Complete Residential Plumbing Solutions

All County Plumbing provides full-service residential plumbing throughout the Hickory metro area and Catawba Valley. Here’s what comprehensive plumbing service means for your home:

• Drain Cleaning & Clog Removal – Slow drains and backed-up sinks are more than annoyances—they’re warnings that clogs are building in your pipes. Grease accumulation from years of cooking. Hair and soap buildup in bathroom drains. Tree roots infiltrating sewer lines searching for moisture. We clear these clogs using professional equipment that removes blockages completely, restoring full flow and preventing recurring problems. For mainline clogs that affect multiple fixtures, we locate the blockage and clear it efficiently, whether it’s inside your home’s plumbing or in the line connecting to your septic system or city sewer.
• Plumbing Repairs (Fixtures, Toilets, Pipes) – Leaking faucets waste thousands of gallons annually. Running toilets drive up water bills and stress septic systems. Dripping pipes create water damage that costs far more than the initial repair. We fix these problems quickly and correctly—replacing worn cartridges, repairing toilet mechanisms, patching or replacing leaking pipes. For homes on septic systems, we understand that water waste doesn’t just increase bills—it fills septic tanks faster and can overwhelm drainfields. Proper plumbing repairs protect your entire waste management system.
• Water Heater Repair & Replacement – When water heaters fail, you need fast service to restore hot water. We repair traditional tank models and modern tankless systems, diagnosing issues accurately and implementing permanent solutions. When replacement is necessary, we guide you through tank versus tankless decisions based on your household needs and budget—not based on what generates the highest commission. We install correctly, ensuring proper venting, appropriate sizing, and code compliance that prevents future problems.
• Sewer & Septic Line Repairs – The lines connecting your home to your septic tank or city sewer are critical infrastructure. When these lines clog, crack, or fail, sewage backs up into your house—a health hazard and expensive cleanup. We repair sewer and septic lines using professional equipment, clearing root intrusions that block flow and fixing damaged sections that leak. For homes on septic systems, maintaining clear lines between the house and tank prevents backups and protects drainfield function. We handle both diagnosis and repair, solving line problems before they become emergencies.
• Low Water Pressure Diagnostics – Weak water pressure makes showers frustrating and appliances inefficient. The cause might be clogged aerators (simple fix), corroded pipes (serious problem), or pressure regulator failure (fixable issue). We diagnose the actual cause and implement appropriate solutions—whether that’s cleaning fixtures, replacing sections of pipe, or adjusting system pressure. We don’t guess; we test, identify, and solve.
• Emergency Plumbing Service – Burst pipes, major leaks, and sewage backups require immediate response. We provide emergency service for critical plumbing failures, prioritizing health and safety while preventing water damage to your home. When you call All County Plumbing in emergency, you get experienced professionals who diagnose quickly and fix problems correctly—even under pressure.
• Honest Assessments (No Upselling) – Some plumbing companies make money by finding problems that don’t exist or recommending replacements when repairs would suffice. We make ours by being honest. If your faucet needs a new cartridge, we replace the cartridge—we don’t try to sell you a whole new fixture. If your water heater can be repaired for $200 instead of replaced for $2,000, we tell you that. Honesty builds long-term customer relationships, and those 171 reviews reflect homeowners who appreciated straight answers.

Serving Hickory, Newton, and Conover

Our trucks are a common sight from our shop on Main Avenue NW out to Newton and Conover, throughout St. Stephens, and across the greater Hickory area. We work on historic Hickory homes with decades-old plumbing that needs careful updating alongside new construction where modern systems still require expert installation and occasional repairs. The Catawba Valley’s mix of established neighborhoods and growing subdivisions creates diverse plumbing needs, and we handle them all with the same straightforward professionalism.

Hickory’s older neighborhoods—downtown areas, established residential streets—often have aging plumbing infrastructure. Galvanized pipes that corrode from the inside. Cast iron sewer lines infiltrated by tree roots. Water heaters that have exceeded their design life. We repair and replace these systems, bringing older homes up to modern standards while respecting the character that makes historic properties valuable.

Newton and Conover blend rural properties with suburban development. Some homes are on city water and sewer; others rely on wells and septic systems. Rural properties might have long sewer lines vulnerable to root intrusion or settling. Suburban homes might have builder-grade fixtures that fail within years. We serve both contexts, understanding the different challenges each presents and bringing appropriate solutions.

St. Stephens and the surrounding areas represent growing residential development. New construction should have reliable plumbing, but installation quality varies. We help homeowners address warranty issues, fix problems that builders left unresolved, and provide the maintenance that keeps newer systems functioning properly. We also work with property managers and landlords who oversee multiple rental properties and need consistent, reliable plumbing service.

The Catawba Valley’s infrastructure includes both city sewer connections and septic systems. For homes on septic, we understand that plumbing repairs aren’t just about stopping leaks—they’re about protecting expensive septic systems from excess water that causes hydraulic overload and premature drainfield failure. We clear the lines that feed your septic or sewer system, ensuring waste flows properly out of your home without creating backups or stress on downstream infrastructure.

Why Locals Trust All County Plumbing (4.7 Stars, 171 Reviews)

We Don’t Sell You Things You Don’t NeedHonesty is our differentiator. If a repair costs $100 and solves the problem, we don’t recommend a $1,000 replacement. If your system has years of life left, we don’t manufacture urgency to generate sales. We assess problems accurately and recommend solutions that make sense for your situation and budget. That straightforward approach is why homeowners across the Catawba Valley keep calling us—they know we’ll tell them the truth.

171 Reviews Reflect Consistent QualityYou don’t accumulate 171 reviews with a 4.7-star rating by accident. That’s years of showing up on time, fixing problems correctly, and treating customers fairly. Those reviews represent homeowners in Hickory, Newton, Conover, and St. Stephens who’ve experienced the difference between reliable professional service and companies that overpromise and underdeliver. Consistent quality builds reputation, and our reputation speaks for itself.

Licensed Professionals Who Do It RightPlumbing licensing requires training, testing, and continuing education. It ensures we’re qualified to diagnose complex problems, work safely with water and waste systems, and meet building code requirements. When you hire All County Plumbing, you’re hiring licensed professionals who understand plumbing systems comprehensively—not handymen experimenting with your infrastructure.

We Arrive Promptly and Work CleanPlumbing work is messy, but your home doesn’t have to be. We use drop cloths, we clean up when we’re done, and we respect your property. We arrive during scheduled time windows (or we call if something changes), we diagnose efficiently, and we complete repairs without leaving messes for you to clean up. Professional service includes professional behavior, and we deliver both.

We Understand Septic System ConnectionsFor the many Catawba Valley homes on septic systems, plumbing isn’t just about fixtures and pipes inside the house—it’s about the entire waste management system. Leaking toilets fill septic tanks faster. Clogged lines between house and tank cause backups. Excessive water use stresses drainfields. We understand these connections and explain them to homeowners, helping you protect septic investments through proper plumbing maintenance.

Fair Pricing Based on Actual WorkWe charge for the time and materials required to fix the problem correctly. No hidden fees. No surprise charges that appear on invoices after work is complete. Upfront estimates give you the information needed to make decisions, and our final bills match what we quoted. Transparent pricing eliminates the anxiety that comes from hiring contractors who play games with costs.
