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."

"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."

"In attempt to modify my review of Lester's Plumbing, I did want to mention that I was notified that I would receive a refund for my service call due to the lack of diagnosis, which I do appreciate. As I mentioned in my previous review, I am more than willing to pay for service calls when the service promised (i.e. a diagnosis) is delivered. In my case, no diagnosis was provided. Many other reviews of this plumber show positive results."

Michael & Son Services provides expert plumbing, electrical, heating & cooling service for residential customers. We offer 24/7 emergency service, financing options for any size job & pride ourselves on exemplary customer service. We are licensed, bonded & insured with over 35 years of experience behind us.

"In May of 2025, I hired Michael and Son for crawlspace water damage mitigation. They didn?t complete the work but billed me over $15,000?charging for my entire house instead of the 540 sq. ft. affected area. Even after reducing the charge, it was still above standard mitigation and plumbing fees and clearly overcharged. Contractors later found incomplete remediation, including uncleaned joists and improperly reattached insulation. I asked the Mitigation Manager multiple times to finish the job, but nearly five months later, the issue remains. The remaining mold residue is affecting my respiratory health. Their plumber also failed to install my water pressure regulator valve, causing plumbing problems elsewhere and additional expenses. BBB is involved, but Michael and Son are still unwilling to take responsibility for their incomplete work. My experience has caused significant stress and grief. I would highly not recommend them to any homeowners."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

Choosing involves understanding water hardness levels, household size, desired features, and consulting professionals experienced in suitable system types.

While it depends on how complicated the unit and installation is, it takes two to four hours to install a water softener unit, on average. It might take longer if pipes need to be replaced. You should make sure the installation area is clear of any objects that might get in the way before you begin.

The most accurate way to determine whether you have hard water is to purchase a water test kit from a hardware store or send a tap water sample to a lab. But there are some signs you can look out for without professional testing. For instance, if you're consistently dealing with mineral stains on your glassware, windows, and shower doors, you're likely to have hard water. Hard water can also make it harder to lather and rinse soap, so if you're struggling to work up a good lather in the shower, hard water might be the culprit.

Yes, it’s fine to drink softened water. However, if you follow a low-sodium diet or have high blood pressure or sodium-related health concerns, make sure to speak with your doctor beforehand. If they advise against drinking water that’s been softened with sodium, you might be able to use potassium in your water softener instead.

Whether or not your water softener installation requires a permit depends on where you live; some municipalities only let certified plumbers and electricians pull the necessary permits and complete the work, others only require a professional to sign off on the work, and some don’t mandate permits at all. You can contact your local building department to find out, but you can also ask a local water softener installer or plumber to see if a permit is necessary. They will usually pull the permits for you and can help close them out after the work is complete.
