Complete Plumbing & Septic Service in Statesville – Top Notch Plumbing

Plumbing issues don’t stop at the wall. Whether it’s a clogged drain inside your home or a full septic tank outside, Top Notch Plumbing Services Inc. handles the entire system. With a 4.7-star rating from 173 reviews, we’ve built our reputation on a simple principle: why call two different companies when one licensed plumber can diagnose and fix problems from the sink to the septic tank?

From our location on Buffalo Shoals Road, we serve the Statesville-Lake Norman corridor—Statesville, Troutman, Stony Point, and the northern shores of Lake Norman—with comprehensive plumbing and septic services that eliminate the hassle of coordinating multiple contractors. When you’re dealing with slow drains, you need someone who can determine if the problem is a clogged pipe inside the house or a full septic tank outside. When your water heater fails, you want a licensed plumber who also understands how water usage affects your septic system. That’s Top Notch.

We’re not just a plumbing company that dabbles in septic, and we’re not a septic company that claims to understand plumbing. We’re licensed professionals who handle the complete water and waste system your home depends on—from faucet repairs to septic tank pumping, from water heater installations to drain cleaning. One call solves it all, and 173 reviews prove we deliver on that promise.

From the Sink to the Septic Tank

Top Notch Plumbing Services provides integrated plumbing and septic solutions for homes across Iredell County. Here’s what comprehensive service means for you:

• Septic Tank Pumping & Maintenance – Iredell County’s clay soil drains slowly, which means septic drainfields operate under constant hydraulic pressure. Regular pumping every 3-5 years prevents backups, protects your drainfield from failure, and extends system life by decades. We remove sludge completely, inspect tank integrity, clean effluent filters, and check baffles during every service. Because we’re licensed plumbers, we also understand how your home’s plumbing connects to the septic system—and we can identify problems (like excessive water usage from leaking toilets) that accelerate tank filling and stress drainfields.
• Plumbing Repairs (Toilets, Faucets, Leaks) – Leaking toilets waste thousands of gallons of water annually and fill septic tanks faster than they should. Dripping faucets seem minor but add up over time. Running water in pipes you can’t see creates hidden costs. We repair these issues quickly and correctly—stopping water waste that stresses your septic system and drives up your water bill. When you hire a plumber who also understands septic systems, repairs aren’t just about fixing leaks—they’re about protecting your entire waste management infrastructure.
• Drain Cleaning & Mainline Clearing – Slow drains can indicate problems inside your home’s plumbing (grease buildup, hair clogs) or outside at the septic tank (full tank, clogged inlet). We diagnose the actual cause using professional equipment and solve the problem permanently. If the issue is inside, we clear the line. If it’s outside, we pump the tank. If it’s both, we handle it in one visit. No second contractor needed, no scheduling delays, no confusion about who’s responsible for what.
• Water Heater Repair & Installation – When water heaters fail, homeowners need fast replacement to restore hot water. We handle traditional tank models and modern tankless systems, providing same-day installation when possible. Because we understand septic systems, we also advise on water usage—tankless heaters provide endless hot water, but for homes on septic, we explain how long showers and heavy hot water use affect system capacity. It’s comprehensive thinking that prevents future problems.
• Plumbing Diagnostics (Finding Hidden Problems) – Mysterious wet spots in the yard could be a leaking water line or a failing drainfield. Sewage odors might indicate a plumbing vent issue or septic tank problems. Running water sounds could be toilet leaks or mainline issues. We diagnose the root cause—whether it’s inside plumbing or outside septic—eliminating guesswork and preventing unnecessary repairs. This diagnostic capability saves homeowners time and money because we solve the actual problem, not just the symptoms.
• Emergency Service (Plumbing & Septic) – Plumbing emergencies and septic backups don’t respect business hours. Burst pipes at midnight. Sewage backing up into the house on Sunday morning. Water heaters failing before family arrives for the holidays. We provide emergency response for both plumbing and septic failures, diagnosing quickly and implementing solutions that restore function. One phone number covers all emergencies—no searching for different contractors in a crisis.
• Lake Norman Watershed Compliance – Properties near Lake Norman face additional regulations designed to protect water quality. We understand these requirements and ensure septic systems are maintained to standards that prevent nutrient leaching into the watershed. For new construction or system repairs near the lake, we navigate permitting and compliance so homeowners don’t face violations or fines.

Serving Statesville, Troutman, and Lake Norman

Our location on Buffalo Shoals Road positions us perfectly to reach Troutman, the northern shores of Lake Norman, the historic neighborhoods of Statesville, and the rural properties around Stony Point. This region represents diverse infrastructure—some areas have city water and sewer, others rely entirely on wells and septic systems, and lakefront properties face unique regulatory requirements.

Historic Statesville homes often have older plumbing that needs updating alongside aging septic systems. Cast iron pipes deteriorate, galvanized lines corrode, and septic tanks installed in the 1970s reach end-of-life. We handle both upgrades simultaneously, coordinating plumbing repairs with septic maintenance so homeowners get comprehensive solutions instead of piecemeal fixes from multiple contractors.

Troutman and the areas approaching Lake Norman have seen significant growth. New construction mixes with established properties, creating varied service needs. New homes might have modern plumbing but still need septic maintenance education for first-time system owners. Older properties might need both plumbing upgrades and septic repairs. We serve the full spectrum, bringing the same professional service whether you’re in a brand-new lakefront home or a 50-year-old farmhouse.

Lake Norman properties—especially on the northern shores near Statesville—face strict watershed protection regulations. Failing septic systems threaten lake water quality, and homeowners must maintain systems to higher standards. We work with lakefront property owners to ensure compliance while solving plumbing issues that, if ignored, stress septic systems and accelerate failure. It’s integrated service that protects both your home and the lake.

Iredell County clay soil creates specific challenges for septic drainfields. Slow percolation rates mean systems work harder, and plumbing issues (like leaking toilets) compound the stress by overloading drainfields with excess water. When your plumber understands septic systems, repairs aren’t just about stopping leaks—they’re about protecting expensive infrastructure that costs $15,000-$25,000 to replace when it fails.

Why Locals Choose Top Notch (4.7 Stars, 173 Reviews)

We Diagnose the Root Cause—Inside or OutsideMost plumbers don’t understand septic systems. Most septic companies don’t understand plumbing.

We diagnose whether issues originate inside your home’s plumbing or outside at the septic system, and we fix both. One diagnosis, one solution, one contractor.

Those reviews represent years of serving Iredell County homeowners with reliable plumbing and septic service—showing up on time, diagnosing accurately, fixing problems completely, and charging fairly.

Licensed Plumbers Who Understand Septic SystemsPlumbing licensing requires training, testing, and continuing education. It ensures we’re qualified to work on complex water and waste systems. But understanding septic systems requires additional knowledge about soil, drainage, tanks, and drainfields. Top Notch brings both skill sets, which is rare in the industry and valuable for homeowners who need comprehensive service.

We Protect Your Septic InvestmentA septic system replacement costs $15,000-$25,000. That’s a major investment worth protecting. Leaking toilets, excessive water usage, and plumbing problems accelerate septic failure. We identify and fix these issues before they stress your drainfield, extending system life and avoiding catastrophic failures. When your plumber thinks about septic impact, simple repairs become long-term system protection.
