"I highly recomend this company for their knowledge and experience in dealing with plumbing issues. I had a water leak in the main water line from the meter to the house. I had some reservation that the plumber could find the leak let alone fixing it. I could tell he knew about different materials that go into plumbing, which is important to fix it right and guarantee the job. On a side note, he was pleasant and friendly."

"Amazing!!! We had an urgent need for our main sewage line to be unclogged. We had one of the "big companies" come out and they wanted to charge us almost $700/hr. so we had to tell them to leave. So then I got in touch with Brandon and he came out promptly the next morning (which happened to be xmas eve) and got our nightmare of a problem resolved AT A VERY REASONABLE PRICE, nonetheless! He was kind and courteous, and I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone with plumbing issues!"

"Brought in to investigate a leak. It turns out the leak was from a defective shower faucet cartridge. However rather than checking the source first the plumber made holes in ceiling (below). I think had he just turned on the shower faucet he'd found the issue and avoided the need for me to repair the sheetrock."

"We called All American after another company failed to come back to complete their work.  Jason was helpful and informative and they came out the next day to fix a slow drain from our outlet box.  They had to dig in order to identify the problem, which was roots obstructing an outlet pipe - causing slow drainage.  They were up front and honest about costs and kept us informed the whole time.  They were also extremely fast and efficient considering the amount of work they did.  
The work was done for the buyers of our home after the home inspector noticed the slow drainage.  All American gave us a clear, itemized receipt and said that we could have the home buyers contact them with any questions.

"Actually Fairbanks removed my garden tub and installed a walk-in tub with hydrotherapy. The project included an electrian & 2 plumbers....they were profession, efficient, and very approachable. The Project Team did a good job scheduling & handling any other issues or questions I had. The salesman for Koehler was excellent,also."

Affordable Plumbers FAQs, answered by experts

In Durham, homeowners often encounter additional costs such as permit fees from the Durham City-County Inspections Department, repairs to walls or floors after pipe access, and code-required upgrades. Older homes may reveal outdated or hazardous materials like lead pipes, requiring remediation. After exterior plumbing work, restoring landscaping is another frequent expense. Planning for these possibilities can help you avoid surprises during your plumbing project.

Helpful?

In Durham, most plumbing work—including new installations, major repairs, or gas line modifications—requires a plumbing permit issued by the Durham City-County Inspections Department. Projects must comply with the North Carolina Plumbing Code, and inspections are mandatory at key stages. Always confirm permit requirements with the Inspections Department before starting, and work with a licensed plumber to ensure your project meets all local plumbing regulations.

Helpful?

When reviewing quotes for plumbing work in Durham, be cautious of unusually low estimates, requests for full payment upfront, or lack of a verifiable business address. Always ask for proof of licensing and insurance, as required by the North Carolina State Board of Examiners of Plumbing, Heating, and Fire Sprinkler Contractors. Checking references from local homeowners helps ensure you're hiring a reputable, qualified professional.

Helpful?

Durham's occasional winter freezes make pipe insulation and frost-proof outdoor faucets essential for local plumbing projects. High humidity can lead to condensation issues in basements, so proper ventilation is key. Tree root intrusion is also common in older neighborhoods, so regular sewer line inspections are recommended. Scheduling major plumbing work in spring or fall can help avoid weather-related delays and ensure better contractor availability.

Helpful?

For plumbing work in Durham, PEX tubing and copper piping are preferred for their resilience against freezing, which is important given local winter conditions. For drain and vent lines, PVC is commonly used and meets Durham plumbing codes. Sourcing materials from reputable local plumbing supply stores ensures compliance with city standards and helps address Durham's unique water quality and climate considerations for long-lasting results.
