Charlotte's Go-To Plumber for Fast Repairs

Pre-war Charlotte homes

Galvanised supply. Decades of internal corrosion closing the bore. Pressure has been getting worse so gradually that people stop noticing. Replacing it is transformative and there is no smaller fix.

Cast-iron waste. Thinning from the bottom of horizontal runs. A camera shows what is left; repeated patching on a run that is genuinely finished is throwing money away.

Clay laterals and the tree canopy. Dilworth, Myers Park, Elizabeth and Plaza Midwood have some of the biggest street trees in the city, and their roots have found the joints. Camera, locate, spot repair — before it is a backup into a finished basement.

South End and newer builds

Completely different: workmanship faults rather than wear, shared-wall leaks in mid-rise buildings, and tankless units that were undersized or given a gas supply that cannot feed them.

Renovated houses

Expect mixed materials and at least one modification that would not pass today. We correct rather than build on top of it.

What the housing here is like

The oldest housing in the metro. Pre-war bungalows in Dilworth, Elizabeth and Plaza Midwood with original cast iron, galvanised supply and clay laterals — next to dense new mid-rise in South End.
