Plumber in Davidson, NC

Davidson is unique in the Charlotte metro. It is a college town built around Davidson College, with a preserved historic core that goes back to the 1800s and a ring of mid-century and newer neighborhoods that have grown up around it. The plumbing work we do in Davidson reflects that layering: a lot of older homes with original everything, surrounded by newer stock that hit its wear-out phase around the same time.

In the historic Davidson neighborhoods off Main Street and around the college, we see galvanized supply lines, cast iron drain stacks, clay sewer laterals, and in some cases lead service lines from the street that should be replaced. We do a lot of water service replacements in this part of town, swapping aging galvanized or polybutylene mains for new copper or PEX. We also do full repipes where the interior supply is beyond patchwork.

The mature tree canopy in Davidson is gorgeous and also the single biggest cause of sewer line problems we deal with here. Roots find every seam and hairline crack in older laterals. We lead with a camera inspection so you see what we are seeing, then match the repair to the actual problem: jetting, spot repair, or trenchless lining that preserves your yard.

Rideout Plumbing has been in business since 1981. Chason Rideout, the owner, is a Marine Corps veteran running the company his dad Eldridge started. Davidson customers tend to stay with us because we treat historic homes like they deserve to be treated, not like a template job.
