Plumbing Services for Hickory Homes and Businesses
Residential and Commercial Plumbing, Water Heaters, Water Treatment, Sewer Services, and More
No hot water? A drain that keeps backing up? Low water pressure, a leaking pipe, poor water quality, or a sewer problem can have very different causes. A&B Plumbing helps homeowners and businesses in Hickory, NC, identify the source of plumbing problems and determine the appropriate repair, replacement, maintenance, or installation.
A&B Plumbing is a family-owned, North Carolina-licensed plumbing company headquartered in Hickory, with a second location in Conover. The company provides residential and commercial plumbing services throughout Catawba County and surrounding communities.
Plumbing Problems We Help Solve
Plumbing symptoms do not always identify the underlying problem. A slow drain may be caused by buildup or a developing line issue. Inconsistent hot water can involve the water heater, controls, plumbing connections, or system capacity. Low water pressure may originate with a fixture, supply line, pressure-related component, or another part of the plumbing system.
A&B Plumbing evaluates the problem before recommending a solution. That approach helps determine whether a repair, cleaning, replacement, maintenance service, or larger plumbing correction is appropriate for the property.
Common problems we help address include:
-
No or inconsistent hot water
-
Leaking water heaters and plumbing fixtures
-
Recurring drain backups and slow drains
-
Sewer line problems
-
Water quality and hard-water concerns
-
Low or inconsistent water pressure
-
Leaking or damaged pipes
-
Submersible well pump problems
-
Slab leaks
-
Plumbing fixture and water line problems
Water Heater Repair, Replacement, and Installation
A water heater affects everything from bathing and laundry to cleaning and other daily household tasks. When the system stops producing enough hot water, makes unusual noises, produces discolored water, or develops a leak, the right solution depends on what is causing the problem.
A&B Plumbing works with both traditional tank water heaters and tankless systems. Services include water heater repair, replacement, installation, and maintenance. For tankless systems, the company provides installation, repair, replacement, and maintenance services.
A&B Plumbing also has specialized Navien expertise. Owner and master plumber Brandon is factory-trained on Navien NPE, NPN, and NCB tankless water heater lines, and A&B Plumbing identifies itself as a Navien Service Specialist serving Catawba County.
If you're unsure whether your water heater needs a repair or replacement, an evaluation can help identify the condition of the system and the options available for your property.
Water Treatment and Water Quality Services
Water quality can affect more than how water tastes or smells. Hard-water minerals can contribute to scale buildup on fixtures and within plumbing systems, while water quality concerns may affect appliances and everyday use.
A&B Plumbing provides water quality services, including water softener installation and customized water treatment solutions. The goal is to match the treatment approach to the property's actual water quality needs rather than recommending the same system for every customer.
If you're noticing mineral buildup, changes in water quality, or other concerns with your home's water, A&B Plumbing can evaluate the issue and discuss available treatment options.
Sewer Line Repair and Maintenance
Recurring drain problems can sometimes indicate an issue beyond the individual fixture. Multiple slow drains, repeated backups, unusual sewer odors, or other drainage changes can warrant a closer look at the sewer system.
A&B Plumbing provides sewer line repair and replacement services for residential and commercial properties. The appropriate solution depends on the location, condition, and cause of the problem.
For properties with aging or damaged sewer lines, identifying the actual condition of the line is an important part of determining whether repair or replacement makes sense.
Drain Cleaning and Plumbing Repairs
A clogged drain is not always just a clog. Grease, debris, mineral deposits, and other buildup can restrict flow, while recurring blockages can point to a larger issue within the drainage system.
A&B Plumbing provides drain cleaning services that include cleaning, descaling, snaking, and jetting. The company also provides plumbing repairs for problems throughout residential and commercial properties.
General plumbing services can address issues involving:
-
Leaking pipes and plumbing connections
-
Faucets and fixtures
-
Toilets
-
Water lines
-
Drainage
-
Plumbing system repairs
-
Water heaters
-
Sewer systems
The goal is to identify why the problem is occurring and address the underlying issue rather than simply treating the most visible symptom.
Submersible Well and Water Supply Services
Not every property receives its water from the same type of system. For homes that rely on wells, the submersible pump is an important part of maintaining consistent water service.
A&B Plumbing provides submersible well services, including installation, replacement, and repair. The company also identifies submersible well pump repair as one of its areas of specialization.
When a well system stops delivering water or begins behaving differently, determining whether the issue involves the pump or another component helps establish the appropriate repair.
Slab Leak Detection and Repair
A leak beneath a concrete slab can be difficult to identify because the plumbing problem may not be visible at the fixture or pipe itself. Signs can include unexplained moisture, changes in water use, or other indications that a water or sewer line beneath the slab may be leaking.
A&B Plumbing provides slab leak detection and repair services in Hickory. Professional detection helps identify the location and nature of the leak so the appropriate repair can be determined.
Why Choose A&B Plumbing?
The right plumbing company should be able to do more than identify a symptom. Customers need to understand what is causing the problem, what options are available, and what work is actually necessary.
A&B Plumbing is a family-owned, North Carolina-licensed plumbing company with a Hickory headquarters and a second location in Conover. The company is also BBB-accredited and carries general liability and workers' compensation insurance.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING
Brandon was supper nice. Came out looked at the leaks I was having. Gave me a price and fixed right then. He done an outstanding job. Didn’t try to rip me off like previous one done. He came back out today to make sure everything was still ok. That’s what you want! I highly recommend him any day !!
Over the last 7 years I have dealt with 3 or 4 plumbing companies in the Conover and Hickory area. Branden is the best I have encountered yet. Professional, friendly and ensures you are aware of any potential issues with whatever you need done. Fair pricing with no hidden cost. He even fixed a small issue I had with my fireplace at no cost when he came here to do a plumbing job. Great Job Branden.
Branden arrived timely, took the time to hear the issues we were having, looked into each issue specially, and explained what he was looking for as he was going. Very knowledgeable. I will be using them again in the future if needed and would recommend A&B to others in need.
Brandon was efficient replacing our tankless water heater. Can't forget to mention Amanda who runs a great office. Highly recommend them.
A&B were great. I called and they came out the same day. I needed a water line with a cut off valve to my refrigerator. They were very courteous and took care of the plumbing in a timely manner. I would definitely recommend to anyone needing plumbing work.
Brandon was fantastic. I have had a lot of service needs over the past 5 years, and he was by far one of the best I've had. Prompt response, arrived on time (early actually!), took the time to explain my issue and went above and beyond with a few other items I needed advice on. Would highly recommend and will definitely use again!
We had to have our water main line replaced. It ruptured in two spots. Branden and his guys came out early than expected ( which we didnt mind). The job was done before we got home from work. And we had no issues. Thank you so much A&B plumbing we will definitely recommend you to others.
We had a water leak in our shower. Called A&B Plumbing yesterday afternoon and this morning Brandon came out and repaired it. He was punctual, friendly, professional, and he fully repaired our shower problem quickly. I highly recommend A&B Plumbing!
The team arrived before the scheduled time and communication was excellent. They exhibited quality workmanship and I am well pleased with all the work they did. I can highly recommend them.
Branden was professional and detailed! I needed four smaller plumbing tasks done for my new (for me) home. He assessed the problems, provided a reasonable quote, and finished them all in the same day!
