When you have over a thousand 5-star reviews, it means you’ve solved a lot of problems for Iredell County homeowners. Hall’s Plumbing isn’t just another plumbing company in Statesville—we’re an institution with 1,015 reviews and a 4.6-star rating that reflects decades of reliable service across every plumbing challenge this region throws at us. From our headquarters on Shelton Ave, we dispatch trucks across the entire I-40 and I-77 corridor, handling everything from emergency sewer line failures in Historic Downtown to water heater installations in Brookwood and leak detection in Westwood. Iredell County’s red clay soil, aging infrastructure in established neighborhoods, and the demands of new construction near the interstate crossroads create specific plumbing challenges—and we’ve been solving them longer than most companies have been in business.
Our scale matters when you’re dealing with a plumbing emergency at 9 PM on a Saturday or when smaller outfits are booked solid for a week. The size of our team means we handle urgent calls when other companies turn you away, and our inventory of parts and equipment means we fix problems on the first visit instead of making you wait for special orders. Whether you’re in one of Statesville’s historic homes near Fort Dobbs dealing with cast iron pipe degradation, managing a newer property near Mac Anderson Park with pressure issues, or running a commercial property that can’t afford downtime, we’re the plumbing authority that Statesville has trusted for decades—and our thousand-plus reviews prove it.
Complete Plumbing & Sewer Solutions for Statesville Properties
Plumbing systems in Iredell County face unique stresses: red clay soil that shifts and cracks sewer lines, tree roots that invade older drainage systems, and hard water that accelerates mineral buildup in pipes and fixtures. Here’s how we keep water flowing and drains clear across residential and commercial properties:
- Drain Cleaning & Hydro-Jetting — When drains slow down or back up completely, the cause is usually root intrusion, grease accumulation, or scale buildup inside the pipes. We use hydro-jetting—high-pressure water that scours the inside of drain lines—to remove roots, dissolve grease, and blast away mineral deposits that snaking alone can’t clear. This is critical for both homes on city sewer and properties with septic systems, because we’re clearing the mainline that runs from your fixtures to the street connection or septic tank inlet. For older neighborhoods like Historic Downtown where mature trees send roots into clay tile drainage, hydro-jetting is often the only solution that restores full flow without excavating the entire line.
- Sewer Line Repair & Replacement — Iredell County’s red clay soil expands when wet and contracts when dry, creating stress on buried sewer lines that eventually causes cracks, bellies (sagging sections), or complete breaks. When you notice soggy spots in your yard, sewage odors near the foundation, or chronic drain backups that cleaning doesn’t fix, the problem is likely in the main sewer line. We use camera inspections to pinpoint the exact location and nature of the damage—whether it’s root intrusion at a joint, a crushed section from soil movement, or deteriorated cast iron pipe that’s rusted through. Depending on the damage, we either repair the affected section through trenchless methods or replace the line with modern PVC that won’t corrode and handles soil movement better than older materials.
- Water Heater Services — Repair & Installation — Whether you’re repairing a failing unit or upgrading to a new system, we handle both traditional tank-style and tankless water heaters. For tank replacements, we recommend proper sizing based on household demand (a 40-gallon unit for 2-3 people, 50-gallon for families of 4-5) and install units with expansion tanks to handle Statesville’s municipal water pressure fluctuations. For customers interested in tankless systems, we perform load calculations to ensure adequate flow rates and install units with proper venting and gas line sizing. Hard water in Iredell County accelerates sediment buildup in tank heaters, so we also offer maintenance flushing that extends unit life by removing mineral accumulation before it causes element failure.
- Leak Detection & Re-Piping — Hidden leaks inside walls or under slabs often go undetected until water bills spike or you notice wet spots on floors and ceilings. We use acoustic leak detection equipment and thermal imaging to locate leaks without invasive exploratory demolition. Once found, we assess whether the leak is isolated (requiring targeted repair) or symptomatic of systemic pipe failure (requiring re-piping). For older homes with galvanized steel pipes showing corrosion throughout, we recommend re-piping with PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) that resists corrosion, handles freezing better, and installs faster with fewer joints—reducing future leak points. Re-piping sounds dramatic, but for homes with chronic leak problems, it’s often more cost-effective than endless repairs.
- Backflow Prevention & Testing — Commercial properties, irrigation systems, and homes with well water often require backflow prevention devices to keep contaminated water from flowing backward into the municipal supply. We install and certify backflow preventers, performing annual testing that Statesville’s water authority requires for compliance. For commercial properties, failing your annual backflow test can trigger water service disconnection—we ensure your systems pass and document testing properly.
- Gas Line Services — We install and repair natural gas lines for water heaters, furnaces, stoves, and generators. Gas work requires specific licensing beyond standard plumbing because of the safety implications—our technicians hold the proper certifications and follow code requirements for pipe sizing, pressure testing, and leak detection. For homeowners adding gas appliances or upgrading to higher-BTU equipment, we calculate gas demand and ensure your existing line has adequate capacity, or we run new lines sized correctly for the load.
