"Coming from a big city like New York I didn’t know much about septic systems. So it was all knew to me. I started to have water coming up in the yard. I noticed that it had a foul smell and a small puddle in the back yard. I contacted a buddy of mine who has a septic tank at his home. He told me to contact a company he used about a month ago. NC septic and pump specialist. He told me that they did a drain field line job for him and that it was awesome. So I called and made an appointment. It was a 9-11 am appointment and they showed up at about 9:30 and even called 30 min before they showed up. He arrived and introduced himself as Gage Martin the owner. I advised him that he came highly recommend by a good friend of mine. I took him to the area that had the puddle . He advised me that it would have to be pumped out and he can let me know more after. After pumping it down he advised me that the tank was in bad shape and should be all the cracks and route’s growing with in the tank. I could see that it was just rotting away. I advised Mr Martin that i was not to up on septic systems. He took his time and explained everything to me step by step. The way it works, what not to put in the tank, how the system actually operates. I asked him to quote me a price for a new tank. He had his office contact me with a quote with in an hour. and pictures of the inside and outside of the tank as well as all the damage to the tank. Also gave me the information needed to contact the people in the city and county to begin the process for the install. Even Help me with obtaining a permit to do the work. The work took about 2 days after I received the permit. I have a new tank and my system is running great. Thank you Gage for going above and beyond. For taking the time to explain all the moving parts of a septic system. Letting me know what to look out for and what not to put inside the tank. He even put me on a yearly check up. They will send me an email and remind me when it’s time to get my tank pumped. Thank you NC Septic & Pump Specialist for making my septic experience not so crappy. Lol."

"James Cress Jr Water Pump Company came out to check my well and give me an estimate on work to be performed. He was punctual with his appointment with me. He replaced my pump in the well and I am one satisfied customer. I will call him again. I will be referring him to family and friends. I was satisfied with the hob and the cost was reasonable."

"It went fantastically well. Greg Morgan came out and look at the job and was able to provide me with a comprehensive quote. He was helpful in designing the bathroom as as I was not sure exactly what I wanted and what I could afford. I had to get on their waitlist but they began when they promised. I was VERY pleased with the finished bathroom. I found all of the workmen to be very pleasant and respectful. They took care to protect the wood floors. The individual that did the tile work it an outstanding job. I will surely use HousePro for future projects."

"Tarheel Basement Systems is the reason my 125 year old house is standing. When I bought the house a few years ago, they did an excellent job making my house structurally sound with metal beams and jacks. They showed up on time and worked diligently in a tiny space. They did a great job back then and every year they come back and check over all the work, tightening things up, and checking for any issues. Our yearly inspection was last week and I am so grateful that they wiggle through the crawlspace each year. This year, Eric found an electrical wire that was sparking against the wooden subfloor of my house! A mouse had chewed away some of the wire insulation. He notified me and I was able to get the issue fixed quickly. The location of the wire was hidden in a small corner behind some plumbing, the electrician was amazed it was noticed, and I am very thankful that I found out before we had a house fire. Over the years I have been extremely impressed by their consistently excellent work. Extraordinary people doing amazing work!"

Plumbing FAQs, answered by experts

Sometimes a leaky faucet is simply the fault of a washer gone bad. Follow these steps to change the washer:

  • Shut off the water to the faucet

  • Remove the screw and handle

  • Remove the packing nut and washers

  • Clean and replace washers 

  • Reinstall the packing nut and handle

Technically, you can put an elongated toilet seat on a round toilet, but it’s not a good idea. Elongated toilet seats are a few inches longer than round toilets, so they will hang over the front edge of your toilet, which isn’t appealing. Additionally, an unsupported toilet seat or portion of a toilet seat is more likely to crack and shift, which could result in injury to whoever uses the toilet. Always match your toilet seat style to your toilet, or replace the toilet entirely if you’re looking to switch styles.

You can use a water gauge to check that water pressure, which should be between 40 and 60 PSI. If you don’t have a water gauge, you can also time how long your showerhead takes to fill up a 1-liter container. If it takes longer than 6 seconds, you’re dealing with a case of low water pressure.

For most homeowners, a plumbing inspection costs $100 to $500. It depends on the location, the type of inspection, and the size of your home. A simple visual inspection will cost up to $200, while a camera inspection that checks your underground sewer lines can cost more than $1,000. Nonetheless, this may still be a better option than tearing up your underground plumbing to find the problem.

The average cost to hire a plumber is typically between $45 and $200 per hour, with a common average rate around $125 per hour. This cost can vary based on your location, the plumber's experience, and the complexity of the job. Rates are often broken down by experience level: an apprentice may charge $45 to $90 an hour, a journeyman $60 to $110 an hour, and a master plumber $80 to $200 an hour. While hourly rates are standard, some plumbers may charge a flat fee for routine projects or offer project-based pricing. It's also common for plumbers to charge a minimum service or trip fee. For reference, some typical flat-rate costs for common jobs include: drain unclogging ($220), leaky faucet repair ($270), burst pipe repair ($400), toilet repair ($300), and water heater repair ($600). Note that these rates are for standard service hours; emergency, holiday, and after-hours calls will cost significantly more.
