Why Are My Toilets Shifting in Pittsboro?
The Problem
A Pittsboro homeowner noticed that both toilets on the right side of their home were loose and shifting at the base.
What We Found
Nick found that the toilets were very loose and one appeared to have potential structural damage underneath, which could lead to a flange replacement.
The Fix
Nick installed a customer-supplied Spring well water purification system, running 80 feet of PEX piping to accommodate it. He also replaced all three emergency shut-off valves under the kitchen sink and the whole home pressure regulator. Nick reset the left side guest bathroom toilet, noting some flooring damage, and shimmed and caulked the right side guest bathroom toilet. Additionally, the expansion tank was replaced.
The Result
After thorough testing, all systems were functioning properly, and the toilets were secure.
Pro Tip
If your toilet feels loose or shifts, it might indicate underlying structural damage. Addressing it promptly can prevent more costly repairs like flange replacements.

Why Is My Kitchen Sink Drain Exposed Outside?
The Problem
A homeowner in Pittsboro was concerned about an unusual drain setup with exposed pipes and venting outside their home.
What We Found
Chris and Nick discovered a non-code compliant connection from ABS to PVC and an exposed drain line outside, along with a horizontal Studer vent from the kitchen sink.
The Fix
The technicians assessed the situation and determined that the current setup was not up to code. They advised the homeowner on the necessary steps to bring the plumbing system into compliance, including proper venting and secure connections.
The Result
The homeowner was informed of the issues and provided with guidance on how to proceed with code-compliant repairs.
Pro Tip
Exposed drain lines can lead to blockages and odors. If you notice any leaks or bad smells, prioritize addressing the setup to avoid costly repairs and ensure it meets plumbing codes.

Whole-Home Water Filtration Installation in Pittsboro
The Problem
A Pittsboro homeowner wanted to improve their water quality with a new filtration system.
What We Found
Nick found that the homeowner had a SpringWell large carbon filter and a smaller sediment filter ready for installation.
The Fix
Nick installed the customer-supplied carbon filter and sediment filter in the garage, adding isolation valves for each to simplify future maintenance. He soaked the resin beads as per manufacturer instructions and guided the homeowner on how to activate the system 48 hours later. Nick pressurized the system, checked for leaks, and insulated all waterlines.
The Result
The homeowner now has a fully installed and leak-free whole-home water filtration system.
Pro Tip
If you notice cloudy or off-tasting water, it could be a sign that your current filters aren’t doing their job. Installing isolation valves not only simplifies future maintenance but also helps you quickly shut off water during any filter changes.

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.)”
