Selma is a town where most of the housing stock has been standing long enough to have stories in its walls, and those stories often involve plumbing that has been patched, rerouted, or left alone longer than it should have been. Older homes on original supply lines, additions built without drawings anyone can find, and crawl spaces that have seen more moisture than their owners realize: these are the situations that come up most often when somebody in Selma calls about a plumbing problem. We handle all of it, from a faucet that will not stop dripping to a main line that has stopped moving water entirely.
Rental properties and smaller commercial spaces in a town this size have their own rhythm. A landlord managing a few units needs a plumber who can get in, scope the problem, and give a clear price without a lot of back and forth. A small business that depends on running water cannot wait days for a callback. We take calls every day from 7:00 AM to 10:30 PM, and when you call, the person on the phone knows the trade and can scope the job before anyone is dispatched.
A water heater that is rumbling, taking longer to recover, or producing water that is not as hot as it used to be is usually telling you something before it fails completely. We diagnose what is happening on the visit and explain whether the repair makes sense or whether replacement is the cleaner answer. That conversation happens before any work starts, so you know what you are getting into.
Switching from a tank unit to a tankless system changes how the supply line, the gas line, and the venting all need to be configured. The installation is not complicated, but it has to be done to code and sized correctly for the demand in the house. We handle the full hookup and walk you through what the job involves when you call.
Running out of hot water partway through a shower, or getting hot water from one fixture but not another, usually points to a specific component rather than a full system failure. A faulty heating element, a thermostat that has drifted out of range, or sediment that has built up inside the tank are the common causes. We find the source and repair or replace what needs to come out.
A water bill that has climbed without any change in usage, a damp smell in a room that stays dry, or a soft spot in the floor are all worth calling about. Leaks behind drywall or under a slab can run for a long time before they surface, and the longer they run, the more damage they do. We use pressure testing and electronic detection to locate the source before anything is opened up, which keeps the repair focused and the disruption small.
Johnston County's soils hold water, and a crawl space that looks dry in summer can take on moisture fast during a heavy rain. A sump pump that is sized right and installed correctly moves that water away from the foundation before it becomes a problem. We install new pumps, replace units that have stopped keeping up, and repair pumps that are running but not doing the job they should.
The price for a job is set on the call, before anyone is dispatched and before anything is scheduled. We ask about what you are seeing, where the problem is, and how long it has been going on. That is usually enough to give you a number and explain what it covers.
What changes a quote is what the job turns out to actually involve once the work starts. A drain that clears easily is one price. A drain that has root intrusion twenty feet down the line is a different job. A faucet replacement that goes smoothly is one scope. A faucet replacement where the shutoff valve behind it is corroded and needs to come out first adds a step. We explain any change in scope before we proceed, so you are never handed a number you did not agree to.
There is no diagnostic fee charged separately from the repair quote. You get the price on the call, and if anything changes on site, you hear about it before the work continues.
Call (984) 249-2959 and we will work through the details with you.
Appliance hookups look simple from the outside, but a connection that is not seated correctly, a supply line that is the wrong length for the installation, or a drain that is not looped properly can cause a slow leak that goes unnoticed for weeks. By the time the water shows up somewhere visible, the damage behind the cabinet or under the floor has already been done. We handle the full hookup from the supply valve through the drain connection, and we check the installation before we leave.
A gas range, a dryer, or a water heater that runs on gas needs a supply line that is the right size for the appliance's demand and connected without a leak at any joint. We handle gas line installation and repair on the supply side, which is the line that runs to the appliance. The appliance itself is a separate trade. If you are adding an appliance in a spot that does not currently have a gas connection, we run the line and confirm it is holding pressure before the appliance goes in. The specifics for a job like this are on the plumbing repair services page.
For scheduled repairs and installations, calling a day or two ahead is usually enough to get on the calendar. We confirm the scope and the price on that first call, so when the appointment comes, the work can start without a second round of questions.
For problems that will not keep, we take urgent calls every day from 7:00 AM to 10:30 PM. A burst pipe, a major leak, or a water heater that has failed completely are the situations where we work to get a visit scheduled as quickly as the calendar allows. We confirm what is available when you call rather than promising a window in advance.
For tenants and businesses that need to stay operational, we work around the schedule. A rental unit with a clogged main line needs the work done without pulling the tenant out for a full day. A small business with a single bathroom cannot close it down for hours without consequences. We scope those jobs on the call with the access and timing constraints in mind, and we plan the work around what the property actually needs.
Local work. Sound pipes. Costs set out on the call.
There is a point in an older home when patching individual leaks stops making sense. When the supply lines are original galvanized steel and the leaks are showing up in different spots every few months, the pipe itself is the problem. Repiping replaces the supply lines end to end, which removes the cycle of repairs and puts the whole system on a clean footing.
A job like that is staged so the house stays livable through most of it. Water is off for the sections being worked, then restored before the crew leaves each day. The full scope depends on the size of the house, how accessible the lines are, and whether the work is limited to the supply side or also involves drain lines that have deteriorated. We walk through all of that on the scheduling call before anything starts.
A running toilet can waste more water than a dripping faucet, and a failing supply line wastes more than either. Getting ahead of it before a line fails completely is almost always the less disruptive path. We show up ready to get to work.

Older homes in this part of Johnston County often have original supply lines that have corroded over time, drain lines that have shifted or cracked, and shutoff valves that have not been exercised in years and will not fully close. Root intrusion in sewer lines is also common where the tree canopy has had decades to establish. We assess what we are dealing with on the visit and explain the options before any work starts.
