Calabash sits right on the South Carolina and North Carolina state line, which makes it one of the most interesting communities on the Grand Strand — and one where licensing matters more than almost anywhere else in the region. Homeowners and business owners in Calabash need a plumbing contractor who is licensed in North Carolina, not just in South Carolina. James Plumbing Company holds licenses in both states, which means we can serve Calabash fully and legally without the complications that come with hiring a contractor who is only credentialed on one side of the line.
Known as the Seafood Capital of the World, Calabash has a character all its own. It is a genuine community — not a resort town, not a new development, but a real place where people live year-round alongside seasonal residents who have been coming back to their properties for generations. The plumbing stock in Calabash reflects that history. Older homes along the waterfront, seasonal cottages, a growing number of newer builds as Brunswick County’s population expands — we have worked on all of it over our 58 years of serving the Carolina coast.
Restaurant plumbing is a specialty we bring to Calabash’s well-known dining scene. High-volume commercial kitchens have specific plumbing demands — grease traps, commercial dishwasher connections, multiple sink configurations, and the kind of infrastructure that requires a contractor who has done it before. James Plumbing Company has extensive commercial plumbing experience throughout the Grand Strand and into Brunswick County, and we understand the standards and timelines that restaurant owners work with.
For residential customers in Calabash, we provide the full range of plumbing services — water heater installation and replacement, drain cleaning, toilet and faucet repair, bathroom and kitchen remodels, new construction plumbing, and 24-hour emergency service. Coastal properties have their own maintenance demands, particularly when it comes to fixtures and supply lines exposed to salt air over time. We factor that into everything we recommend and install.
Our headquarters in Little River, SC puts us minutes from Calabash — close enough to respond quickly and local enough to know the area. Family-owned since 1968, veteran-owned, and licensed in both North Carolina and South Carolina, James Plumbing Company brings the kind of credentials and commitment that a tight-knit community like Calabash deserves. If you need a licensed plumber in Calabash, NC, call us at 843-249-2685 or schedule service online. We know this corner of Brunswick County well and we are ready to put 58 years of experience to work for you.

I had to call after hours for a leak and they were there in less than 30 minutes and had it fixed in less than an hour. Even showed my husband how to prevent this leak from happening again. I will always use James Plumbing from now on. Thank you so much!! Once again we had to use James Plumbing! They are a step above the rest!! If I could give them higher than a 5 I would!Posted on Google![]()
