All-Boro Plumbing and Sewer has been serving Fuquay-Varina and the surrounding Wake County area since 2016. Whether you have a dripping faucet that has been keeping you up at night or a sewer line that needs attention before it becomes a bigger problem, we are the local team that shows up ready to work. We treat your home and its pipes the way we would our own, and that is the standard every job is held to. Call us and a real local person picks up.
Experienced plumbers. Code-compliant work. Professional service.
Whether this is your first plumbing repair or your tenth, you deserve a crew that arrives prepared and gets it done correctly. We handle the full range of residential and commercial plumbing work, from routine repairs to full-scale installations, and every job is performed by licensed plumbers who know what they are doing.
A leaking pipe, a failing water heater, a drain that will not clear, a toilet that runs all night. These are not problems you should have to live with. We diagnose the issue, explain what needs to happen, and get to work. No guesswork, no unnecessary upsells.
Reach out and a plumber will follow up.
No matter what is going wrong with your pipes, we have the tools and the experience to take care of it. Below is a look at the core services we provide for homes, rental properties, and commercial buildings across the region.
Slow drains and blockages are some of the most common calls we receive. Grease buildup, hair, soap residue, and debris all accumulate over time and eventually stop flow entirely. We clear clogs in kitchen sinks, bathroom drains, floor drains, and main lines using professional equipment that gets the job done thoroughly. When you call, we assess the blockage, clear it, and let you know if there is an underlying issue worth addressing.
Hidden leaks cause water damage fast, and they are not always easy to find. We use proven detection methods to locate leaks behind walls, under slabs, and along supply and drain lines without tearing apart more of your home than necessary. Once we find the source, we repair or replace the damaged section and make sure the fix holds. Burst pipes and urgent leaks get priority attention.
No hot water is a problem that needs solving today, not next week. We service and replace both tank and tankless water heaters. If your unit is struggling but still has life in it, we will tell you honestly. If it is time for a replacement, we will walk you through the options and get the new unit installed and running. Same-day availability means you are not waiting long to get back to normal.
We take pride in the plumbing work we leave behind, and that includes the smaller jobs that still matter. Running toilets, clogged toilets, toilet replacements, dripping faucets, leaking outdoor faucets, hose bib replacements, and full fixture installations are all in our wheelhouse. Landlords and property managers call us regularly for this kind of work because we handle it efficiently and leave the unit ready to go.
When the main line that runs from your home to the city connection backs up or breaks down, everything downstream is affected. We clear blockages, inspect lines, and repair or replace damaged sections as needed. We work on the line itself, from the house out to the connection point, and we keep that scope clear and honest.
Low water pressure can point to a number of issues, from mineral buildup to a failing pressure regulator or a partially closed shutoff valve. We diagnose and fix water pressure problems quickly. We also install, repair, and replace garbage disposals and shutoff valves throughout the home. These are jobs that seem minor until they are not, and we handle them without making you wait.
Older homes with galvanized steel, polybutylene, or deteriorating copper pipe eventually reach the point where patching is no longer the right answer. When that conversation comes up, we walk through the scope honestly. Whole-home repiping is a significant job, but it eliminates recurring leaks, improves water pressure, and protects the home long term. We handle the full project from start to finish.
We work on gas supply lines that run to appliances such as water heaters, ranges, and dryers. If you suspect a gas line issue, do not wait. We also handle slab leak detection and repair, backflow prevention device service, and plumbing response to water damage situations. Every call stays on the plumbing side of the work, and we are clear about where our scope begins and ends.
Staying ahead of plumbing problems keeps your home dry, your tenants comfortable, and your business running without interruption. We work with all of them: homeowners dealing with a sudden repair, landlords managing a rental unit, property managers overseeing multiple buildings, and commercial clients who need reliable service on a schedule that works for their operation.
For residential customers, we focus on getting the problem solved with as little disruption to your day as possible. For property managers and commercial accounts, we understand that response time and clear communication matter. We show up on time and ready to work, and we keep you informed through the job.
Leave the leak to us.
Before a small leak turns into water damage, a bathroom remodel or kitchen renovation is the right time to get the plumbing right from the start. We work alongside contractors and homeowners on renovation projects, handling rough-in work, fixture installation, and supply and drain line routing for new layouts. We also support new construction builds in the area, bringing the same attention to detail to a brand-new home as we do to an established one. If you have a project coming up, call early so we can plan around your timeline.
Wake County's mix of established neighborhoods, clay-heavy soils, seasonal rainfall, and rapid new construction creates a specific set of plumbing demands that we see regularly. The older housing stock in parts of Fuquay-Varina brings aging pipe and root intrusion into the picture. The newer subdivisions bring their own installation and service needs. And the regional water quality and weather patterns make certain services come up again and again. Here are three we handle often.
