Pride Plumbing was called out for a kitchen sink faucet that was leaking. We tightened the faucet's gooseneck spout and corrected the issue.
Pride Plumbing was called out for a water leak at a 40-gallon American natural gas water heater. Our inspection found that the leak was coming from the water heater's Amtrol thermal expansion tank. We cut out the old thermal expansion tank and installed a new HydraPro HPTET2 model, tying the expansion tank into the existing water supply line with new copper piping and fittings. We also provided a cost estimate to replace the water heater with a new 40-gallon natural gas model. This would include removing and disposing of the old water heater after disconnecting its electrical connections, and vent, gas, and water lines; and installing the new water heater, water and gas ball shut-off valves, new water and electrical connectors, brass drain valve, and atmospheric vent; ensuring that the unit is properly vented, lighting its pilot, and setting it to its appropriate operating temperature.
Pride Plumbing was called out for a clogged kitchen sink drain line. We used a water pressure device at a cleanout underneath the home and cleared the blockage. We tested multiple fixtures for proper drainage with no issues. We also provided a cost estimate to replace the kitchen sink's under-sink drain, P-trap, and drain line through the floor to under the house in the crawlspace, and to where it ties into the main sewer drain stack, with new PVC piping and fittings.
Pride Plumbing came out and performed the following work: 1) after using a sonar locator to locate the existing outside main water supply line, trenched a ditch from the water meter to the building to expose and remove the outside main water supply line; 2) installed two new one-inch Schedule 40 PVC pressure pipes and fittings from the water meter to the building along with installing tracer wire; 3) connected the new water lines to existing water line connections under the building, and installed two ball valve main water cutoffs in the crawlspace; 4) installed two new pressure reducing valves (PRV), ball valves, and check valves inside two new meter boxes; 5) tested the new water lines for leaks and working order; and 6) backfilled and tamped the ditch after the work was completed and approved by Moore County’s Inspection Department.
Pride Plumbing came out and inspected and tested two reduced pressure zone (RPZ) backflow assemblies - an Apollo RPLF4A inside the building and a Watts LF009M2QT outside in front of the building.

This would include performing the following work: 1) after using a sonar locator to locate the existing outside main water supply line, trench a ditch from an existing water meter to the building to expose and remove the water line; 2) install new Schedule 40 PVC pressure piping and fittings from the water meter to the building along with installing tracer wire; 3) split the line into two and connect the new water lines to existing water line connections under the building and install ball valve main water cut offs; 4) install a new pressure reducing valve (PRV), ball valve, and check valve at the water meter in the meter box; 5) test the new water line for leaks and working order; and 6) backfill and tamp the ditch after the work is completed and approved by Moore County’s inspection department.
Pride Plumbing came out and provided cost estimates to perform the following work: 1) manually remove hair from a septic tank and pump out the remaining effluence; and 2) pull and replace the sewage grinder pump along with replacing its floats, check valve, ball valve, and union and wiring it up to its control panel along with making the appropriate drain, discharge and vent pipe connections.
Pride Plumbing was called out for no water pressure in the home. Our inspection determined that the issue was being caused by a faulty pressure reducing valve (PRV) at the water meter. We replaced the PRV (attaching it to the existing black roll outside main water supply line with new PEX piping and fittings and adding a ball water shutoff valve and valve box) with a new Watts LFN45BM1-DU-PEXXPEX model. We also provided cost estimates to 1) trench a ditch from the water meter to the home and replace the black roll main outside water supply line with new black roll and PEX piping and fittings along with installing a new pressure reducing valve (PRV) and ball water shutoff valve at the water meter; and 2) replace two leaking outside hose bib spigots with new Woodford frost-free models along with tying them into the existing main water supply line underneath the home with new PEX piping and fittings and adding ball water shutoff valves.
Pride Plumbing came out and provided a cost estimate to call in our septic pumping truck, uncover the home’s septic tank, remove the lid, pump it out, clean the tank’s filter (if applicable), ensure proper drainage and flushing, reset the lid, and cover the tank back up.
Pride Plumbing came out and provided a cost estimate to go down into a pump tank and remove all the pet hair that we can and then pressure wash the tank and equipment after the hair has been removed.
Pride Plumbing was called out for a main line stoppage - the floor drains were backing up in the restrooms. Upon arrival, we opened up the manholes for the hair trap and after inspection we decided it needed to be pumped. While the pump truck was on its way, we ran a water pressure jetter device in every accessible cleanout. After that, we pumped out the sewage tanks and the sewer pump. Then, things were still backed up, so we pulled the sewage pump and found that its check valve was packed full of hair. We cut out and replaced the check valve and tested the pump for proper working order with no further issues.
Pride Plumbing was called out for water underneath a 40-gallon electric Rheem lowboy water heater. Our inspection found that the home's water pressure was too high and that the water heater's temperature and pressure (T&P) relief valve was malfunctioning. First, we addressed the water pressure issue by replacing a faulty pressure reducing valve (PRV) at the water meter (attaching it to the existing black roll outside main water supply line with new PEX piping and fittings and adding a ball water shutoff valve) with a new Watts LFN45BM1-DU-PEXXPEX model. Next, we replaced the water heater's T&P relief valve, ensuring that it was properly vented, and corrected the issue.
