When your plumbing fails in Concord—whether that’s galvanized pipes corroding in a Historic District home near the Memorial Garden, a water heater giving out in Kannapolis mill house, or clay sewer lines collapsing in Harrisburg’s older neighborhoods—you need contractors who understand Cabarrus County’s infrastructure history as well as modern plumbing solutions. Three Way Plumbing has earned 4.6 stars across 245 verified reviews by combining three generations of local knowledge with current technical expertise: we know which downtown streets have galvanized pipes from the 1940s, which Kannapolis mill homes need careful re-piping to preserve historic character, and which Harrisburg subdivisions face builder-grade fixture failures. We’re not a franchise learning Concord from a map—we’re the hometown family business that’s been serving this community since your grandparents were raising your parents.
We’re based on Church Street NE, just blocks from Concord’s historic district and the Cabarrus County Courthouse—not in some strip mall on the outskirts. Our downtown location means we reach Historic District homes in 5 minutes, Gibson Village in 8 minutes, Kannapolis in 15 minutes, Harrisburg in 20 minutes, and Mount Pleasant in 25 minutes. From our office, we serve the entire Cabarrus County region—from the mill homes of Kannapolis where textile workers once lived, to the new builds in Harrisburg where modern families are establishing roots. We’re not just plumbers who fix pipes—we’re neighbors who care about preserving Concord’s architectural heritage while bringing homes into the 21st century with reliable, efficient plumbing systems.
Complete Plumbing Care for Cabarrus County
Concord and Cabarrus County’s mix of historic homes, mill village architecture, and modern suburban development creates plumbing challenges that require both respect for the past and knowledge of current solutions. We bring both to every job.
- Comprehensive Plumbing Repair & Maintenance — We handle the full spectrum of residential and light commercial plumbing: leak detection and repair, fixture installations and upgrades, pipe repairs, faucet and toilet replacements, garbage disposal service, pressure regulator installation, shut-off valve replacement, and emergency response. But here’s what makes us hometown experts rather than just plumbers: when we work in Historic District homes or Kannapolis mill houses, we understand the construction techniques, material choices, and architectural details that matter to preservation-minded homeowners. We don’t just rip out historic fixtures and install generic replacements—we discuss options that balance modern functionality with period-appropriate aesthetics. For newer Harrisburg and Mount Pleasant homes, we know which builder-grade components fail prematurely and recommend upgrades that prevent repeat service calls.
- Water Heater Installation & Service (Tank & Tankless) — Water heater failures are inevitable—traditional tanks last 8-12 years before catastrophic failure. We install and service both conventional tank units and modern tankless systems, but we take time to help you choose correctly for your household. Tank water heaters are reliable, affordable upfront, and work well for most Concord families. Tankless units cost more initially but provide endless hot water and lower operating costs—ideal for larger families or homes with multiple bathrooms where simultaneous showers are common. We size systems properly based on your actual usage, verify adequate gas supply or electrical capacity, install with proper venting and expansion tanks, and test thoroughly before leaving. For historic homes where water heater closets are tight or awkwardly located, we problem-solve installation challenges that defeat less experienced contractors.
- Whole-Home Re-piping Services (Historic Home Specialists) — Historic Concord homes along Union Street, around the Memorial Garden, and throughout Gibson Village often have galvanized steel pipes installed in the 1940s-60s that are corroding from the inside out. Galvanized pipes develop rust buildup that restricts water flow, discolors water, and eventually leaks—creating water pressure problems, rusty water complaints, and hidden water damage. We specialize in whole-home re-piping using modern materials (copper or PEX) that last decades without corrosion. Our approach respects historic homes: we minimize wall damage during pipe replacement, work carefully around period details like crown molding and plaster walls, coordinate with homeowners about routing options, and restore finishes thoughtfully. For mill homes in Kannapolis where preservation matters to the community, we treat re-piping as both technical plumbing and historical stewardship.
- Sewer Line Repair & Clay Pipe Replacement — Many Concord, Kannapolis, and Harrisburg properties have clay sewer lines installed decades ago that are deteriorating, cracking, and collapsing. Tree roots invade through joints and cracks, creating blockages and backups. We use video camera inspection to diagnose sewer line conditions, then recommend appropriate solutions: spot repairs for isolated damage, pipe lining for partial deterioration, or full replacement for extensive failure. When excavation is necessary, we work efficiently to minimize landscape damage, coordinate with local utilities to avoid underground conflicts, and restore yards carefully. For properties near downtown where sewer lines run under driveways, sidewalks, or mature landscaping, we discuss trenchless repair options that reduce surface disruption.
- Drain Cleaning & Root Removal — Slow drains, gurgling toilets, and sewage backups indicate mainline problems requiring professional attention. We use mechanical augers to clear simple clogs and heavy-duty equipment with root-cutting blades to remove tree roots from sewer lines. Kannapolis properties with mature trees face inevitable root intrusion—we don’t just poke temporary holes through root masses, we cut roots out completely and recommend preventive measures (chemical treatments, scheduled maintenance, or pipe replacement) based on severity. For kitchen drains clogged with grease or bathroom drains slow from hair and soap buildup, we clear blockages and educate homeowners about maintenance practices that prevent recurrence.
- Emergency Plumbing Response — Burst pipes, water heater failures, sewer backups, and gas leaks don’t respect business hours. We maintain emergency dispatch capacity because we understand that plumbing failures create immediate risks: water damage, sewage contamination, fire hazards (gas leaks), and family displacement. When you call with a genuine emergency, we prioritize response—not schedule you for “next available opening.” Our Church Street location and Cabarrus County focus mean we reach emergency calls quickly: downtown Concord in minutes, Kannapolis in 15-20 minutes, Harrisburg in 20-25 minutes. We’re not promising what we can’t deliver—we’re providing realistic emergency response from local contractors who actually care about this community.
