"Just moved into house and discovered a few issues with plumbing so purchased the special deal.  They emailed me within the hour of buying deal to set up appointment.  Luckily there was a cancelation so appointment was set up first thing next morning.  Called before arrival and arrived right on time.  Trouble shot the issue with my kitchen sink which turned out to be odor from lubricant and was very helpful providing me information about my water filter.  Fixed the problem with the toilet and inspected the other components of toilet and let me know condition.  Very professional, very helpful and informative.  Would definitely recommend and hire again.  Thanks!

"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."

"David was very helpful. He came and looked at what I needed done and he told me where to hook into the main water system which was readily accessible and told me what I needed to complete the job. I have done some pluming tasks so this was a project I felt very comfortable in doing myself. He saved me a lot of $$$. I will be using his service in the future. Thank you David for your assistance."

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

Most standard residential water heaters, which are typically around 40 gallons and use 240 volts and between 3,500 and 5,500 watts, require a 30-amp, two-pole circuit breaker. For smaller, point-of-use water heaters using 120 volts and between 1,500 and 3,000 watts, a 30-amp breaker is also often adequate. However, some models may have different needs; units that use more watts than average may require a 40-amp breaker, while smaller units might only need a 20-amp breaker. Newer, tankless, or more energy-efficient models can also require a higher amperage. Having the correct breaker size is crucial for safe and efficient operation, so it's best to consult a licensed electrician to determine the specific needs of your water heater.

A thermocouple is a pretty simple device. It simply tells the control valve if heat is present. Most water heaters can use a universal thermocouple, provided it's the correct length. Getting one that's long enough for your appliance is crucial for success. However, some water heater models require model-specific thermocouples, which is why it's essential to take your existing one to the store to find the right match.

Gas water heaters last between eight and 12 years on average. You can help them reach their maximum lifespan with regular cleanings, maintenance, and professional checkups, though don’t hesitate to swing for a full replacement if the total cost of repairs is greater than that of purchasing and installing a new unit. 

If your water heater is about to celebrate the big 2-0, you may want to consider sending it off to greener pastures. While the water heater may seem to be working well, any conventional, tanked water heater over 10 years of age is at risk of failure. If your water heater is 20 years or older, your best move is to replace your aging heater before it completely breaks down.

Often, the first issue you might encounter is a lack or loss of power—this could be caused by a tripped switch or a failed heating element. If your hot water is not producing enough power and its size is not the issue, you might need to replace one of its heating elements. A leaking water heater could be caused by tank erosion.
