone to deterioration and failure, potentially requiring a full repipe.

Answered by our licensed technicians serving Knightdale.
The most common issues we see in Knightdale are water heater failures in homes over 10 years old, slow drains from mineral buildup, and running toilets. Older homes in Poplar Creek Estates may also have aging supply line connections that develop slow leaks.
Tankless water heaters work well for many Knightdale homes, providing endless hot water and lasting 20+ years versus 10-12 for tank models. They are especially beneficial in larger homes in Widewaters and Mingo Creek where demand for hot water is higher.
Knightdale water from the Raleigh system has moderate mineral content. While not severely hard, the mineral buildup over 10-15 years can reduce water heater efficiency and cause fixture staining. A water softener or conditioning system can help protect your plumbing and appliances.
A standard 50-gallon tank water heater replacement in Knightdale costs $1,200-$2,000. Tankless units range from $2,500-$4,500 installed. We offer same-day water heater replacement when available and provide upfront pricing before any work begins.
