Charlotte's housing stock presents a wide range of plumbing challenges. Older homes in Dilworth, Plaza Midwood, and Elizabeth often have cast-iron drain stacks, galvanized-steel supply lines, and clay sewer laterals installed 60 to 80 years ago. Newer homes in Ballantyne, Steele Creek, and Mint Hill face different issues. PVC drain lines in newer construction can shift as soil settles, and high-efficiency water heaters require specific venting and installation knowledge to function correctly.
Drain Cleaning and Clog Removal
A slow drain is the first sign of a developing blockage. We use HydroScrub® Jetting to clear grease, mineral scale, and root intrusion from clogged drain lines without damaging your pipes. BioChoiceES professional-grade drain cleaner is available for ongoing maintenance.
Toilet Repair and Replacement
A toilet leaking at the base is one of the most common service calls we receive from Charlotte homeowners. This type of leak typically points to a failed wax ring, loose tee bolts, or a cracked toilet flange. Left unaddressed, water seeping beneath the toilet damages your subfloor, creates mold conditions, and leads to far more expensive repairs. We diagnose the exact cause and fix it correctly the first time.
Sewer Line Repair and Replacement
Tree roots are a significant problem in Charlotte neighborhoods with mature tree canopies, including Myers Park, Eastover, and Foxcroft. Roots enter clay sewer laterals through cracked joints and grow until they completely block the line. We use sewer camera inspection to precisely locate the problem, then recommend the right solution, whether that is a spot repair, trenchless pipe lining, or a full sewer line replacement.
Hot Water Heater Repair and Replacement
Charlotte's water has a moderate mineral content that accelerates sediment buildup in water heater tanks. A water heater that is more than 10 to 12 years old, with rusty water from hot taps only, or a popping sound during heating cycles, is nearing the end of its service life. We install tank and tankless water heaters and handle all required code compliance and venting.
Leak Detection and Pipe Repair
A hidden leak inside a wall or under a slab wastes thousands of gallons before you notice it on your water bill. We use professional leak detection equipment to locate the source without unnecessary demolition.
Sump Pump Installation and Repair
Charlotte receives an average of 43 inches of rain per year, above the national average. Homes in low-lying areas of South Charlotte and near waterways benefit from a properly installed and maintained sump pump system.
