Why You Need a Functioning Sump Pump
When heavy rains fall in Albemarle, it’s important to prevent floodwaters from entering your property. One way to do this is with a fully functioning sump pump. These systems can help prevent a plumbing emergency from occurring at your house by preventing water from flooding your property and avoiding severe damage to the flooring, walls, insulation, electrical work, and more. This wreckage can also lead to the formation of mold and mildew.
Signs You Need Professional Drain Cleaning Services
When your drains start to slow, it’s important to seek professional drain cleaning services to let the experts remove the blockages and have your pipes properly repaired. Some symptoms to watch for that can indicate you need drain cleaning services are:
- Slow drains: These can indicate a variety of problems, including a clog, narrowed pipes, or other buildups.
- Frequent clogs: If you have recurring clogs - even after you regularly clean out hair and other blockages from the pipes -- it can mean you are not successfully removing the blockage. In this case, it’s important to hire a plumber to completely remove the clog.
- Multiple clogs: If you have several clogs at the same time, it could indicate a severe blockage deep within your main line.
- Foul odor: if there are foul odors coming from your drains, it can signal a minor issue - like trapped food -- or a major issue, like a problem with a sewer line.
- Flooding: One of the worst problems associated with clogged drains is a sewage backup. If there is flooding in your basement or near a floor drain, this could indicate a clog and it may just be a matter of time before the drain stops working completely and you end up with contaminated water all over your floor.

What To Expect During Routine Water Heater Services
Experts recommend that you have your water heater serviced at least once a year to keep it working properly. During these routine services you can expect a plumber to perform the following tasks:
- Drain the basin and remove any buildup of sediment, which can create a myriad of issues if not done regularly.
- Inspect both the inside and outside of the unit for hairline cracks or signs of aging.
- Check for any cracks in the hoses.
- Inspect and change your filters when needed.

Job Locations and Reviews
Pride Plumbing was called out for a leaking and crumbling metal bathroom sink P-trap and two water shutoffs that would not close. After cutting off the water, we replaced the P-trap with a new PVC P-trap, one water shutoff with a new angle stop, and the other water shutoff with a straight stop. We then turned the water back on and tested for leaks with no further issues. We also provided a cost estimate to replace bathroom sink's faucet with either a new Delta, Olympia, or Peerless model (this would include removing the old faucet, mounting the new faucet, and replacing the hot and cold water shut-off valves and above-floor braided stainless steel water supply lines underneath the sink).
Pride Plumbing came out and provided a cost estimate to replace a 40-gallon electric A.O. Smith water heater with either a new 40-gallon electric customer-supplied model or a new 40-gallon electric Pride Plumbing supplied model (this would include removing and disposing of the old water heater after disconnecting its electrical connections and inlet and outlet water lines; installing water heater pads, the new water heater, new ball water shut-off valves, new PEX and stainless steel water supply lines to the water heater's water connections, a new brass drain valve, connecting the unit’s electrical connections (adding a Romex connector), bleeding the air out of the water lines, ensuring that the unit’s temperature and pressure (T&P) relief valve was properly vented, and setting the unit to its appropriate operating temperature).
Pride Plumbing came out and replaced a leaking 38-gallon electric American lowboy water heater with a new 38-gallon electric Rheem PROE38-S2-RH95-B lowboy model. This included removing and disposing of the old water heater; installing water heater pads, the new water heater, ball water shut-off valves, PEX and stainless steel water supply lines to the water heater connectors, a brass drain valve, bleeding the air out of the water lines, ensuring that the unit’s temperature and pressure (T&P) relief valve was properly vented, wiring the water heater's electrical connections (adding a Romex connector), and setting the unit to its appropriate operating temperature.
Pride Plumbing was called out for a slow-flushing toilet that also had a leaking water supply stop. First, after shutting off the water, we replaced the water supply stop (connecting it to the tank's existing CPVC water supply line coming up through the floor with new PEX piping and fittings) along with the tank's above-floor braided stainless steel water supply line. Next, we used a closet auger down through the toilet’s flange and cleared the blockage. Finally, we then turned the water back on and tested for leaks and proper flushing with no issues.
Pride Plumbing came out and 1) used an excavator to trench a ditch from the house to the town sewer tap to expose and remove the outside main sewer septic drain line; 2) installed a new 4-inch PVC sewer drain line (connecting it to the town's sewer tap at the edge of the property and the main drain line underneath the home) along with proper cleanouts and fittings per code; 3) installed tracer wire in the ditch along with the new sewer drain line; and 4) backfilled, tamped, and spread grass seed and straw after the work was inspected and approved by Stanly County's Inspection Department.
