EXCELLENT Based on 231 reviews Posted on Cynthia CampbellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We've been so pleased with Brian and Kayden's plumbing repairs, and recently they connected a new bathroom vanity for us. They stayed late in order to complete the job. We can always count on getting good service and we recommend them to others.Posted on James CombsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We just had Glenn and Dave to the house to perform the tankless hot water flush and inspection service. This team is outstanding. They arrived on time , explained everything that they were doing and even fixed a minor issue with the flushing valve that was not right from the original install. It was refreshing to meet professionals that are also very pleasant to speak with. I'm very pleased with the work they performed and would absolutely recommend Carolina Plumbing and will have them back when the water heater needs service again. Thank you to both Glenn and Dave. Much appreciated!Posted on Jimmy BellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I discovered I had no water late on Saturday, and within a few minutes- I had a plumber on the way. It was the pressure switch and tank that was the issue. He got the water on again and returned early Sunday morning to replace the defective parts. I was texted before each trip and they were prompt. I want to add this was the hottest weather we’ve had and they worked in some rough conditions! I would recommend them to anyone, fantastic people and excellent customer service!Posted on Kat FarleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Carolina Plumbing did a fantastic job replacing my well tank! Great price, great customer service, and great work - and they got it done fast! They are my go-to now for all my plumbing needs. Thank you!Posted on Erica HTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fast and friendly service. Great business!Posted on Richard TyndallTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Back in 2020, Glenn from Carolina Plumbing saved the day with my pressure tank. He was there the same day, quickly diagnosed the problem, and offered both immediate and long-term solutions. He even returned that very day to complete the permanent repair, handling everything with efficiency and professionalism. His clear explanations and courteous demeanor made it obvious he'd be my plumber for life. In 2023, when my water treatment system failed, they were just as responsive and fixed it rapidly. And this year, during a bathroom renovation hiccup, Glenn and his team stepped in to install a bathtub and a tankless water heater. They expertly coordinated with Mebane Electric and Enbridge Gas, ensuring seamless service and no hot water interruptions. Their speed, communication, and dedication to customer satisfaction are unmatched. For any plumbing needs, Carolina Plumbing is the only call you need to make.Posted on Ron ClarkTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been doing business with Carolina Plumbing for over 30 years, and can speak to the company, and their staff from many first hand experiences. Rick, who started the company is a wonderful, very honest man with the highest integrity. Glenn, who is now running things, is made from the same cloth. They have always been very dependable, and forthright with their estimates, and more importantly with their quality workmanship. They are very dependable with regard to time slots on arrival times. Last, their office support staff is absolutely wonderful, and very courteous, and professional. I cannot recommend them highly enough for those of you who want to establish a relationship with a dependable, forthright plumbing company. Ron Clark
Why Is There No Water to My House? Understanding the Issue
When your water heater fails, you need fast, reliable service from a team you trust. At Carolina Plumbing and Water Systems, we specialize in water heater repair for homes and businesses across Mebane, Burlington, Durham, and surrounding communities. Whether it’s no hot water, strange noises, or a leaking tank, our licensed plumbers diagnose issues quickly and restore comfort with precision and care.
A simple system issue inside the home
A problem with your well or pump
A municipal water supply disruption
Understanding where the problem starts helps you decide the next steps.
3 Simple Troubleshooting Tips Any Homeowner Can Do
Below are three beginner-friendly checks that solve many “No Water to My House” situations without needing tools.
1. Check Multiple Fixtures
Before assuming your entire home is out of water, test:
Kitchen faucet
Bathroom faucets
Shower
Outside spigots
If only one fixture has no water, the issue may be a clogged aerator or localized valve—an easy fix for our plumbers.
2. Confirm Your Main Water Valve Is Fully Open
Accidentally bumping or partially closing a valve happens more often than you think.
Locate your home’s main shutoff valve—usually:
Where the main water line enters the house
In a basement, crawlspace, utility closet, or near the pressure tank
Make sure the valve is completely open. If it’s even halfway closed, water pressure can drop dramatically.
If you’re unsure, our licensed plumbers can inspect it.
3. Reset Your Well Pump Breaker (For Well Water Homes)
If you’re on a well system, head to your electrical panel.
Look for the breaker labeled:
“Pump”
“Well”
“Pressure Tank”
Turn it off, wait 10 seconds, then turn it back on. If the system restarts and water returns—great! If the breaker trips again, stop immediately and call us.
Our plumbers can diagnose electrical and pump issues safely.
Need help after hours? We’ve got you covered. Our emergency plumbing services are available nights, weekends, and holidays because plumbing issues don’t wait, and neither do we.
As a locally owned and operated business, we take pride in serving our neighbors with integrity. We believe in clear communication, upfront pricing, and treating every home like it’s our own.
3 Common Problems That Could Be Causing No Water to Your House
If your quick checks don’t restore water, the problem may be beyond DIY territory.
1. Well Pump Failure
A failing or burned-out well pump is one of the most common causes of total water loss for rural homeowners. This requires professional diagnosis and replacement.
2. Pressure Switch or Pressure Tank Failure
A faulty pressure switch can prevent your pump from turning on, while a waterlogged pressure tank can cause system shutdowns.
Both issues require a trained technician to repair safely.
3. Frozen or Damaged Main Water Line
In colder months, pipes leading into your home can freeze—blocking water entirely. Cracked or burst lines can also cut water supply and lead to flooding.
If you suspect this, turn off your water (if available) and call our team immediately.