Low-lying lots and crawl spaces across Wake County collect moisture, especially during heavy seasonal rain events. A properly installed sump pump with a reliable float switch and a correctly routed discharge line keeps that moisture from becoming a water damage problem. We install new systems, replace failing units, and repair pumps that are not cycling correctly. If your crawl space or basement has had standing water issues, this is a conversation worth having.
Fuquay-Varina's mature neighborhoods come with mature trees, and those roots find their way into older clay and cast-iron sewer lines over time. Root intrusion causes slow drainage, backups, and eventually line failure if it goes unaddressed. We clear root blockages, run camera inspections to assess the condition of the line, and repair or replace sections that have been compromised. Catching this early saves a significant amount of work later.
The water in this part of North Carolina carries enough mineral content to leave buildup on fixtures, shorten the life of water heaters, and gradually affect pipe interiors. A whole-home water softener connects to the main supply line and conditions water before it reaches your fixtures and appliances. We handle the full installation, from tying into the supply line to getting the system dialed in. If you have noticed scale buildup or your water heater is working harder than it should, a softener is worth considering.
The hardest part of a plumbing problem is knowing when to call, and a burst pipe, a major leak, or a backed-up main line is not a situation that can wait until Monday morning. We take emergency calls and work to get a plumber to you as quickly as possible. Weekends, after hours, and urgent same-day situations are all part of what we do.
Same-day service. Upfront pricing. Licensed plumbers.
When something goes wrong and you need someone at the door fast, call us directly. Call today and we will lock in your appointment.
The plumbing done right the first time is worth paying for, and we think you deserve to know what you are paying before work begins. We provide clear estimates before we start, so there are no surprises when the job is done. Pricing varies based on the scope of work, the materials involved, and the time required, and we will walk you through all of it.
We do not pad quotes or recommend work that is not necessary. If the repair is straightforward, we say so. If the situation calls for a larger fix, we explain why and let you make an informed decision. Call for a quote and we will give you a straight answer.
We are based in Fuquay-Varina and serve customers throughout Wake County and the surrounding area. Whether you are in town or a few miles out, we are familiar with the neighborhoods, the housing stock, and the local conditions that affect plumbing in this part of North Carolina.
Our service area includes:
If you are nearby and need a plumber, give us a call. Locally owned and personally accountable, we have been building our reputation in this community since 2016 and plan to keep doing it one job at a time.
A sewer smell coming from drains or fixtures typically points to a dried-out P-trap, a cracked or deteriorating vent pipe, or a blockage somewhere in the drain system. In some cases it can indicate a more serious issue with the main sewer line. It is worth having a plumber take a look before the underlying cause gets worse.
We look at the condition of the tank or unit, the anode rod, the pressure relief valve, the connections at the inlet and outlet, and the burner or heating element depending on the type of unit. We also check for sediment buildup, which is a common cause of reduced efficiency and noise. After the inspection, we give you a clear picture of whether repair or replacement makes more sense.
A water heater that is struggling works harder than it should, which drives up energy use and puts stress on connected supply lines and valves. Sediment buildup can reduce hot water output and cause the unit to cycle more frequently. Catching a failing water heater before it fails completely avoids the disruption of a sudden no-hot-water situation.
A targeted repair makes sense when the problem is isolated to one section and the surrounding pipe is in good condition. When leaks keep appearing in different spots, when water pressure is consistently low throughout the home, or when the pipe material itself is the issue (such as older galvanized steel or polybutylene), a full or partial repipe is usually the more practical long-term answer. We walk you through the options honestly based on what we find.
We start by diagnosing the actual problem rather than assuming. That might mean running a camera through a sewer line, using leak detection equipment to find a hidden source, or simply inspecting the visible plumbing to understand what is going on. Once we know what we are dealing with, we explain the options and recommend what makes sense given the condition of the system and the customer's goals.
Yes. If something we repaired or installed does not hold, we come back and make it right. We do not consider a job finished until it is working the way it should. Licensed plumbers perform every job, and we hold the work to a standard we are willing to put our name on.
A drain snake mechanically breaks up or pulls out a blockage and works well for most common clogs. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to thoroughly clean the inside of the pipe and is more effective for grease buildup, root intrusion, or blockages that keep coming back. We assess the situation first and use the method that actually solves the problem rather than defaulting to one approach for every call.
A repair that skips proper diagnosis, uses undersized materials, or ignores an underlying cause will fail again sooner than a job done correctly. When a plumber patches a symptom without addressing the source, the customer ends up paying for the same problem twice. We take the time to do the job right the first time because repeat calls are not good for anyone.
When we open up a wall or access older plumbing during a repair or replacement, we work to bring the affected section up to current code requirements. We explain any code-related work before we do it so you understand what is involved and why. Licensed plumbers handle all of it, and the work is done to meet local North Carolina requirements.
