Modern plumbing helped cap off our irrigation system. They were easy to work with. Nathan did a great job. I was referred by neighbors and will refer them to others. Will definitely use again for our plumbing needs.
Response from the owner:Kelly — thank you! Capping off an irrigation line means properly taking the backflow assembly offline too, so it's done right and stays code-compliant — glad it went smoothly. Neighbor referrals mean everything to us, and we're proud to serve homeowners across Apex, Cary, Holly Springs, and the wider Triangle. Whenever a plumbing or backflow need comes up, we're a licensed pro a phone call away. — Brian, Modern Plumbing & Backflow
I was very happy and lucky to be helped by Kaleb today after find out my shower cartridge might have some issue since it cannot turn back to original position. He is very professional and informative and helped us identified the issue. 10/10 recommending this place!
Response from the owner:Joey, thank you so much, that 10/10 really means a lot to us. A shower cartridge that won't turn back to where it should is one of those things people live with way too long, so I'm glad we caught it and got you sorted out the same day. We take care of folks all over the Triangle, from North Hills and Five Points here in Raleigh to Preston over in Cary and the Heritage area in Wake Forest. Anytime something comes up, you've got a licensed plumber you can just pick up the phone and call. Thanks again. — Brian
I’m so impressed how efficient and professional they are. We need to replace our kitchen faucet on a Saturday and called them last minute, they were able to come in and get it fixed on the same day. Price is reasonable too.
Response from the owner:Jincheng, thank you, this made our day. A kitchen faucet going out on a Saturday is the kind of thing that can wreck a whole weekend, so I'm really glad we could get a tech out and knock it out same-day for you. That's what we try to do, weekend or not. We look after folks all across the Triangle, from the Trinity Park and Hope Valley areas in Durham to Southern Village in Chapel Hill and out toward Morrisville. Call us anytime you need a licensed plumber in your corner. Thanks again. — The Modern Plumbing & Backflow Team, Triangle / Raleigh-Durham
I had two young gentlemen come to my home today from modern plumbing to repair my water heater that was not heating to the correct temperature.

I’m most happy with the work plumber Nate and his asst Tim did to replace my water heater. It was rusted, leaking, and needed to be replaced. They had everything they needed to finish the job including new pressure regulator and pad to bring us up to code. They arrived on time and completed the job in under 3 hrs. Very pleased with their work.
Response from the owner:Alan, thank you for the detailed write-up — and for the photos. A rusted, leaking water heater isn't something to sit on, so we're glad we could swap it out, add the new pressure regulator, and bring everything up to code in under three hours. From Cary to Apex to Holly Springs, that's the code-compliant work Triangle homeowners count on from a fully licensed NC plumbing team.

Modern Plumbing & Backflow, sent their technician, Nate, over to replace our hot water heater. Nate was extremely professional, knowledgeable and courteous. He answered all my questions and gave suggestions on how to increase the longevity of our hot water heater. I would definitely recommend Modern Plumbing and ask for Nate. Thanks for everything Nate!
Response from the owner:Michael, thank you for the kind words and the recommendation — that means a lot. Replacing a hot water heater is one thing; taking the time to answer your questions and show you how to get more years out of it is the standard we hold every crew to. One of the best ways to protect that investment is an annual water heater flush — it clears sediment and adds real life to the tank, and it's something we'd be glad to keep you on track with. From Brier Creek to Morrisville to Fuquay-Varina, that's the kind of water heater care homeowners across the Triangle count on from our family-owned team. Call us anytime!
— The Crew at Modern Plumbing & Backflow
Absolutely wonderful. Very good customer service
Response from the owner:Crystal, thank you so much — "wonderful" is exactly what we hope every customer feels when we leave. Great service on a water heater installation isn't just the install itself; it's how you're treated start to finish, and we're glad that came through. From Wendell to Zebulon to Clayton, that's the experience homeowners across the Triangle count on from our family-owned team. We're a call away anytime you need us!

Tom did an excellent job on the new faucets (4) and they look great I would highly recommend modern plumbing
Response from the owner:Greg, thank you for the recommendation — and for the photo. Four new faucets is a solid little upgrade, and they came out clean and crisp. We're glad you're happy with how they turned out. From Rolesville to Youngsville to North Raleigh, that kind of fixture work is everyday business for our family-owned crew — and a recommendation from you means a lot. We're here whenever the next project comes up!— The Modern Plumbing & Backflow Team

Modern plumbing did a great job with our water heater install. Being on the progress energy water heater warranty program the only negative is having to wait on their approval for a new tank, that was out of modern plumbings control.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the great review! We're glad the water heater installation went smoothly for you. You nailed the one tricky part — when a tank's covered under the Progress Energy warranty program, the approval timeline is on their end, not ours, so we appreciate you noting that the wait was out of our hands. We'll always move as fast as the program lets us. From Apex to Cary to Holly Springs, that's the kind of straight-shooting water heater work our family-owned crew brings across the Triangle. Call us anytime!

Very professional. Nate explained to me the entire process of taking out and replacing the water heater. My warranty was also explained to me.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Ida!

Jacob and Cameron were awesome, they texted 20-30 mins before they arrived to replace my hot water heater and they did a very fast, and efficient installation. They were friendly and talked in words I understood.
Also I used the Insurance plan from Duke Energy and Kelly handle everything efficiently and friendly also. Thank you guys so much and as a homeowner I will definitely be calling you guys again if anything happens.
Response from the owner:Robin, thank you — this made our day! Jacob and Cameron will love hearing it, and we're so glad they texted ahead before arriving and explained everything in plain English — no confusing jargon, just a fast, clean water heater replacement. A special shout-out to Kelly too, who lives for making the Duke Energy insurance side painless so you don't have to lift a finger. Handling the insurance and the install together is exactly how it should be. From Oakwood to Hayes Barton and Mordecai, thank you for trusting us with your home — we'll be here when you need us again! — Team Modern Plumbing and Backflow
