When something breaks in an Angier home, close the main shutoff before you do anything else, and if you smell gas, get outdoors and call 911 or Piedmont Natural Gas. Once that's done, call the number on this page to be connected with a local plumber in Angier.
Signs it's time to call
- Water flowing from a pipe, valve or fixture that you can't stop at the fixture
- Toilets bubbling or drains backing up in more than one room
- Water on the floor around the water heater
- A sudden drop to no pressure at all
- A wet patch on the ceiling under a bathroom
- A gas odor near the furnace, range or water heater (leave first, then call Piedmont at 800-752-7504 or 911)
How Angier's water and sewer work
The Town of Angier runs the water system, but it buys its water from Harnett Regional Water, which treats it at a Cape Fear River plant. If you live outside town in the wider 27501 ZIP, you might be a Harnett Regional Water customer or on a private well, so the bill tells you who to call about a problem at the street.
Most homes in Angier have a dual check valve in the meter box, a small backflow device that keeps household water from flowing back into the town's lines. It also means water can't drain back toward the street, so pressure can build in a closed system if a water heater's expansion tank or relief valve isn't working.
Angier's sewer is collected by the town and treated by Harnett County. A backup in one house is usually a private clog; a backup across a whole street is a public problem for the town.
About 31% of Angier's homes were built before 1980, an older mix than nearby Holly Springs or Fuquay-Varina. In the older core along Raleigh Street and Depot Street, expect original valves and drain lines that may not handle a sudden repair well.
Factors that affect the cost
- Nights, weekends and holidays
- Access through crawl spaces, finished walls or slab floors
- Whether a corroded valve or fitting has to be cut out and replaced
- Any permit needed for follow-up work through Angier Planning and Inspections, which schedules inspections by phone
