Plumbing Repairs in Winston-Salem, NC

There is no good time for a plumbing issue to rear its head. It might be a faucet that drips incessantly, a drain slower than it should be or a water heater that has given up. Or it can be something more pressing: a burst pipe, a sewer backup or a leak with the potential for water damage.

Benjamin Franklin Plumbing Triad is on hand for all your plumbing in Winston-Salem and the rest of the Triad. We are here for the routine work that keeps a home in order and the bigger issues that require some attention. As a plumber, we will put you at ease by getting to the bottom of the trouble and telling you what it will take to fix it.

Plumbing Repair for the Problems Around Your Home

Every system is different, yet you see the same kinds of problems over and over. Seals give way, fixtures wear out and pipes show their age. We have the repair services to cover them, including:

  • Leaking toilets, faucets and other fixtures
  • Clogged drains and the backups that follow
  • Water pressure that is low or hard to come by
  • Supply and drain line leaks
  • Sewer line and garbage disposal issues
  • Damaged plumbing and burst pipes
  • Trouble with shutoff valves and connections
  • Detecting a leak when the source is not right in front of you

Do not assume a minor matter is as simple as it seems. A slow drain could be remedied with a little cleaning, but if several fixtures are running slow, there may be an obstruction in the sewer line. Low pressure from one faucet is often a worn part; low pressure in the whole house is another story. We prefer to establish what is wrong before we put forward any recommendation for a repair or replacement.

Drain Cleaning, Sewer Repair and Camera Inspections

You can usually clear a clog near the surface without much ado. But for recurring ones, the cause is likely grease, roots or damaged piping in the sewer. We will do an inspection to see if a drain cleaning is enough or the sewer requires more. A camera is handy for underground work since we can get a view inside the line without needlessly disturbing the property.

If you are dealing with gurgling drains or sewage coming back through a fixture, do not delay. Wastewater emergencies can render a room unusable in short order. The same applies to septic systems on properties outside municipal service; where the tank and drain field must work in concert, a drainage problem needs to be looked into properly.

Water Heater Repair and Replacement

We are frequently contacted by homeowners in Winston-Salem to sort out a hot water system that is not performing as it should. Whether the unit is on the fritz and won’t heat, is putting out lukewarm water or has developed a leak, we can usually put things right with a new heating element, valve or thermostat. Should the tank be past its prime or if continual repairs are no longer a sound investment, we will advise on a replacement.

We also install new equipment, be it a traditional tank or a tankless model where the utilities allow. We size the unit to the household for efficiency and comfort, not just capacity.

Leak Detection Before Water Damage Spreads

You will not always find a puddle to mark a leak. In some cases the problem is concealed behind a wall or under the floor, only to reveal itself as staining later on. Then there are the more subtle indications: an unaccountable spike in the water bill or the faint sound of running water with all the taps off. Those are good reasons to call us in for a detection. We prefer to put a simple plumbing matter to rest before it means you are left with damaged cabinetry or drywall at a later date.

We also know that in West Salem, Ardmore and the West End, one can be met with complications from work done by previous owners over the years. An old valve or supply line may stand in the way of a new fixture. When called for, we do not just address the symptom but look deeper into the house to see what is going on.

Repair and Installation for Residential and Commercial Plumbing

Our professionals serve both commercial and residential clients across the Triad. The nature of the job may vary from building to building but our aim does not: we find out what has failed and put in place the plumbing solutions to protect the rest of the system.
