"Mike installed a new underground gas line for our inground pool heater. He did and amazing job! He was so fast and hardworking but also personable and prefessional. He answered all of my questions in an easy-to-understand way for someone who isn't in the industry. I felt I could trust him and didn't feel I was being overcharged or taken advantage of. Will definitely be calling Mike again for any of our future needs. 10/10!"

"After clearing the sewer line blockage, David tried to convince me the line had to be dug up and replaced.  When I told him that was done in 2011 (he did not work on that job) he backtracked and told me he needed to scope the line and dig up the yard to determine the problem. I told him I didn't think there was a problem with the sewer line, but do have a problem with the low pressure in the water lines, and I requested an estimate to replace them. He replied he had to consult with his manager and they would get back to me. Eventually the manager called me to review the work I requested, but the job description bore no resemblance to what I discussed with David. I gave her the correct information , and she told me she would "get back with me" for an estimate. This type of conversation went back and forth 2 more times and I never did get any firm answers regarding the job. I finally gave up trying to communicate with these people, but also questioned their ethics because of trying to redo the sewer line. I don't trust them any more."

"I had started a landscaping project in my front yard to remove rocks from my flower beds provided by the previous owner and needed my utilities marked. The sewer line in the yard is apparently considered a "private line" so I needed to find a private business to find and mark it. My family always has used Cape Fear Rooter for plumbing stuff, and I wasn't sure if they did that type of thing or not. I called them on 3/21, and they said yes! They asked me when I needed it by. I asked them to come on 3/22 if possible. They said ok and provided me with a 45 minute phone call in advance of arrival since I work from home. Upon arrival, they quickly got to work. They spray painted with a water soluble paint dashes of where my sewer line was in my entire front yard. They were very knowledgeable and trustworthy. I felt comfortable enough with them to just leave the check on the front porch table in advance after greeting them so I could continue working inside. When I went outside to check where the line was, I saw they had left the receipt in the place of the check. The owners and employee were very professional, friendly, and efficient."

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

On average, a tankless water heater should last between 10 and 15 years. Its lifespan will be affected by how much it's used, the effect of weather where your home is on the unit—colder is harsher and will shorten lifespan—and if the heater is maintained appropriately and regularly. There are many signs your water heater needs to be replaced, so pay attention to anything that changes with your heater or hot water.

If you want instant hot water and to reduce water waste while improving convenience, a hot water recirculating system is worth it, especially if you find your hot water heater is not hot enough. These systems can save thousands of gallons of water each year so you don't have to wait for hot water at faucets and showers. The upfront investment can be high, especially for systems requiring additional plumbing, but the long-term savings on water bills and added comfort make them a worthwhile upgrade.

Most hot water heater manufacturers recommend replacing the anode rod about once every three to five years. Anode rods sacrifice themselves by collecting iron, limestone, and other minerals that would otherwise corrode your hot water heater tank. This abuse wears them out long before your water heater does. Check the rod when you remove it and replace it if more than 50% of the metal has been consumed. Check the rod more frequently if you have hard water or use a water softener. 

You can use multiple tankless water heaters, but that doesn’t mean you should. Adding multiple tankless heaters adds considerable cost to your home in both parts and installation costs. Also, you’re adding many more points of failure in the system, making plumbing issues harder to diagnose. More heaters mean more maintenance, and insurers may want a word regarding the increased risk of water damage. A single, larger unit makes more sense in most situations.

Electric water heaters do not need an attached vent, but the location of the water heater should allow for roughly 12 inches of clearance around it. This allows cool air to flow around the appliance and allows repair technicians to work on its components safely. The exact amount of clearance space required depends on your local building codes.
