24/7 Emergency Plumbing

Around-the-clock emergency service dispatched for Sullivan's Island homeowners facing burst pipes, sewer backups, water heater failures, and storm and tidal flooding, day or night, weekends and holidays.

Whole-Home Repiping & Pipe Repair
Pipe repair and whole-home repiping, the Lowcountry's salt air and humidity corrode pipe from the outside in, and the region's older and historic homes often have aging galvanized, polybutylene, lead, and corroded copper worth replacing, plus water service line and leaking pipe repair.
Slab Leak Detection & Repair
Slab leak detection and repair and whole-home leak detection, many Lowcountry homes are built on slabs and raised slabs, and we locate and repair hidden leaks under the slab and behind walls before they cause damage.
Water Heaters & Tankless
Water heater repair, replacement, and installation, including tankless systems, a favorite in humidity-tight Lowcountry homes for endless hot water and a smaller footprint, plus recirculation for quick hot water.
Water Treatment
Water filtration, softening, and treatment, municipal Charleston-area water is moderately soft surface water, but island and rural wells bring iron, sulfur odor, sediment, and salt intrusion, and many homeowners want cleaner, better-tasting water; a water test shows what your home needs.
Wells & Well Pumps
Well pump and water pump service, for the many sea-island and rural-mainland homes on private wells, we install and repair well pumps, pressure tanks, and water pumps, paired with well-water treatment.
Aerobic Septic Systems
Septic and aerobic septic service, much of the Lowcountry outside city sewer is on septic, and the region's high water tables, tidal influence, and pluff-mud soils often call for aerobic systems; we install, service, and repair them and keep building lines flowing.
Drain Cleaning & Hydro Jetting
Drain cleaning and hydro jetting with camera inspection, clearing grease, sand, roots from the Lowcountry's grand live oaks, and buildup from sewer and septic lines.
Sewer Line Repair, Replacement & Cleaning
Sewer line repair and replacement and sewer service, restoring aging sewer laterals, which corrode faster where saltwater and tidal flooding reach the pipes.
Storm, Sump & Flood Water
Sump pump and crawlspace drainage service, plus backflow and backwater protection, for the tidal “sunny-day” flooding, king tides, and hurricane rains that push water into low crawlspaces and yards across the Lowcountry.
Gas Lines
Gas line installation and repair and gas pipe leak repair for tankless heaters, ranges, generators (a Lowcountry storm essential), fireplaces, and outdoor kitchens and grills.
Pool Plumbing & Leak Detection
Pool pump and pool leak service and pool leak detection, for the many Lowcountry backyard pools, we service pumps and lines and find hidden leaks.
Boilers, Fixtures, Outdoor & Disposals
Boiler service where present, plus faucets, toilets, showers, garbage disposals, and outdoor plumbing and corrosion-resistant hose bibs and outdoor showers built for the coast.
Commercial Plumbing
Commercial plumbing service for the restaurants, shops, offices, rentals, and hospitality businesses across Charleston and the Lowcountry.

Sullivan's Island's historic, oceanfront setting shapes its plumbing. Salt air and spray corrode fixtures, water heaters, and exposed pipe faster than anywhere inland, so corrosion-resistant fixtures, repiping, and maintenance matter, especially on the island's older and historic homes, which often have aging galvanized, corroded copper, or period plumbing worth careful updating. Many homes are raised against flooding, with exposed underside plumbing and outdoor showers, and storm surge, king tides, and hurricane rain are constant concerns on this exposed island.

Sullivan's Island homes are built on raised piers, crawlspaces, and slabs, as a barrier island makes essential, not basements, so we service elevated and underside plumbing, outdoor showers, and slab leaks. Summers are hot and humid; winters are mild with the rare hard freeze that can burst exposed island pipe.

Linda Burns

I highly recommend this company. They were quick and responsive in scheduling my service, and the plumber they sent out was fantastic. Sometimes it’s hard to find a plumber, but search no more. Use them! I certainly will use them again. Most importantly, their prices are very reasonable and competitive.

W P

Outstanding experience! A polite young man Mr. Amado handled a small repair for us, and everything went seamlessly. Scheduling through the call center was quick, communication was stellar, and the pricing and workmanship were top-notch. As someone who has worked in the service industry for a long time, I truly appreciate the commitment to customer service and communication training shown here. The quality of work still needs to stand the test of time, but the overall experience was 10 out of 10. I won't hesitate to use them again!

Brian Ridenour

Daniel was great!! He was very prompt and explained the workings of the new water heater. The company is awesome. Now you could find a cheaper water heater and cheaper labor but I tried one of those water heaters from the big box store and it failed after only 4 years. The ones that Benjamin Franklin sells are MADE IN THE USA instead of a foreign country. Give them a try, you won’t be sorry!

Dennis Sen

10/10, no doubt about it. Lucas was prompt, professional, and knowledgeable. We had an issue with our water heater that left us without hot water or heat this fall. He quickly diagnosed the problems, explained his findings in excellent detail, and got everything fixed. He also went the extra mile in a couple of ways I didn’t expect, which I really appreciated. I’d absolutely recommend Lucas!

Refind Vintage

We had our water heater repaired and had a new water filter system installed after the technician suggested it. He was friendly and factual. After his visit we had to have another repair man to set the water heater temperature. Now it is working fine.

Suzyn Purdy

Christian was a very kind and pleasant young man. He did an exceptional job replacing my kitchen sink faucet and incinerator. He was thorough and helped to get the smell out of our pipes I would recommend him for any job.

Larry Murphy

Our plumber, Jared was efficient and understood our issue quickly! Very respectful of us and property and we highly recommend this company.

Jeremiah Fisher

A full gas water heater installation -- quick install with courteous service. Jon Hare and Luke Stelly gave excellent advice and were finished with the install in less 3 hours (including purchasing the unit itself)! Thanks!

Tammy Spencer

Luke was awesome! I am so happy that I picked your company to do my repair! I will be using your company again. Thank you for your awesome service! I would highly recommend your company to anyone needing service done at their home!

Paula Thompson

The guys were personable, have plumbing experience and seemed knowledgeable of the situation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I repipe my historic Sullivan's Island home?

Often, yes. The island's older and historic homes frequently have aging galvanized, corroded copper, or period plumbing. We repipe and update carefully, respecting fine island homes.

Why do my fixtures corrode so fast?

Salt air and spray are relentless on a barrier island, corroding fixtures, water heater tanks, and exposed pipe. We install corrosion-resistant fixtures and repipe corroded lines.
