Local details for Rolesville

Rolesville's water and sewer come from the City of Raleigh. The town's new-residents page lists Raleigh Water's weekday emergency line, 919-996-2737, and its after-hours line, 919-829-1930, for problems on the public side. Raleigh maintains the water line up to the property line, and the owner is responsible from there to the house. Rural homes outside the service area use private wells.

Rolesville's housing is some of the newest in Wake County: the median home was built in 2013 and about 64% since 2010. That means failures here are usually supply hoses, fittings, water heaters and clogged drains rather than corroded pipe.

Building and plumbing permits, including water heater change-outs, go through Wake County Permits and Inspections, not the town. Electric service is split between Duke Energy Progress and Wake Electric, which matters if an electric water heater or well pump lost power.

While you wait

Keep the main closed and drain the lines at a low faucet
Turn off power or gas to a leaking water heater
Stop running water if drains are backing up
Take photos for insurance
Open the garage or gate so the plumber can reach the main

In many newer Rolesville homes, the main shutoff is in the garage, near the water heater, or in a closet on the wall facing the street. If you can't find it, the valve in the meter box at the curb also works, but use a meter key and don't force it.

Emergency Plumber questions in Rolesville

Who pays to fix a leak in the pipe between the meter and my house?

Raleigh Water maintains the line up to the property line. From there to the house, the pipe is the owner's responsibility and a plumber repairs it.

Every faucet in the house went dry at once. What should I check?

Ask a neighbor. If they're out too, call Raleigh Water's emergency line: 919-996-2737 on weekdays or 919-829-1930 after hours. If only your house is dry, call a plumber.

What happens to my water when the power goes out?

On Raleigh water, the taps keep working during a power outage. Rural homes on private wells lose water when the pump loses power.

Will an emergency repair need a permit, and who issues it?

Plumbing permits in Rolesville come from Wake County Permits and Inspections, and Wake's trade permit covers water heater change-outs.
