Comprehensive Plumbing Services in Statesville, North Carolina

Emergency Plumbing Service

A burst pipe or sewage backup can cause significant damage if water or wastewater continues to spread. During business hours, we prioritize emergency calls and typically dispatch to Hickory addresses within a 60-90 minute window.

If you smell gas, leave the property first. Call 911 and your gas utility before contacting us for the plumbing repair.

Drain Cleaning

We clear clogged and slow drains with mechanical snaking and hydro jetting. If a drain keeps clogging after it has been cleared, we can investigate the line rather than repeatedly treating the same blockage.

Older properties around Westmont and Brookford may have aging cast-iron sewer lines. Scale buildup and deterioration can affect how these pipes drain.

Sewer Line Repair and Replacement

Sewer problems can originate inside the building or farther underground. We use camera inspection when appropriate to locate damage and understand the condition of the line.

We also offer trenchless options when the property and pipe conditions make them practical.

Water Heater Repair and Replacement

We service tank and tankless water heaters throughout Hickory. A failing water heater can leave you without reliable hot water or cause a leak that damages the surrounding area.

We also install replacement systems when an existing unit has reached the end of its service life.

Navien Tankless Water Heater Service

We are a Navien Service Specialist, with factory training for Navien tankless equipment. That allows us to diagnose Navien systems in-house instead of automatically referring to this work elsewhere.

We work with Navien NPE, NPN, and NCB product lines.

Submersible Well Pump Repair

Private wells are common in parts of the Hickory area, particularly around Falling Creek and Mountain View. When a well system stops producing water, the pump is not automatically the part that needs replacement.

We repair submersible well pumps and service equipment from brands such as:

Grundfos
Goulds
Franklin Electric
Red Jacket
Sta-Rite

A failed pressure switch, check valve, control box, or another component may be the actual cause.

Water Quality and Filtration

Private wells in outlying parts of Catawba County can have elevated iron, manganese, and hardness. Hard water can leave mineral deposits on fixtures and affect water heaters over time.

We provide water quality solutions based on the conditions at the property. If you have a well, testing the water can help determine what treatment makes sense.

Commercial Plumbing

We provide plumbing services for Hickory businesses, including offices, restaurants, retail properties, and small industrial facilities.

Commercial plumbing problems can interfere with normal operations. We work on drains, grease lines, water heaters, backflow systems, and other plumbing needs.

Local Plumbing Problems We See in Hickory

Hickory has a mix of newer construction and older homes. That means plumbing conditions can vary considerably from one neighborhood to another.

Older Cast-Iron Sewer Lines

Some homes around Westmont and Brookford still have original cast-iron sewer mains dating back to the 1950s and 1960s. Cast iron can develop internal scale and corrosion after decades underground.
A camera inspection can show whether a sewer line has root intrusion, buildup, cracking, or another problem. We use that information when determining what service the line needs.
Private Well Systems

Properties around Mountain View, Falling Creek, and Sherrills Ford may rely on private wells instead of municipal water. The problem is that well problems can leave a property without water even when the plumbing inside the house is functioning.
We diagnose the well pump system rather than assuming the entire pump assembly needs to be replaced.
Winter Pipe Freezes

Cold weather can put exposed plumbing at risk, particularly in vented crawlspaces. Older Hickory homes may have supply lines running through areas with limited protection from freezing temperatures.
Knowing where your main shutoff valve is located can make a significant difference if a pipe breaks. If a pipe bursts, shut off the water and contact us during business hours for service.
