Questions about Raleigh
Who supplies water in Raleigh?
Raleigh's Public Utilities Department draws mostly from Falls Lake, with Lake Wheeler and Lake Benson as additional sources. Billing and water quality questions go to them. For leaks inside your home, a plumber is the right call.
Who do I call about a power outage or gas smell?
Electricity comes from Duke Energy Progress and natural gas from Enbridge Gas North Carolina, formerly PSNC Energy. Report outages to the utility. If you smell gas, leave the building first and call from outside.
Do repairs in Raleigh need a permit?
Many do, including most electrical, plumbing, heating and roofing work. Permits are handled by the Raleigh Planning and Development Department, and the pro doing the work usually pulls them.
How do I check a contractor here?
North Carolina licenses plumbing contractors through the State Board of Examiners of Plumbing, Heating and Fire Sprinkler Contractors. North Carolina licenses electrical contractors through the State Board of Examiners of Electrical Contractors, which has an online search. Ask for license or registration details and look them up before work starts.
Can I use this if I rent?
Yes, but many repairs are the landlord's responsibility. Tell your landlord in writing, and check with them before scheduling work on the building.
If you're not sure which trade fits your problem, call anyway and describe it. We'll tell you if it sounds like a job for someone else.