We run a small camera through the line from an accessible cleanout or drain opening and view the interior of the pipe in real time. This lets us see blockages, root intrusion, cracks, offset joints, and other conditions that are not visible from the outside. It is one of the most useful diagnostic tools we have for sewer line problems, and it helps us recommend the right fix rather than guessing.
We handle outdoor plumbing including hose bib replacement, outdoor shutoff valves, main water line repair and replacement, and sewer line work from the house out to the connection point. Exterior work follows the same process as interior work: we assess, explain, estimate, and get your approval before starting.
All-Boro Plumbing and Sewer is ready to help with whatever your plumbing situation looks like, from a single faucet repair to a full repipe. Experienced plumbers. Code-compliant work. Professional service.

Every job is performed by licensed plumbers, and we give you a clear estimate before any work begins. The table below covers what each service includes, who it is best for, and a practical note to help you decide when to call. If you have questions about your specific situation, the fastest answer is a phone call.
| Plumbing Service | What the Job Covers | Best For | Worth Knowing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Garbage Disposal Service | disposal repair, full disposal replacement, under-sink leak repair | homeowners with a disposal that has stopped working, is leaking, or is making unusual sounds | We carry parts for the most common disposal models and can often complete the repair or replacement in a single visit. |
| Water Heater Repair and Replacement | tank water heater repair and replacement, tankless water heater installation, no-hot-water emergency calls | households and businesses without reliable hot water or with an aging unit | Most tank water heaters last 8 to 12 years. If yours is making noise or struggling to keep up, a replacement often costs less over time than repeated repairs. |
| Tree-Root Sewer Line Service | root blockage clearing, hydro jetting and snaking, sewer line repair or replacement | properties with mature trees near sewer lines or a history of recurring main line clogs | Roots enter through small cracks and grow over time. Catching the problem early usually means a cleaning rather than a full line replacement. |
| Drain Cleaning and Clog Removal | kitchen and bathroom drains, shower and floor drains, drain snaking and hydro jetting | homeowners and landlords dealing with slow or blocked drains | Recurring clogs in the same drain often point to a deeper issue in the line rather than a surface blockage. |
| Toilet Repair and Installation | running and leaking toilet repair, full toilet replacement, flapper and fill valve service | homeowners with a constantly running toilet or a unit that no longer flushes reliably | A running toilet can waste hundreds of gallons of water a week, so even a small repair pays for itself quickly. |
| Leak Detection and Repair | hidden and slab leak location, pipe leak repair, main water line repair | anyone noticing unexplained water stains, high bills, or damp walls | Finding a leak early keeps repair costs manageable and prevents long-term structural water damage. |
| Whole-Home Repiping | full supply line replacement, aging or corroded pipe removal, material upgrade to modern pipe | older homes with galvanized or polybutylene pipe, or properties with recurring leaks throughout | Repiping is a significant job, but it eliminates a pattern of repeat leaks and restores consistent pressure and water quality throughout the home. |
| Slab Leak Detection and Repair | under-slab leak location, non-invasive detection methods, pipe repair or reroute | homeowners noticing warm spots on floors, unexplained water bills, or cracks in the slab | Slab leaks can go undetected for months. Early detection limits the amount of concrete work involved in the repair. |
| Sump Pump Installation | new sump pump installation, failed unit replacement, crawl space and basement drainage | homes in areas with clay soils or low-lying lots that collect water after heavy rain | Wake County's clay soils hold water longer than sandy soil, which increases the risk of foundation and crawl space flooding during storm events. |
| Faucet and Fixture Installation | faucet repair and replacement, sink installation, full fixture swap-outs | anyone upgrading fixtures or dealing with a drip that has not stopped on its own | Dripping faucets rarely fix themselves. The internal valve or cartridge is usually the cause and is straightforward to replace. |
| Water Pressure and Shutoff Valve Repair | low water pressure diagnosis, pressure regulator service, shutoff valve repair and replacement | homes with inconsistent pressure or a shutoff valve that no longer closes fully | Low pressure throughout the home often points to a failing pressure regulator or a partially closed main valve rather than a fixture problem. |
| Emergency Plumbing | burst pipe response, major leak control, after-hours and weekend availability | any situation that cannot wait, including burst pipes, sewer backups, and no-hot-water calls | We are available seven days a week, including evenings and weekends. Urgent calls get priority scheduling. |
| Water Softener Installation | whole-home softener installation, supply line connection, hard water treatment | households dealing with mineral buildup on fixtures, faucets, or inside the water heater | Hard water shortens the life of water heaters and fixtures. A softener connected to your supply lines protects the whole system. |
| Sewer and Main Line Service | main sewer line clearing, sewer backup repair, sewer line replacement | homes or businesses with slow drains throughout the building or sewage odors | When every drain in the house backs up at once, the problem is almost always in the main line, not a single fixture. |
How do I know if my water heater needs to be repaired or replaced?
