Answers to the most frequently asked plumbing questions from Durham homeowners.
A plumbing repair addresses a specific problem — a broken pipe, a failed joint, a leaking valve. Repiping replaces the entire water supply system throughout your Durham home, typically because the existing pipes are too corroded or deteriorated to repair reliably. If your Durham home experiences frequent leaks or has galvanized or polybutylene pipes, repiping may be the more cost-effective long-term solution.
Simple repairs like faucet replacement, toilet repair, or drain clearing in Durham often take 1 to 2 hours. More complex jobs like slab leak repair, water line replacement, or water heater installation typically take a half to a full day. Whole-home repiping can take 2 to 4 days. Phoenician Plumbing provides a clear time estimate before starting any job.
Your main water shutoff valve in Durham is typically located near the water meter, near the front foundation, or in the basement or utility room. Turn the valve clockwise to close it. If you cannot find your shutoff or it is stuck, call Phoenician Plumbing immediately — our emergency crew can help locate and operate the valve to stop water damage.
If you smell gas in your Durham home, do not operate any electrical switches, open flames, or appliances. Leave the building immediately, leaving doors open as you go. Call your gas utility from outside or from a neighbor, then call Phoenician Plumbing for emergency gas line inspection. Do not re-enter until a professional has cleared the property.
Chemical drain cleaners can damage older pipes in Durham homes, especially PVC, brass, or aging galvanized plumbing. The caustic chemicals can eat through pipe walls over time and are hazardous if they splash on skin or eyes. A professional drain cleaning by Phoenician Plumbing is safer, more effective, and prevents pipe damage — costing less in the long run.
Most tank water heaters last 8 to 12 years. Consider replacement when your unit is over 10 years old, produces rusty or discolored water, makes rumbling or popping noises, or requires frequent repairs. Phoenician Plumbing offers free water heater assessments to help Durham homeowners decide between repair and replacement.
