"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

The use of polybutylene pipes stopped in mid-1996 in the U.S., following a class action lawsuit that was filed against polybutylene plumbing manufacturers. Homes built between 1978 and 1996 are most likely to have polybutylene plumbing.

If methods like hot water or a plunger don’t work on your clogged drain, you can snake your drain to dislodge the plug. This can be a messy process, taking some physical effort and additional time over the other drain-clearing options. You can purchase a drain snake at a hardware store and choose from handheld options or those attached to a drill. Just work slowly, and be ready to call a plumber if you’re unable to reach the clog from your drain or P-trap.

Installing a gas line can be extremely time-consuming and dangerous, so you will want to hire a seasoned professional. Perform a thorough search ahead of time to find a reputable and reliable plumber. Pay special attention to licensing and insurance as you go about choosing the best contractor for your needs.

Yes, you should always call a plumber to replace a pipe that you fixed with a temporary solution. Some temporary pipe leak solutions like pipe leak clamps can last for years and prevent further damage to your home, but eventually, they will fail, at which point you could be looking at more significant water damage and mold growth. Even if you suspect that your temporary solution will last a long time, always call a plumber for a permanent fix. Temporary solutions should be for minimizing damage and avoiding added charges for emergency plumbing services.

While plumber’s tape is a great solution for many plumbing problems, there are some times when it’s not the right product for the job at hand. 

You shouldn’t use plumber’s tape on pipe connections in any of the following scenarios:

  • When connecting PVC pipes

  • If the pipe has wide threads, as water can still leak through the space between the threads

  • If the pipe has very tight threads, as the tape would prevent a proper connection

  • If the pipe threads are damaged, which would prevent the tape from providing a watertight seal

If your predicament is similar to any of these, a licensed plumber can help you solve the problem.
