September 2026
A homeowner in Raleigh noticed a small leak coming from the middle of her kitchen faucet.
Alex determined that the leak was actually coming from the hose that attaches to the sprayer. Alex tightened the sprayer, which resolved the leak. After evaluating the plumbing system, he noted that the expansion tank on the water heater needed replacement due to being full. He replaced the expansion tank and adjusted the pressure to 2 psi above the house pressure, providing a 1-year warranty for the new tank.
The kitchen faucet leak was fixed, and the water heater's expansion tank was replaced, ensuring the system's reliability.
A leaking kitchen faucet might be due to a loose sprayer hose. Tightening it can often solve the problem quickly and inexpensively.

June 2026
A homeowner in Raleigh noticed a persistent leak from the downstairs powder bathroom faucet.
Nick found that the Moen faucet stems were worn out, causing the handles to be difficult to turn and leading to leaks. Nick replaced the hose bib in the garage, which required accessing the sheet rock. He also replaced the hot and cold Moen laboratory cartridges in the powder bathroom, ensuring the handles turned smoothly. After completing the replacements, Nick thoroughly tested the system to confirm everything was functioning properly.
The faucet and hose bib were restored to optimal working condition, eliminating leaks and improving water pressure.
Leaky faucets often signal worn-out cartridges. If you notice difficulty turning your faucet handles, it's time to replace the cartridges to prevent water waste and potential damage.

The homeowner reported a constant drip from the master shower, even after a new shower head was installed.
Chris found that the issue was not with the showerhead but with the shower cartridge, which needed replacement. Chris provided the homeowner with an estimate to replace the faulty shower cartridge. He explained that the cartridge was likely worn out, causing the persistent drip. The homeowner agreed to the replacement, and Chris installed a new cartridge, ensuring a proper fit and function.
The shower no longer dripped, resolving the homeowner's issue.
A dripping shower often means the cartridge is worn out. If you notice a persistent drip, replacing the cartridge can prevent water waste and reduce your water bill.

Read articleRaleigh's hot, humid summers with temperatures often reaching 95°F+ put tremendous stress on HVAC systems. Systems must be properly maintained and sized to handle the extended cooling season from May through September.
The city's diverse neighborhoods from downtown high-rises to suburban homes to historic properties each have unique HVAC needs. Our technicians are experienced with all building types and their specific challenges.
Wake County building codes and city permits have specific requirements for HVAC installations and replacements. We handle all permitting to ensure your system meets local compliance standards.
Urban heat island effects in downtown Raleigh can increase cooling demands by 5-10 degrees compared to surrounding areas. This requires careful system sizing and efficient equipment selection.

Answered by our licensed technicians serving Raleigh.
Absolutely. We're happy to install customer-supplied faucets. Just make sure the faucet is compatible with your sink's hole configuration (single-hole, three-hole, or widespread). If you're unsure, send us a photo and we'll confirm before your appointment.
A straightforward faucet replacement typically takes 45 minutes to an hour. If we need to replace shut-off valves or supply lines, which we often recommend in older Apex homes, add another 20 to 30 minutes.
If your faucet is less than 10 years old and the issue is a worn cartridge or O-ring, repair is usually the most cost-effective choice. For older faucets with multiple problems, corroded bodies, or discontinued parts, replacement gives you better long-term value and improved water efficiency.
We frequently recommend Delta with Diamond Seal technology, Moen with their Duralast cartridge, and Kohler ceramic disc models. These are specifically designed to resist mineral buildup and maintain smooth operation for years in hard water conditions like we have in the Triangle.
