Chason Rideout
Owner, Lead Plumber
Third-generation plumber. Answers the phone on evenings, weekends, and holidays. You have seen him on Instagram as @plumbgod. In real life, he is the guy who shows up when a pipe bursts on a Sunday.
Four decades. Three generations of the same family. One phone number that the owner still picks up.
Rideout Plumbing started in 1981 in Charlotte, North Carolina. One truck, one phone line, and a promise that when a Charlotte homeowner needed a plumber, they would get a real one. Forty-five years later, the promise has not changed.
We are veteran-owned and family-run. Chason Rideout runs the business today, alongside Jason and Jeff. You will see the same faces at your house on the second visit as you saw on the first. We are proud of that, and we work hard to keep it that way.
In recent years, we brought Julian's Plumbing into the Rideout family, which is why some folks still know us by the old name. Same craftsmen, same standards, one company now.
We stay small on purpose. The plumbers on our trucks are the plumbers we trained. We don't rent subcontractors, we don't scale past what we can stand behind, and we don't run a call center. When the phone rings, Chason or a family member picks up.
Our team is intentionally small. That is the whole business model. Here are the people you are likely to meet when you call Rideout.

Senior Technician
Specialist in sewer lines, water mains, and anything that takes a camera and a shovel. Goes back decades in the Charlotte plumbing trade.
Journeyman Plumber
Handles water heaters, fixture work, and residential repairs. The guy who quietly solves the problem and leaves your house cleaner than he found it.
If you wanted a call center, you would have called one. When you call Rideout, you get a Rideout.
Slow drain. Running toilet. Recurring leak. We find the real reason, because patching symptoms wastes your money.
Flat-rate pricing. You know the number before we turn a wrench. No meter running, no end-of-job surprises.
Shoe covers, drop cloths, and real cleanup. That is not a marketing line, it is the job.
"As a Tile Contractor, I have had the opportunity to work with several plumbing companies over the years. Rideout Plumbing is by far the most professional plumbing company I have worked with. They are prompt, efficient, and the quality of work is unmatched."
