Rural Plumbing in Northwest Buncombe County
Leicester is an unincorporated community in northwest Buncombe County, a rural stretch of coves, farms and winding roads west of Weaverville. Many homes out here aren't on a town water main; they have their own well, and a lot of them have a crawl space underneath. For a plumber in Leicester, NC, that combination means a few usual suspects: Well water can carry iron or sulfur that stains fixtures and smells like rotten eggs. Pressure tanks lose their air charge and make the pump short-cycle. And pipes in a cold crawl space are the first to freeze when the temperature drops overnight.
Geek tip: if the pump clicks on every few seconds and the pressure gauge needle swings fast from low to high, the pressure tank may be waterlogged. Switch the pump off at its breaker so it doesn't wear itself out. Then give us a call.
Leicester, NC Plumber FAQs
Still have questions? Call us at (828) 344-5244 or browse our full plumbing FAQ.
Why does my well water smell like rotten eggs?
That smell usually comes from hydrogen sulfide, either in the well water itself or created inside the water heater when the anode rod reacts with the water. Hot side only? Then the water heater is the likely suspect. If you smell it on hot and cold, the water itself is the source, and a filtration system can take care of it. We'll help you sort out which.
Does a Leicester home with a damp crawl space need a sump pump?
Not always. If water collects after storms or the ground under the house stays wet, a sump pump can move that water out before it leads to rot, mold or musty smells. If it's only a bit of humidity, a different fix may make more sense, so we'll take a look first and tell you honestly.
Where is my main water shut-off valve?
On homes with a well, it's often near the pressure tank, where the water line enters the house; otherwise, check the crawl space, basement, utility room or the area near the water heater. Find it now. Tag it, and make sure it turns. If water is spraying, close it first. Then call us for emergency plumbing help, day or night.
