FAQ

  • How much does a plumber cost in Charlotte, NC?

Pricing is based on the job, but most customers in Charlotte can expect $95–$150 for diagnostics and $150–$450 for common repairs. Larger jobs (water heaters, re-pipes, sewer work) vary depending on parts, access, and code requirements. We always give upfront, written pricing before any work begins — no surprises, ever.

  • Do you offer same-day plumbing service?

Yes — most calls are completed the same day. We keep techs on standby for leaks, clogs, water heater issues, and emergencies so you don’t wait around. If we say we’re coming today, we show up today. Guaranteed.

  • Why is my water heater not working?

Most no-hot-water issues come from failed heating elements, bad igniters, scale buildup, gas supply issues, or a failing tank. Tankless heaters often need descaling. We diagnose the problem fast and explain your options clearly — repair first, replace only when needed.

  • How often should I flush or descale my tankless water heater?

Most manufacturers recommend once a year, especially in Charlotte where water hardness varies. Regular descaling keeps your tankless heater running efficiently, prevents error codes, and extends the life of the heat exchanger. Skipping it can lead to costly repairs.

  • What are the signs of a hidden water leak?

Common signs include higher water bills, warm spots on floors, wet drywall, moldy smells, or running toilets. Modern leak detection finds leaks fast without tearing up your home. The sooner you catch it, the cheaper the repair.

  • Why does my drain keep clogging?

Recurring clogs usually come from build-up, improper slope, grease, wipes, or root intrusion. A camera inspection shows the real cause so you don’t keep wasting money on temporary fixes. We clear clogs and fix what’s causing them — not just the symptom.

  • What causes low water pressure in my house?

Low pressure can come from pipe corrosion, clogged filters, PRV issues, leaks, or city supply problems. We test your system, isolate the cause, and restore normal flow quickly. A fast inspection usually solves it.

  • Should I repair or replace my water heater?

If your water heater is 8–12 years old, leaking, or constantly failing, replacement may be the smarter move. If it’s younger and the parts are good, repairs usually make more sense. We give clear options so you get the most value for your money.

  • How do I prevent my pipes from freezing?

Insulate exposed pipes, keep heat on, and let faucets drip during extreme cold. If a pipe freezes, shut the water off immediately. We offer freeze-prevention inspections to protect your home before winter hits.

  • Do you offer emergency plumbing services?

Yes — for leaks, burst pipes, sewage backups, flooding, and no-hot-water emergencies. When you call, you reach a real plumber, and we dispatch as fast as possible to protect you from damage.

  • Do you offer warranties or guarantees?

Yes. All work comes with a workmanship guarantee, and most parts include manufacturer warranties. If something isn’t right, we fix it. No stress, no hassle.

  • Can you install tankless water heaters?

Yes — we install Navien, Rinnai, Rheem, and all major brands. We also handle gas sizing, venting, permits, and full setup. You get fast hot water and lower energy bills with a professional install.

  • Why does my toilet keep running?

This usually comes from a worn flapper, faulty fill valve, or worn seals. That small running noise can waste hundreds of gallons per day. We fix this quickly and permanently.

  • Why Has My Water Bill Suddenly Increased?

A sudden spike in your water bill is almost always the sign of a hidden leak, a running toilet, or a failing pressure-reducing valve (PRV). Even small, slow leaks can waste hundreds of gallons a week and go completely unnoticed until the bill arrives.

  • How Do I Know If My Water Pressure Is Too High?

High water pressure might feel great in the shower, but it’s a silent stress for your plumbing system. Anything over 80 PSI can damage pipes, ruin fixtures, cause leaks, and shorten the life of your water heater. Most homeowners don’t realize their PRV (pressure reducing valve) is failing until something breaks.

  • Do you offer financing?

We know plumbing problems don’t always happen at the right time—and big repairs or replacements can be stressful. That’s why we’re in process of launching simple, flexible financing options to make every project easier on your budget.
