The pro near Durham.

NC

For the leak, the no-heat morning, the roof that started dripping at 9pm: call (877) 454-8068. The desk is open 7am–10pm ET, every day. Tell us what is happening and where.

Only about three in ten Durham homes predate 1980, and the median build year is 1995, so the typical call involves systems younger than the city's reputation for old housing might suggest. Still, the older core has its own issues: clay soil that shifts with moisture, occasional freezes that catch exposed pipes, and storm-season drainage. Summer humidity is hard on cooling equipment and wood. The city's 16 ZIP codes cover a wide spread of housing types and ages.

What that means for a call

Durham's housing dates to 1995 at the median, with about 30% before 1980. The local winter is mostly mild, which is exactly why a short freeze can catch exposed plumbing. Know where the main valve is and disconnect garden hoses before the first cold night.

Local watch-outs

  • A hard freeze is occasional here, which is exactly when exposed pipes catch people out. Find the main shutoff now, before you need it.
  • Keep gutters and downspouts clear before storm season. If water reaches an outlet or a panel, stop and call an electrician rather than resetting the breaker.
  • Pool pumps and heaters work harder in a long hot season. Know the breaker and the shutoff before a problem, and keep the equipment pad clear.
