A burst pipe can’t wait.
Neither do we.
Wrench & Water is a plumbing crew for Raleigh, Durham, Cary and Apex. Leaks, clogs, water heaters and the pipes nobody sees — fixed, tested, and explained in plain words.
What we fix
Six jobs, done properly.
Every job starts with a look and a straight answer.
Drain cleaning
Slow sinks, gurgling tubs and drains that back up after rain. We clear the blockage and check the line so it stays clear.
Water heaters
No hot water, rusty water, or a tank that rumbles. Repair, replacement and tankless installs, with the old unit hauled away.
Fixture installs
Faucets, toilets, showers and disposals — fitted neatly, sealed properly, and tested before we leave the room.
Repiping
Old galvanized or pinhole-prone copper lines replaced in sections or whole-house, with water back on the same day wherever the job allows.
Sewer & main lines
Camera inspection, root removal and line repair for the pipe between your house and the street — the one nobody thinks about until it fails.

Why call us
Three things you can hold us to.
Price before work
You hear the price, then you decide. Nothing starts while the number is still a surprise.
We show our work
Before and after, in your own home: the old part, the new part, and the water running. If we cannot show it, we say so.
We clean up
Drop cloths down, tools away, floor wiped. A plumbing visit should leave water in the pipes, not on your floor.
How it works
From panic to dry floor in four steps.

We fix it and test it

You get it in writing
A written note of the work done and the parts used, so the next plumber — us or anyone else — knows exactly what happened.
Word of mouth
What neighbours say.
“The kitchen sink backed up the night before a family dinner. They talked me through shutting the water off on the phone, then came out and had it draining again before lunch.”
“Our water heater died on a cold morning. They explained the repair-versus-replace choice in plain words and let me decide — no pressure, no jargon.”
“A pinhole leak had been staining the ceiling for weeks. They found it, fixed it, and patched the drywall cut so neatly I had to look twice to find it.”
Questions
Before you call.
What should I do first if a pipe bursts?
Shut off the water at the main valve — usually near the street or where the line enters the house — then call us. Move anything valuable off the floor and do not touch any electrical outlet that got wet.
Do you charge to come out and look?
A plumber would quote a call-out fee up front; the price is always agreed before work starts, never after.
Can you fix a leak without tearing the wall open?
Often, yes — many leaks sit at a visible joint or fixture. When the leak is inside a wall, a small opening is sometimes the only honest way to reach it, and we explain that before cutting anything.
Which areas do you serve?
Raleigh, Durham, Cary and Apex, North Carolina. If you are just outside those towns, ask anyway — our route covers nearby homes when it allows.
Do you install fixtures I bought myself?
Yes — bring the box, keep the receipt, and we fit it. If a part turns out to be wrong for your pipes, we tell you before installing rather than forcing it to fit.