Serving Concord, Kannapolis, and Harrisburg
Whether you own a renovated mill house in Kannapolis where textile heritage meets modern living, maintain a historic home near Union Street where galvanized pipes need updating while preserving architectural integrity, manage new construction in Moss Creek or other Harrisburg subdivisions where builder-grade plumbing needs improvement, or operate businesses along Concord’s commercial corridors where plumbing reliability directly impacts operations—Three Way Plumbing understands that every corner of Cabarrus County has distinct plumbing challenges shaped by construction era, architectural style, and community character.
We’re positioned on Church Street NE in downtown Concord—not 30 miles away in Charlotte dispatching trucks through rush hour traffic. Our central Cabarrus County location means we reach Historic District homes in 5 minutes, Gibson Village in 8 minutes, Kannapolis mill houses in 15 minutes, Harrisburg developments in 20 minutes, and Mount Pleasant properties in 25 minutes. We know that Historic District homes have galvanized pipes, plaster walls, and period details requiring careful work. We know that Kannapolis mill homes have unique plumbing configurations from their textile village origins. We know that Harrisburg’s growth boom means homes with builder-grade fixtures failing prematurely. We know that Mount Pleasant’s rural character means some properties still have well water and septic systems requiring different expertise than municipal connections.
Our service area extends throughout Cabarrus County—covering Midland, Mount Pleasant, and into surrounding communities. When downtown business owners need plumbing contractors who understand operational continuity and can work around business hours, they call us. When historic preservation advocates need plumbers who respect architectural integrity, they call us because we’ve proven we care about Concord’s heritage. When families throughout the county need honest contractors who explain options clearly and price fairly, they call us because three generations of serving this community have taught us that reputation matters more than maximizing every invoice.
Why Concord Calls Three Way Plumbing
245 Reviews with 4.6-Star Hometown Trust — Our 4.6-star rating across 245+ reviews reflects real customer experiences in a tight-knit community where we can’t hide behind corporate anonymity. When neighbors review us, they’re sharing honest assessments with other neighbors—not anonymous internet strangers. Our consistent rating demonstrates we deliver reliable service: we show up when scheduled, we explain work clearly, we respect homes and property, we price fairly, and we stand behind our work. In Cabarrus County where reputations are built through word-of-mouth at church, school events, and local businesses, we’ve earned trust the old-fashioned way—by keeping our word for three generations.
Three Generations of Local Knowledge — Three Way Plumbing isn’t a startup or franchise learning Concord from Google Maps. We’re a multi-generational family business with deep roots in this community. Our technicians include family members who grew up here, went to local schools, and learned plumbing from fathers and grandfathers who served Cabarrus County for decades. This generational knowledge matters: we remember plumbing historic homes before “preservation” was trendy, we watched Kannapolis transform after textile mills closed, we’ve seen Harrisburg grow from farmland to suburbs. This institutional memory informs how we work—we’re not just fixing today’s problem, we’re maintaining continuity with this community’s past.
Historic Home Re-piping Specialists — Concord’s Historic District and Kannapolis mill villages contain homes where plumbing updates require both technical skill and preservation sensitivity. We’ve re-piped hundreds of historic homes, learning to work around plaster walls, preserve period fixtures where possible, route modern pipes through vintage construction, and restore finishes respectfully. We understand that these homes aren’t just structures—they’re legacies connecting current residents to Concord’s textile and railroad heritage. When we work in historic properties, we honor that connection by treating architectural details with the respect they deserve while bringing plumbing into the 21st century.
“No Surprises” Pricing Philosophy — We provide clear estimates before starting non-emergency work, explaining what’s included and what variables might affect final cost. We don’t provide low-ball estimates to win jobs, then inflate invoices with “unforeseen” charges. We don’t exploit emergency situations with predatory pricing. We charge fairly for quality work, and we explain our pricing so customers understand value—not just accept numbers because they’re desperate or uninformed. Standard plumbing repairs in Concord run $150-$400 depending on complexity. Water heater installations range $1,200-$3,500 for tanks, $2,500-$5,000+ for tankless. Whole-home re-piping costs $4,000-$12,000 depending on home size and pipe routing complexity. We provide these ranges upfront so customers can budget appropriately.
Respectful, Professional Service — Our technicians wear uniforms, arrive in marked vehicles, use floor protection, and clean work areas thoroughly before leaving. We treat your home with respect—not as a construction site we’ll never see again. We communicate clearly about what we find, explain repair options at different price points, and let you make informed decisions without pressure tactics. We follow up after work to verify satisfaction. These professional standards aren’t revolutionary—they’re basic courtesy that surprisingly few contractors maintain consistently. We maintain them because that’s how we’d want contractors to treat our own families’ homes.
Community Integration (We Live Here Too) — Three Way Plumbing isn’t a regional operator serving five counties from a distant headquarters. We’re Concord neighbors. Our families shop at local businesses. Our kids attend Cabarrus County schools. We worship at local churches. We volunteer in community organizations. This integration creates natural accountability: poor work doesn’t just cost us that one customer—it damages relationships in a community where everyone knows everyone. Our business success depends on maintaining trust with neighbors who become repeat customers and refer friends. This creates powerful incentives for honesty, quality, and fair dealing that faceless corporations don’t experience.
