Plumber in Charlotte, NC

Licensed, insured, and family-run since 1981. From 1920s bungalows in Dilworth to new builds in South End, we fix Charlotte plumbing the right way the first time.

Why Charlotte homeowners choose Rideout

Charlotte is not one plumbing job. It is a hundred of them. The Queen City crossed 874,000 residents in the last census, and the housing stock tells that story: a pre-war core surrounded by mid-century neighborhoods, surrounded by a ring of brand-new construction pushing out every year.

In Dilworth, Myers Park, and Elizabeth, we see original galvanized supply lines from the 1920s and cast iron drain stacks that are now 90-plus years old. These homes often need full repipes, sewer line replacements, or at minimum a camera inspection before the next renovation. Down in NoDa and Plaza Midwood, the 1940s and 1950s bungalows are usually on their second generation of plumbing, with clay sewer laterals that love to collect tree roots.

Then you have South End, Uptown, and the Blue Line corridor, where we work in high-rise condos, adaptive-reuse lofts, and new townhomes. Ballantyne, Providence, Steele Creek, and the University area are mostly 1990s-and-newer stock, where the problems lean toward failing water heaters, slab leaks in copper-on-slab homes, and PEX manifold issues. The outer edges of the city still have a few homes on well and septic, which we also handle.

We have been a Charlotte plumbing company for more than four decades. Chason Rideout, the owner, is a Marine Corps veteran, and his father Eldridge started the business in 1981. The phone rings in the truck, not a call center. That matters when your hot water heater fails on a Sunday night.

What Charlotte customers say

"My water heater started leaking on a Saturday night. I called and the owner, Chason, answered. He was at my house within the hour, came straight from his own home. Replaced the unit the next morning. I have never had a tradesperson respond like that."

Charlotte plumbing FAQ

Do you serve all of Charlotte, including uptown and the outer neighborhoods?
Yes. We run trucks across Charlotte daily, from South End and Dilworth uptown out to Ballantyne, Steele Creek, Providence, the University area, Myers Park, Elizabeth, NoDa, and beyond. If you have a Charlotte address, we cover it.
My Dilworth or Myers Park home still has galvanized pipes. Should I replace them?
Charlotte has a lot of 1920s and 1930s housing stock in Dilworth, Myers Park, and Elizabeth with original galvanized supply lines. They corrode from the inside, choke water pressure, and eventually leak. If you are seeing rusty water, low pressure upstairs, or recurring pinhole leaks, a whole-house repipe in PEX or copper is usually the right call.
Can you service high-rise condos in Uptown and South End?
Yes. We work in high-rise units across Uptown, South End, and the light-rail corridor. We coordinate with building management on water shutoffs, elevator access, and HOA requirements before we start.
How fast can you get to my Charlotte home for an emergency?
Most true emergencies in the Charlotte city limits get a technician on site the same day, often within a couple of hours. Chason, the owner, personally answers after-hours calls so you are not stuck leaving a voicemail at 2 a.m.
Do you pull permits with Charlotte-Mecklenburg for water heaters and sewer work?
Yes. Water heater replacements, gas work, sewer line repairs, and repipes require Mecklenburg County permits and inspections. We pull the permit in our name, meet the inspector, and hand you the signed-off paperwork.
