Poole's Plumbing, Inc. is a fully licensed and insured residential and commercial Raleigh plumbing contracting company that was created in 1999 by Robert K. Poole. With two men, a truck, and a dream he had aspirations that one day his company would be one of the top plumbing contractors in the area. He started this journey by doing repair and renovation work in 1999. However due to the triangle area boom that we have seen over the past 10 years, repair and renovation work quickly escalated to residential and light commercial new construction. With plenty of blood, sweat, and tears along the way, Bob Poole accomplished his original goal and by 2007 Poole's Plumbing had 60+ employees and all the work it could handle. However, as many people know due to the on-going economic crisis, the triangle area construction industry has experienced a significant down turn since 2008 as the current housing crisis grows deeper. Currently, Poole's Plumbing, Inc. maintains a client portfolio that includes some of the largest national tract home building companies as well as some of the most well respected custom and semi-custom home builders in the triangle area. Although we are not operating on 2007 numbers, we continue to maintain a solid client portfolio and continue to produce a high quality product. The moral or ethical position of Poole's Plumbing, Inc. is to create an environment of Honesty, Integrity, and to maintain a high level of service without compromising quality or craftsmanship. While using the very best materials available in today's marketplace, Poole's Plumbing will never cut corners to save money. Our desired public image is to do every job right the first time at the best possible cost. We look at every job as if we were doing that job in our own home. Simply put, we want the call the next time you need us! Our Code of Ethics: - Always answer your phone - Accurately document any applicable information - Make the customer feel important and appreciated whenev

"After a very long weekend, I called Poole’s early Monday morning. Asked for advice and Carrie was most helpful. By 4:00 that afternoon, I was using hot water. Would use them again in a heartbeat."

Contact Us today to find the people and comfort you can count on! Financing is available and Military discounts.

"We got assigned this vendor through American Home Shield on June 7. Our AC unit was not holding 79 degrees in our upper floor. The tech came 5 days later and diagnosed a leak in the evaporator coil. They replaced it one week later ($3.5k). The following day, the unit was functioning worse than prior to the installation not holding 80 degrees in any of the floors. We called and came again 3 days later. One would expect they would come earlier as it was a follow up. They told us they need it to re-adjust the temperature of the compressor, apparently (they told us) this is common after coil replacement (why this was not done first? no idea!). One day after the visit, the unit still cannot hold 80 degrees in both floors. It is obvious the tech has no idea of what he is doing. At this point I am not sure the initial diagnosis and replacement of the coil (with the consequent fees of adding new refrigerant, $1800 + hand labor+ modifications, all not covered by AHS) was correct. Extremely frustrated experience. I would not recommend this vendor."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

You can decide whether you need a water softener or water filter based on how your bathing or laundry experience is. If you notice issues like limescale buildup, dry skin, or stains on dishes—all telltale signs of hard water—you'd likely benefit from a water softener. However, if your main concern is over chemicals or bacteria in your tap water filter, and not just comfort, a filter is a better option.

Yes. To get soft water, you can install a water softening system, which will replace the calcium and magnesium ions in the water with sodium or potassium ions. Water softeners cost anywhere from $200 to $6,000, depending on the size and complexity of the system. You can either install a water softener for the whole house or just at your shower heads. If you’re sensitive to sodium or potassium, you can install a salt-free water conditioner.

Installing a water softener could help reduce calcium buildup in your pool if your pool has high calcium hardness as a result of hard drinking water in your home. Pool softeners work by exchanging calcium and magnesium for sodium, so if you use softened water to top off your pool, it may help keep calcium hardness from rising over time. However, it won’t lower the calcium hardness of the water already in your pool and isn’t a practical way to control pool calcium levels. The average water softener installation cost is between $200 and $6,000.

No, hard water isn’t dangerous. The added calcium in hard water can contribute to good bone health. However, it can also cause dry skin and hair. If you have dry skin or hair, consider using a water-softening system to help minimize the minerals in your water. Plus, these systems can also add some sodium to your diet. 

Experts recommend that you put two to four bags of potassium chloride in your water softener every month. This amount depends on how much is in the bag (40 pounds is most common) and what your water softener manufacturer recommends. For more specific advice, talk to a water softener pro in your area and read the manual that came with your system.
