Apex has grown enormously since the late 1990s, and neighborhoods like Scotts Mill, Haddon Hall, Bella Casa and Beaver Creek are full of homes that are now 15 to 25 years old. That’s right where original water heaters reach the end of their life, plastic fill valves and supply lines crack, and builder-grade faucets start to drip. A lot of our Apex work is replacing those first-generation parts before they fail on you.
Many homes here were plumbed with PEX or CPVC rather than copper. Both are good materials, but fittings and crimp connections can weep over time, especially where water pressure runs high. A properly working pressure-reducing valve protects all of it, so we check pressure on almost every Apex visit.
Around downtown Apex and Salem Street, the homes are older and the work looks more like Chapel Hill or Durham — older drain lines and supply pipe. Apex homes are on Town of Apex water and sewer, and wherever you are in town, you’ll get the price before we start.
Common plumbing problems in Apex
Original water heaters at end of life
Tanks installed in the 2000s are commonly 15+ years old now. We replace them before they leak into the garage.
PEX and CPVC fitting leaks
Connections can weep with age and high pressure. We repair fittings and check the whole system.
High water pressure
A failed pressure-reducing valve shortens the life of every fixture and appliance. We test and replace them.
Builder-grade fixtures wearing out
Dripping faucets, running toilets and failing shower valves — upgraded with fixtures that last.

Apex plumbing FAQs
How old is too old for a water heater in Apex?
Most tank water heaters last about 8–12 years. Many Apex homes built in the 2000s still have the original tank, so if yours is past ten years, it’s worth planning a replacement before it leaks.
Do you offer same-day service in Apex?
Yes, 7am–11pm every day for most calls. Call (919) 804-0712.
Why is my Apex home’s water pressure so high?
Usually a pressure-reducing valve that has failed or was never adjusted. High pressure wears out fixtures and fittings, so we test it and replace the valve if needed.
