In addition to unstopping drains and installing bathroom fixtures, your plumber can hook up washing machines, dishwashers and gas appliances. He or she can also install gas lines and shut-off valves, add drains for HVAC units, install water-based heating systems and install storm drains.
When you are choosing your plumber, get several estimates. Once you have narrowed the field, ask these questions:
-How long has he been in business and what is his plumbing specialty?
-Is he experienced with your type of project?
-Can he supply copies of licensing, liability insurance, worker’s comp insurance, and bonding?
-What warranties does he offer?
-What references can he provide? In addition to asking about work quality, make sure the plumber was tidy and respectful of the work environment.

The eastern end of North Carolina juts out from the East Coast of the United States into the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf Stream, making the state prone to Atlantic hurricanes, which tend to strike the state every three to four years. Running along the entire coast of North Carolina, serving as a buffer against the Atlantic, is a long chain of barrier islands (the Outer Banks), with constantly shifting sand dunes, from which project three famous capes—Hatteras, Lookout, and Fear. Between the islands and the shoreline stretch lagoons—Albemarle Sound and Pamlico Sound are the largest—that receive the Chowan, Roanoke, Tar, Neuse, and Cape Fear rivers. Wilmington, the chief port, is at the head of the Cape Fear estuary. The mainland bordering the sounds is low, flat tidewater country, often swampy, even beyond the Dismal Swamp in the north. In the upper coastal plain the land rises gradually from the tidewater, reaching 500 ft (152 m) at the fall line.
