Remodel & Custom Build Plumbing in Gastonia
The best value in Gastonia right now is in the older housing, and the plumbing is the part that decides whether one of those renovations lands on budget. On a house from the 1910s or 1920s, what is behind the wall is the whole question — and it is knowable before you start rather than halfway through.

2-Year Workmanship Guarantee
Every repair, replacement and remodel we complete is backed in writing. If our workmanship fails, we come back and put it right at no charge. What's covered.
Renovating mill-era and historic housing
Expect galvanised supply to need replacing. Expect venting arrangements that predate the current code to need correcting once a permit is pulled. Expect modern fixtures not to line up with old rough-in dimensions. All of it is manageable; all of it needs to be in the quote from day one.
Adding a second bathroom
The most common ask in these houses, and mostly a drainage question — the toilet has to fall to a main that can take it and the vent has to be run properly. We walk the house and tell you which locations are straightforward before a layout is committed.
Preserving what is worth keeping
Original cast-iron tubs and period fittings are often worth saving. We replace the supply, valves and waste behind them and leave the fixture, which is usually the right balance of character and reliability.
Permits and financing
Gaston County permits pulled in our name, inspections scheduled as part of the job. Wisetack financing available on larger scopes, and the workmanship guarantee is in writing.
What the housing here is like
An old mill city with a lot of genuinely early-twentieth-century housing, particularly in York Chester, alongside mid-century neighbourhoods and newer development spreading east toward Charlotte.

Reviews
What customers near Gastonia say
“This company was recommended by a neighbor and I could not be more happy with the service they provided! When we realized we had a semi serious water heater problem, Open Water Plumbing was very responsive, not only with calls and text to help me ensure the problem did not get worse but also made it a priority to get to our home to repair the issue the next day. I would happily use them again, and the price was extremely reasonable! 5 star!”
“Jacek installed my outdoor built in kitchen, unclogged my toilet (my daughter flushed down a plastic bottle) and he finished a couple other small jobs for me. He was always on time. Very easy to work with. Even if you think something is not possible, better call him first, I am pretty sure he will find the solution.”
Questions
Gastonia plumbing questions
We are renovating an older Gastonia home. What should we budget for plumbing?
Have it surveyed rather than guessed — on a house of that age the supply material, the venting and the condition of the sewer lateral are what set the number, and all three are knowable in a single visit.
Can we add a second bathroom upstairs?
Usually. Drainage decides it — where the waste can fall and how the vent runs. We walk it with you and say plainly which locations are straightforward and which are not, before the layout is fixed.
Do you pull Gaston County permits?
Yes, in our name, with inspections scheduled around your other trades and the sign-off handed to you at the end.
