Need New Plumbing in Durham?

A/C Medic installs new plumbing across Durham and the Triangle, from everyday fixtures like faucets, toilets, sinks, and garbage disposals to new water supply lines and complete whole-home repiping. Durham has trusted A/C Medic for over 20 years, and the same family-owned team now brings licensed plumbers to your installation projects, rated 4.9 stars across local reviews. We handle the whole job, from pulling the permits and installing to code to patching the walls when we’re done, and we warranty the work.

Durham’s hard water leaves mineral scale that shortens the life of valves and fixtures, and many older homes in the area still run on galvanized steel or polybutylene pipe that is well past its prime. We help you choose fixtures and pipe materials that hold up to local water. And when you’re remodeling, adding a bathroom, or replacing failing pipe, we size and route the new plumbing so it performs for the long run. Our licensed plumbers serve Durham, Chapel Hill, Carrboro, Hillsborough, Mebane, Cary, Apex, and Burlington with upfront pricing and 24/7 emergency service.

What We Install

A/C Medic installs new plumbing fixtures, water supply lines, shut-off valves, and complete whole-home repiping across Durham, matching the job to what your home actually needs, from a 30-minute faucet swap to a multi-day repipe. We connect everything to code, pressure-test it, and clean up when we’re done.

We help you choose, not just install. When you’re picking a faucet, a disposal, or pipe material for a repipe, we explain what holds up best to Durham’s hard water and your budget instead of pushing the priciest option. You get upfront, flat-rate pricing before any work starts, so the number you hear is the number you pay. For larger jobs like a whole-home repipe, financing options can keep a needed upgrade from waiting on the budget. (Replacing a water heater? That has its own page, see Water Heater Replacement.)

Plumbing Installations We Handle:

  • Fixtures & Appliances — New faucets, kitchen and bath sinks, toilets, tubs and showers, garbage disposals, and outdoor spigots and hose bibs. Installed level, sealed, and leak-tested, with the old fixture hauled away.

  • Water Lines & Shut-Off Valves — New supply lines to a fixture, refrigerator, or ice maker, plus fresh shut-off valves so you can isolate water at the fixture instead of the whole house. Small upgrades that prevent big water-damage bills later.

  • Whole-Home Reiping (PEX & Copper) — When aging galvanized, polybutylene, or pinhole-leaking copper pipe is failing throughout the house, we replace the supply lines end to end. We walk you through PEX versus copper for your home and water, pull the permits, and protect your floors and furnishings while we work. New lines are pressure-tested before we close up, we patch the walls when the job is done, and we keep your water back on by the end of each work day.

Signs It's Time to Repipe or Upgrade Your Plumbing

Failing pipes usually give you warnings first. These are the signs Durham homeowners call us about most, and catching them early keeps a planned upgrade from turning into emergency water damage.

  • Low Water Pressure Throughout the House

    When pressure is weak at every fixture, not just one, the pipes themselves are usually the cause. Galvanized steel pipe corrodes from the inside over decades, narrowing the line until flow drops everywhere.

  • Rusty, Brown, or Discolored Water 
    Discolored water, especially from the hot side, means aging galvanized or corroded pipe is shedding into your supply. It’s both a plumbing and a water-quality issue and shouldn’t wait.
  • You Have Polybutylene or Old Galvanized Pipe
    Polybutylene is known to fail without warning and is flagged by many insurers. Galvanized steel over 40 years old is on borrowed time. If your Durham home has either, plan the repipe before it fails.
  • Repeated Leaks or Rising Water Bills
    A third or fourth pipe leak in a year and a half, or a water bill that keeps climbing with no new usage, usually means the pipe is the problem, not the patch. At that point a repipe often costs less than the next round of repairs.
  • Old or Failing Fixtures
    Constantly dripping faucets, a toilet that runs, or a disposal that’s quit are smaller jobs, but the right new fixture saves water and headaches and we can usually install it in one visit.

If you notice any of these, contact A/C Medic for an honest assessment. Some installs are genuinely DIY-friendly, but anything that ties into your main supply lines, needs a permit, or has to pass inspection should go to a licensed plumber so the work is to code and your warranty stays intact.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most fixture installs are quoted as a flat rate, and A/C Medic gives you that price before any work starts. Larger jobs like a whole-home repipe are quoted after a quick on-site assessment, since the price depends on your home’s size, pipe material, and how the lines are routed. Your flat-rate quote covers the full job, including the permit, inspection, and patching the walls afterward, so there are no surprise add-ons once work starts.

Repipe cost depends mostly on home size, the number of fixtures, and whether you choose PEX or copper, so we quote it after seeing the home. Most whole-home repipes are completed in a few days, and we keep your water back on by the end of each work day. You get a flat, upfront price before we start.

Both are excellent; the right one depends on your home, water, and budget. PEX is flexible, resists corrosion and Durham’s hard water, installs faster, and costs less. Copper is rigid, time-tested, and lasts longer where it’s exposed. We walk you through the trade-offs for your specific home instead of defaulting to one.

Less than most homeowners expect. We protect your floors and furnishings, open the fewest wall sections needed to run the new lines, pressure-test the system before closing up, patch the walls afterward, and keep your water back on by the end of each day. Most repipes wrap in a few days, and we clean the work area as we go.

One isolated leak is usually a repair. A pattern points to the pipe itself: low pressure at every fixture, rusty or discolored water, repeated leaks in different spots, or known galvanized or polybutylene pipe. We assess the whole system and tell you honestly whether a repair will hold or a repipe is the smarter long-term fix.

Simple swaps like a faucet, showerhead, or garbage disposal are reasonable DIY projects for a confident homeowner. But anything that ties into your main supply lines, requires a permit, or has to pass inspection should go to a licensed plumber, both so it’s done to code and so the manufacturer and labor warranties stay valid.
