What we can help with
Water heater repair and installation
Heaters wear out, leak or stop making hot water, and a tank unit can be repaired or replaced. Some owners move to tankless when they replace. Call and tell us what the unit is doing, and we go through the options with you.
Drain cleaning
When the sink holds water, the tub gurgles or the main line will not carry everything out, a plumber can clear the blockage. Call and tell us which drain it is.
Leak detection and slab leaks
A hidden leak can show as a wet wall, a damp slab or a soggy patch in the yard. Call and say where it shows, and a plumber finds the leak and repairs the pipe.
Sewer line repair
Roots, cracks and sagging sections can all cut off a sewer line. The fix ranges from clearing roots to repairing a section or laying a new line. Call to describe the symptoms.
Repiping and water lines
Call and describe your plumbing, whether a few feet of supply pipe or the whole house needs renewing. A line that has failed between the meter and the house can be replaced as well.
Toilet, faucet and fixture repair
Fixtures from toilets to disposals can be repaired or swapped out. Call and name the one that is giving trouble, and a plumber takes it from there.
Permits and licenses for plumbing work
Concord’s own permit page sends building work to Cabarrus County building code officials, and the county’s Construction Standards office handles inspections and permitting for every area inside Cabarrus County. For plumbing in a Concord home, that county office is the one to ask, not City Hall.
The State Board of Examiners of Plumbing, Heating and Fire Sprinkler Contractors advises that the contractor should get the building permits, and that your local inspection department can say whether one is required. Settle it with the plumber before work starts.
The Board licenses plumbing contractors by the kind of building. A P-II license covers a detached single-family house, and a P-I license covers any building. Its public license search lets you look a plumber up by license number, company name, name or phone.
When Concord homes were built
Concord’s homes were built across many years. The median year is 1997 or earlier, with 28.8 percent built before 1980 and 15.7 percent before 1960. If your house is different, tell us its build year when you call.

Lake water and the Concord system
Concord’s water is surface water, drawn from Lake Don T. Howell and Lake Fisher and treated at two plants, Coddle Creek and Hillgrove. Some customers inside Concord’s service area get their water directly from Kannapolis, because of how the system is laid out.
Concord Water Resources maintains about 780 miles of water main and roughly 46,000 meters, which is the system your own supply line connects to at the meter.
Free plumbing tools
Five free tools are on the tools pages, and the serial number decoder is the one that dates a heater from its label. The water heater size calculator gives a first-hour rating and a tank size, and the tankless flow calculator shows how much flow a unit must supply. Concord’s winters are weighed against your pipes by the freeze risk checker, and a build year goes into the sewer line age checker to suggest likely materials.
Frequently asked questions
Is the water line from the meter to my house mine to repair?
Yes. Concord Water Resources looks after the line up to the meter, and from the meter to the house the customer maintains it. The leak detection page has more on that stretch of pipe.
Has Concord found lead service lines?
Not so far. Concord Water Resources reports none in its field investigations, and the repiping page says more about the service line inventory the city publishes.
Does a private water system need its backflow assembly tested?
Yes, if it has a required backflow assembly. Concord asks the customer to test and maintain each required assembly on a private water system, and a certified tester does the testing. The fixture repair page covers the details.
