We know it’s tough to find a home services contractor you can trust. With over six decades of experience, Blanton’s is a Raleigh and Fayetteville mainstay. Known for our professional approach, quality products. and guaranteed workmanship, we’re proud to offer heating, cooling, plumbing and electric solutions that knock your socks off.

"Cancelled all services with Blanton as well as this well pitched Wow Service Plan. Was given a good pitch about services provided. However, after scheduling twice for services provided by service plan, only to have them cancelled and told need to reschedule. Today is was need to reschedule because they are anticipating (four days from now) a high volume of emergency calls due to cold weather and freezing temperatures. What cold weather? 52 and 43 at night are not freezing temps; 69 and 67 daytime are not freezing temps. So you reschedule appointments four days in advance with no actual justification or confirmation the day of of what you think might happen? Sounds more like laziness or a reason not to fulfill appointments made almost two weeks prior. Second, why have an online system that allows you to book an appointment and date but when you call to complete the appointment process, tell us that the dates that show on the calendar as “available” don’t actually mean they are available? The lady I spoke to said they are run by two different departments. Sounds like you need to update your systems and booking process that actually shows dates of availability so customers don’t waste time picking a date that isn’t actually available and waste time. Or get rid of calendar option altogether so you cannot select a date that isn’t in “real” time."

For more than 25 years Dr. Drain Plumbing has provided fast, reliable and guaranteed service for all types of plumbing needs. From plumbing repairs, septic repairs and wells to the installation of complete plumbing systems. We can handle it! We are one of the few plumbing companies with a full one year on all parts and labor guarantee. That alone tells you your plumbing troubles are over. Dr. Drain Plumbing is locally owned & Vet owned operated by Ted Bunnell. Ted has is a part of every job and is available to every customer before, during and after the job. We're the Triangle region's residential and light commercial plumbing repair and installation experts. You can expect our service team to be professional and courteous, to always make sure your questions are answered and to do the highest quality work.

"The plumber reworked the drain piping under the sink in December due to a leak at a connection joint. 3 Months later a connector came loose while the dishwasher was running and water flooded the sink cabinet. I called Dr Drain and was informed it would be 4 days before someone could come out and fix it. I explained this was an emergency, the kitchen sink was inoperable due to the drain pipe being disconnected and I could not go 4 days without my kitchen sink. The person I spoke to did not say they were sorry this happened (it was obviously not hooked up correctly in the beginning) or offer any help in the situation. It is unexceptable for a plumber to not offer emergency services when something they did failed and made the sink inoperable for 4 days."

Steve’s Plumbing was started in 1988 after many years of experience before that as a professional plumber. We have the experience to tackle any problem. We treat our customers how we would like to be treated. We are on time, and take great pride in our work. We are owner operated and I do a lot of the work myself. Our customers are our greatest asset. We personally answer the phone and will return all messages. We provide fast efficient service.

"Steve has been to my house twice and has been incredibly professional, kind, and clean both times. The first time, there was a leaking bathtub in my 2nd floor bathroom and although he had to cut the ceiling in the living room, he identified the problem and fixed it quickly and cleanly. He came the second time to my house to address a non-working kitchen sink garbage disposal and did it on the day I was moving! I couldn't have been more grateful for his services that day!"

Plumbing Handymen questions, answered by experts

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?

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?

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?

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?

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.
