Steve’s Plumbing was started in 1988 after many years of experience before that as a professional plumber. We have the experience to tackle any problem. We treat our customers how we would like to be treated. We are on time, and take great pride in our work. We are owner operated and I do a lot of the work myself. Our customers are our greatest asset. We personally answer the phone and will return all messages. We provide fast efficient service.

"Steve has been to my house twice and has been incredibly professional, kind, and clean both times. The first time, there was a leaking bathtub in my 2nd floor bathroom and although he had to cut the ceiling in the living room, he identified the problem and fixed it quickly and cleanly. He came the second time to my house to address a non-working kitchen sink garbage disposal and did it on the day I was moving! I couldn't have been more grateful for his services that day!"

We know it’s tough to find a home services contractor you can trust. With over six decades of experience, Blanton’s is a Raleigh and Fayetteville mainstay. Known for our professional approach, quality products. and guaranteed workmanship, we’re proud to offer heating, cooling, plumbing and electric solutions that knock your socks off.

"Cancelled all services with Blanton as well as this well pitched Wow Service Plan. Was given a good pitch about services provided. However, after scheduling twice for services provided by service plan, only to have them cancelled and told need to reschedule. Today is was need to reschedule because they are anticipating (four days from now) a high volume of emergency calls due to cold weather and freezing temperatures. What cold weather? 52 and 43 at night are not freezing temps; 69 and 67 daytime are not freezing temps. So you reschedule appointments four days in advance with no actual justification or confirmation the day of of what you think might happen? Sounds more like laziness or a reason not to fulfill appointments made almost two weeks prior. Second, why have an online system that allows you to book an appointment and date but when you call to complete the appointment process, tell us that the dates that show on the calendar as “available” don’t actually mean they are available? The lady I spoke to said they are run by two different departments. Sounds like you need to update your systems and booking process that actually shows dates of availability so customers don’t waste time picking a date that isn’t actually available and waste time. Or get rid of calendar option altogether so you cannot select a date that isn’t in “real” time."

FAQs for sewer main clearing projects in Durham, NC

A plumber can clear a simple sewer pipe blockage in about an hour, but tougher clogs take several hours, and major problems can stretch into a full day. Remember that the city, not the homeowner, is responsible for the main municipal line. Your plumber will inspect the pipe, explain what’s happening, and give you a realistic timeline before the work begins.

Prevention comes down to smart use and routine care. Only flush water, approved liquids, and toilet paper—never wipes, floss, or cat litter. Toss food scraps and grease in the trash, and install strainers in drains to catch hair. Regular inspections can also help spot buildup early. Staying mindful of what goes down the drain is the easiest, least-expensive way to keep your line clear.

When hiring a sewer line company, don’t just focus on the price. Make sure the contractor is licensed, insured, and has good customer reviews. Ask for references to get a better sense of their work. It’s also a plus if they have years of experience or industry awards. Carefully review the contract and check that pricing is clear and transparent.

Sewer line cleaning keeps your entire plumbing system running smoothly. When the main line is clear, drains flow freely, toilets flush better, and unpleasant odors fade. Regular cleanings also ease strain on older pipes, helping prevent leaks and backups. Think of it as a plumbing tuneup that keeps everything connected and working efficiently while extending the life of your system.