- Camera Inspection Services — Before buying a home, during chronic drain issues, or when planning renovations that might affect plumbing, we use video camera inspection to evaluate the condition of sewer lines and main drains. The camera feeds into cleanouts or through toilet drains, providing real-time video of pipe interiors. We identify root intrusion, cracks, bellies, grease buildup, or deteriorating cast iron pipe—giving you documentation of conditions and recommended repairs. For real estate transactions, camera inspections often reveal problems that surface inspections miss, potentially saving buyers from expensive surprises after closing.
Protecting Historic Statesville’s Plumbing Infrastructure
Statesville’s established neighborhoods—particularly Historic Downtown, Brookwood, and older sections of Westwood—face specific plumbing challenges that newer developments don’t encounter. Homes built before the 1970s often have cast iron drain pipes that corrode from the inside out, creating rough surfaces that catch debris and accelerate clogging. Tree roots from mature oaks and maples aggressively invade these older clay tile or cast iron sewer lines, seeking the moisture inside and eventually cracking joints or crushing pipes entirely. When homeowners in these areas notice recurring drain problems, soggy spots in yards near the property line, or sewage odors that cleaning doesn’t eliminate, the issue is almost always in the main sewer line where roots have infiltrated or the pipe has deteriorated beyond simple repair.
Iredell County’s red clay soil compounds these problems because it doesn’t drain well—when plumbing leaks occur underground, water pools rather than dissipating, creating those telltale soggy patches in yards that signal buried pipe failures. We’ve seen entire front yards turn marshy from a single crack in a main water line, and homeowners often mistake it for poor drainage or grading issues when the real culprit is a plumbing leak feeding moisture into clay that can’t absorb it quickly. Our leak detection technology pinpoints these hidden failures without tearing up entire yards, and our camera inspections show homeowners exactly what’s happening inside their sewer lines—whether it’s root masses completely blocking flow or pipe sections that have collapsed from soil movement.
In contrast, newer construction near the I-77 and I-40 crossroads faces different challenges: water pressure that’s too high (causing fixture damage and premature water heater failure), improperly sized gas lines for high-efficiency tankless water heaters, and drainage systems that don’t account for clay soil’s slow percolation during heavy rain events. We help new homeowners in these areas install pressure-reducing valves, upgrade gas lines for modern appliances, and address drainage issues before they cause foundation problems. Whether you’re maintaining a century-old home near Fort Dobbs or managing a five-year-old property in a new subdivision, we understand the specific plumbing demands of each and have the parts, equipment, and experience to solve problems efficiently.
Why Statesville Has Trusted Hall’s for Decades
Industry-Leading Social Proof — 4.6 Stars Across 1,015 Reviews — When you accumulate over a thousand reviews and maintain a 4.6-star average, that’s not marketing hype—that’s a verifiable track record of solving problems correctly and treating customers fairly. Our reviews span every type of plumbing service from emergency sewer repairs to routine water heater installations, and they consistently mention the same qualities: technicians who show up when promised, honest diagnosis without upselling, and repairs that solve problems permanently instead of just temporarily. That consistency across hundreds of jobs proves our systems work and our standards hold across our entire team.
Scale That Handles Emergencies When Others Can’t — Small plumbing outfits with 2-3 technicians get booked solid quickly, especially during peak seasons or after weather events that cause widespread problems. Our size means we handle emergency calls when smaller companies are turning customers away. If your water heater fails on Saturday night or your main sewer line backs up during a holiday weekend, we dispatch a qualified technician—not an answering service telling you to wait until Monday. For commercial properties that can’t afford downtime and homeowners dealing with active leaks or sewage backups, that immediate response capability is the difference between a manageable problem and a disaster.
Local Professionals, Not a Distant Franchise — We’re headquartered right on Shelton Ave in Statesville, not dispatching from Charlotte or Winston-Salem. Our technicians live in Iredell County, understand the specific plumbing challenges of Statesville’s soil and infrastructure, and respond quickly because they’re already in the area. When you call Hall’s, you’re not navigating a franchise corporate structure where your local office has no autonomy—you’re working directly with the team that’s been serving this community for decades. That local presence means we understand which neighborhoods have chronic pressure issues, where tree roots are most aggressive, and which subdivisions used builders that cut corners on plumbing specs.
Comprehensive Parts Inventory & Equipment Fleet — Our warehouse stocks parts for virtually every plumbing fixture and appliance commonly installed in Iredell County over the past 50 years. That means when we diagnose a problem, we fix it on the first visit instead of ordering parts and scheduling return trips. Our trucks carry hydro-jetting equipment, camera inspection systems, leak detection technology, and enough common parts to handle most repairs immediately. For homeowners, that translates to less time without water, less disruption to your schedule, and lower total costs because you’re not paying for multiple service calls.
Technical Expertise Across All Plumbing Systems — Our technicians hold state plumbing licenses, gas fitting certifications, and backflow prevention credentials. They’re not generalists dabbling in plumbing—they’re specialists who understand hydraulics, pressure systems, drainage physics, and building codes. When we diagnose a problem, we’re identifying root causes rather than treating symptoms. When we recommend solutions, we’re explaining options based on engineering principles and long-term cost-effectiveness, not pushing the most expensive repair because it generates higher commissions. That technical depth is why municipal contractors, commercial property managers, and real estate professionals trust us for projects where the work has to be right the first time.
