Loose, Shifting Toilets and Well Water Filter in Pittsboro

What the customer reported

A Pittsboro homeowner reported that two Kohler toilets were very loose at the base and shifting, with concern about potential structural damage underneath. They also wanted their customer supplied Spring well water purification system installed and all three emergency shut off valves under the kitchen sink replaced.

What we found and did

When Nick pulled the left side guest bath toilet, he noticed some flooring damage underneath. He reset it for now, and it was tighter than it was before, while the toilet in the right side guest bathroom was shimmed and caulked. Nick also installed the homeowner's Spring well water filtration system with its included sediment filter, replaced all three emergency shut off valves under the kitchen sink, and replaced the expansion tank.

Result

Once all the work was completed, Nick tested everything thoroughly and confirmed everything was functioning properly.

What Pittsboro customers say about our plumbing work

Working with the Element Service team, in particular the Plumbing department, has been an absolute pleasure this last month. Starting with an inspection of my plumbing, where Chris came out did a very thorough inspection of all the plumbing and was very knowledgeable talking through everything he was looking at and why then giving good quality details on things that didn’t look great made me feel comfortable in decisions going forward on any work that I wanted to get done. Estimates were also very fairly priced and easy to work through getting the work scheduled. I decided on doing a new water heater installation, whole house water line re-pipe, and a shower replacement. Chris, Nick, and Manny were timely with their arrival to the project, walked me through what the plan was for the day and proceeded to complete the re-pipe and water heater installation on day 1. Chris and Nick came back on day 2 and worked through the shower replacement. The shower materials were of excellent quality and all turned out fantastic in the end! Through the whole process Chris made sure to keep me in the loop on how the work was progressing, if he was having issues, and on anything else I may need to know. These guys at Element Service group pride themselves on the work they do and ensure their customers are happy in the end! I really appreciate Chris and the team for the work on this large project and will definitely be using them for future projects and referring them to friends around the area.

Element was called after getting estimates from Comfort First, the plumbing company referred by American Home Shield for our broken water heater. The plumber from that AHS partner company was dishonest, trying to make it seem like modifications (which are not covered by the warranty) were all required when they were not. He also told me that if I chose the lowest-cost option, it could take three weeks for AHS to supply the new water heater. "Modifications" is the keyword for $$$ when dealing with home warranties. Element was able to get to my home within a day and installed the water heater the next morning. Chris was down-to-earth and completely honest about which code updates I actually must complete and why they were required. He also provided a quote for going tankless, but after a week of cold showers, I just wanted a quick replacement similar to the unit that had lasted us 14 years. The ultimate confirmation that Element was the right choice came when AHS called me directly and let me know the previous company lied—it only takes 3–5 days to ship a new water heater, not three weeks. I gladly took the AHS cash-in-lieu of repair option and put that money toward the Element bill. The new unit is a great step up—they replaced my old State Select with a State ProLine. The installation was highly professional, and it works great. Hopefully, I can get 14 years out of this one, too!

Nick and Chris were knowledgeable, professional, and timely during the entire process of replacing our gas tankless hot water heater.

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!

FAQ

Plumbing in Pittsboro: questions answered

Answered by our licensed technicians serving Pittsboro.

Should I inspect plumbing in my new Chatham Park home?

We recommend it. Rapid construction can lead to plumbing shortcuts. A professional inspection verifies drain slopes, connection quality, and fixture installation, catching issues before they cause leaks or drainage problems.

When should Briar Chapel homeowners replace their water heater?

If your water heater is over 10 years old, start planning. Briar Chapel homes built 2010-2015 are entering this window. Watch for rusty water, rumbling sounds, and decreased hot water. Proactive replacement avoids water damage.

What plumbing issues do historic Pittsboro homes have?

Common issues include galvanized or lead supply lines, outdated fixtures, and aging drain systems. We provide modernization plans that improve safety and performance while respecting the home's historic character.

Do you handle well water plumbing in rural Pittsboro?

Yes. We serve rural Chatham County properties with well water systems and understand how mineral content affects plumbing. Water treatment solutions protect your pipes, water heater, and fixtures from scale buildup.