Age is the first thing we look at. A tank water heater that is more than 10 years old and showing signs of trouble, such as rust-colored water, rumbling or popping sounds, or an inability to keep up with demand, is often a better candidate for replacement than repair. Younger units with a failed heating element or a faulty thermostat are usually worth repairing. When you call, we can walk through what you are seeing and give you an honest read on which direction makes more sense for your situation.
What is the difference between a tank and a tankless water heater?
A tank water heater stores a set volume of hot water and keeps it heated continuously. A tankless unit heats water on demand as it flows through the system. Tankless units take up less space and do not run out of hot water the way a tank can during heavy use, but they have a higher upfront cost. We install and service both types and can explain which fits your household size and usage patterns when you call.
What causes drains to back up, and when is it more than just a clog?
Most individual drain clogs come from grease, soap buildup, hair, or debris that accumulates over time. Those are usually cleared with a drain snake or hydro jetting. When multiple drains in the home back up at the same time, the problem is almost always further down in the main sewer line. Tree roots, pipe settling, and grease buildup in the main line all show up as slow drains throughout the house rather than in just one fixture. That situation calls for a different approach and usually needs to be treated as an urgent call.
Same-Day and Emergency Availability
We offer same-day scheduling most days and stay available on weekends and after hours for situations that cannot wait. When you call, a real local person picks up and we work to get a plumber out to you quickly.
How does hydro jetting differ from standard drain snaking?
A drain snake breaks up or hooks a clog and pulls it out. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to scour the inside of the pipe and flush debris, grease, and root material out completely. Snaking handles most routine clogs quickly. Hydro jetting is better suited for lines with heavy buildup, recurring blockages, or root intrusion where a snake clears the immediate problem but the line fills back in over time.
How do tree roots get into a sewer line, and what can be done?
Roots follow moisture, and even a small crack or loose joint in a sewer pipe is enough of an entry point. Once inside, roots grow and branch until they restrict or completely block the line. We clear root blockages using snaking or hydro jetting depending on how severe the intrusion is. If the pipe itself is cracked or collapsed, we handle the repair or replacement. Catching it early, when the line is slow rather than fully backed up, usually keeps the scope of work smaller.
What causes low water pressure throughout the whole house?
When pressure is low at every fixture rather than just one, the cause is usually at the supply side rather than a single fixture. A failing pressure regulator is one of the most common culprits. A partially closed main shutoff valve, a corroded or undersized supply line, or a leak somewhere in the system can also reduce pressure throughout the home. We diagnose the source before recommending a fix so you are not paying to replace something that was not the problem.
Upfront Quotes With No Surprise Fees
Before any work begins, we give you a clear estimate covering labor and materials. If something changes mid-job, we tell you before we keep going. The number on the invoice matches what you agreed to.
How are hidden or under-slab leaks found without tearing up the floor?
We use pressure testing and listening equipment to locate leaks that are not visible. A slab leak often shows up as a warm spot on the floor, the sound of running water when nothing is on, or a water bill that climbs without explanation. Once we locate the leak, we can often repair or reroute the affected pipe with less concrete work than a blind excavation would require.
Do I need to be home when the plumber arrives?
Someone needs to be present to let us in and to review the estimate before work begins. We give you a clear picture of what we found and what the repair involves before we start, so having someone on-site who can make that call is important. If your schedule is complicated, just let us know when you call and we will work out the timing together.
Work Performed by Licensed Plumbers
Every job we take on is handled by licensed plumbers who know the work and stand behind it. We take pride in the plumbing we leave behind, whether it is a quick drain clearing or a full home repipe.
How does pricing work, and will I know the cost before work begins?
We give you a clear estimate before any work starts. That estimate covers the labor and materials for the job as we understand it at the start of the visit. If something changes once we are into the work, we tell you before continuing. There are no charges added to the invoice after the fact without your knowledge.
When should I call a plumber instead of trying to fix something myself?
A plunger is a reasonable first step for a single clogged drain or toilet. Beyond that, most plumbing repairs involve shutting off water supply lines, working with pipe connections, or diagnosing a problem that is not visible from the surface. Leaks, sewer backups, water heater issues, low pressure throughout the home, and anything involving the main line are all situations where calling a licensed plumber saves time and avoids the risk of making the problem worse.
Is same-day or emergency service available on weekends?
Yes. We are available seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays, and we take urgent calls outside of standard business hours. Burst pipes, major leaks, sewer backups, and no-hot-water situations get priority. When you call, we ask a few quick questions about what is happening and work to get someone out as fast as possible.
If you are not sure which service fits your situation or want a straight answer on what a job might cost, call us and we will talk through it with you.
