Most plumbing problems don't wait for business hours, and neither do we. Our Highlands dispatch board is staffed around the clock so a real person answers, not a voicemail.
Behind Street Wise - Plumbing is a crew of journeyman and master plumbers who've worked on everything from century-old cast iron to brand-new PEX systems. We're insured for the job, licensed in NC, and we stand behind every repair with a written warranty.
Our dispatchers know the neighborhoods of Highlands well enough to tell you roughly what's driving a call before the truck even arrives — older sections tend toward galvanized pipe issues, newer builds toward fixture and appliance connections.
Training doesn't stop after licensing. Our Highlands team runs regular refreshers on code updates, new fixture technology, and the material mix specific to Highlands, NC construction, so a repair holds up to inspection, not just to a quick test run.
A surprising number of the emergency calls we take in Highlands started as something small three or four days earlier. Here's what tends to escalate fast.
