Outer Banks Winterization Services
There is a strong misconception among home owners that winterizing your home’s water pipes when you leave your home vacant is unnecessary and a waste of time. While the winterizing process might seem like extra time and money, in reality it isn’t that difficult or expensive, and the results could save you thousands of dollars in wasted water or repairs. The repair of frozen, busted pipes are certainly more work and expense than a winterizing appointment.
Now it’s time to get all the water out, we will drain all the supply lines, and open all faucets and fixtures and blow out the supply lines. This is a process that requires an air compressor to push out any left behind water within the pipes.
• Once all the water has been removed, we will go a step further to winterize toilets and other drains with a special antifreeze solution. The antifreeze is usually pink and will go an extra step into making sure none of your home’s plumbing lines will freeze.
• We also will turn off the main circuit breaker unless owner requests heat to be left on.
• We will winterize the plumbing on the outside of your house, since these are often the source of frozen pipes due to outdoor showers and foot-washing stations. If you have a separate shut-off for external faucets, our technician will turn that off as well. We will then drain the outdoor faucets, which will release the pressure in your pipes and prevent problems during the winter.

As always, your company was quick to respond and gave top notch service. We had a leak in the kitchen. Mike determined the root of the problem and replaced the faucet before any water damage could occur!
Shane came to address the water line hot/cold issues. He talked to us to try and figure out what had happened. He was able to identify the problem and switch the water lines without ANY drywall removal or other major $$. He is an excellent communicator and takes great pride in his work to ensure customer satisfaction!

Wow, Luke and Steve came out today and did an awesome job repairing and re-piping the plumbing of my 100+ year old home, and installing an outdoor faucet where the old one has never worked. They were courteous, professional, and answered all my questions. The all day job took less than that due to their work ethic. I highly recommend Action Plumbing.

Just about as awful of a company as you can get. I had an issue with an ice machine having a hot water line pumped into it and asked these clowns to swap to a cold water line - well 6 return trips, a flood in my downstairs and Absolute Plumbing being called to fix their mess - screams avoid them at all costs. Their work is subpar and thats me being nice… AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!

Can you help me repair or replace my water heater?

We offer regular scheduled maintenance routines to keep your system performing optimally and also install tankless water heater models.
How can you help me fix my garbage disposal?
If your garbage disposal is not working, you should turn it off and disconnect the unit from the power source. Then, check the cavity for small objects or other obstacles. Check to see if the breaker is tripped, reconnect the unit, and try running the disposal again.
If these steps do not work, give us a call and we will schedule a quick inspection to tell you the condition of your unit and make recommendations on removal and installation if a new one is needed.
Are DIY plumbing fixes a bad idea?
Many times, the plumbing problems you see are only a hint of a much larger problem. If you overlook the root cause, you may be headed for a more serious issue down the road.
Sometimes DIY plumbing projects are best left to an experienced master plumber who ensures that your plumbing system is in top working condition.
Why is my water bill so high?
An unexpected increase in your water bill may be a sign that you have a water leak. Even if you do not see the leak there still may be one!
In the event of a higher than average utility bill, schedule an appointment with our plumbing team, and we can come out and check for a leak. If we do not find one you can use these tips to improve your home’s water efficiency.
How do I prevent water damage?
The best way to prevent water damage is to be on the lookout for water leaks and to receive regular maintenance of your plumbing system. As soon as you notice an issue, call us at Action Plumbing!
What should I do about a burst pipe?
As soon as you notice the burst pipe, shut off the water at the main valve and turn off electricity to avoid shock. If your home was built in the late 1970s to mid-1990s your plumbing system may be composed of polybutylene pipes that are prone to failure.
Action Plumbing can help you re-pipe your plumbing system and replace burst pipes.

Faucets leak for many reasons, but corroded gaskets, valves, and o-rings are the most common reasons. Sometimes the entire faucet may need to be replaced in which case we can help you select a fixture and install it in your home.
What can I do about clogged drains and toilets?
A drain snake could unblock just about any stubborn clogged toilet, shower or bathtub drain. You can use our instructions for snaking your drain to guide your process.

What should I do when my toilet overflows?
In the event that your toilet overflows, shut off the valve located behind the toilet. Then, clean up the water and contact us. There may be more contaminates that could cause your toilet to overflow again.
What should I do when my toilet runs until I jiggle the handle?
The handle of your toilet may be getting stuck, which leaves the flapper open. Unless the flapper is closed, the water will continue to flow. Tightening or replacing the handle may solve the issue, if not call us!
