Lake Norman Plumber on Call is a licensed and insured plumbing company serving Catawba, NC and the surrounding Catawba County countryside with well pump repair, 24/7 emergency plumbing, water heaters, drain cleaning, water treatment, and full residential plumbing service — with upfront pricing and honest, upfront pricing.
Catawba is proper country. Farmhouses that have been in the family for generations, brick ranches on acre lots, newer homes tucked between pastures — and nearly all of it on private well water and septic. That changes what “plumbing service” needs to mean. A plumber who spends his days in city subdivisions can swap a faucet, but when your pressure tank is short-cycling or the well quits on a Sunday, you need someone who actually works on wells every week.
That’s us. Our shop is at 1249 River Hwy in Mooresville, and our trucks work the west and north sides of Lake Norman — Sherrills Ford, Terrell, and up to Catawba — all the time. Call (704) 657-7711 any time: office hours are Monday–Saturday 9am–5pm, and the emergency line answers 24/7.
Well Water Is Our Specialty — and Catawba Runs on Wells
Most Catawba homes draw water from a private well, which means the homeowner owns the whole system: pump, pressure tank, switch, wiring, and the buried line to the house. When any link in that chain fails, you don’t get a warning letter from the water company — you get no water.
- Well pump repair & replacement — submersible and jet pumps. No water, sputtering faucets, or a pump that won’t shut off: call before it burns out completely. See our well pump service.
- Pressure tank & switch service — the most common cause of surging pressure and early pump death is a waterlogged pressure tank. We diagnose, recharge, and replace tanks and pressure switches.
- Well-to-house line repair — buried line leaks between the wellhead and the house waste water, overwork the pump, and run up the electric bill. We locate and repair them. See leak detection.
- Water testing & treatment — iron staining, sulfur smell, sediment, and hardness are everyday complaints on Catawba County well water. We install filtration and softener systems matched to a real water test, not guesswork. See water filtration.
Early warning signs worth a call: faucets spitting air, pressure that surges and drops, a pump running constantly, cloudy water after heavy rain, or an electric bill creeping up for no reason. A pressure-tank fix today is far cheaper than a burned-out pump next month.
Full Residential Plumbing for Catawba Homes
Plumbing Repair
Dripping faucets, running toilets, burst supply lines, failing shut-off valves, water hammer in old galvanized lines — Catawba’s housing stock spans a century, and we’ve worked on every era of pipe. Honest diagnosis, upfront price, done right.
Water Heaters — Tank and Tankless
No hot water on a winter morning is an emergency in our book. We repair and replace gas and electric tank heaters and install and service tankless water heaters — including the pre-filtration a tankless unit needs to survive on hard well water.
Drain Cleaning
Slow drains, backed-up tubs, main-line clogs, and the root intrusion that comes with big old trees and long drain runs. Professional equipment, no harsh chemicals. See drain cleaning.
Gas Line Services
Gas logs, ranges, grills, pool heaters, and standby generators — many rural homes run propane, and gas work is never a DIY job. Licensed, to code, tested.
Septic-Friendly Service
On septic, what goes down the drain matters more. We clear clogs and repair drains with your septic system in mind and will tell you straight when a symptom points to the septic side rather than the plumbing side.
Serving Catawba and the North-West Lake Norman Countryside
We serve the town of Catawba and the surrounding Catawba County communities — down through Sherrills Ford and Terrell along the Hwy 150 corridor, and across the broader Lake Norman region including Mooresville, Denver, and Statesville. Rural addresses are not “out of the service area” for us — they’re a normal Tuesday.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you really come out to Catawba?
Yes — Catawba and the surrounding countryside are part of our regular service area, along with Sherrills Ford and Terrell on the same side of the lake. Rural addresses, long driveways, and well systems are normal work for us, not exceptions.
My well stopped producing water. What should I do first?
Check the pressure switch and the well breaker first — a tripped breaker or stuck switch is the cheapest fix there is. If the breaker trips again or the pump hums without pumping, stop and call (704) 657-7711. Repeatedly resetting a failing pump can finish it off.
How much does a plumber cost in Catawba, NC?
It depends on the job, so we don’t quote blind. We diagnose, then give you the complete price before any work begins — flat-rate, so the quote doesn’t grow if the job takes longer.
Can you treat the iron and sulfur smell in my well water?
Yes. Iron staining and sulfur (rotten-egg) odor are among the most common well water complaints in Catawba County. We start with a water test, then install the right combination of filtration, oxidation, or softening for what’s actually in your water.
Do you offer emergency service in Catawba?
Yes — the emergency line answers 24/7 at (704) 657-7711, including weekends and holidays, for burst pipes, no-water well emergencies, failed water heaters, and gas concerns.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Lake Norman Plumber on Call is a licensed and insured North Carolina plumbing contractor, and every job is done to code.
