“Fantastic company! Jack was honest, professional and extremely knowledgeable. He explained everything that was wrong in great detail. Will definitely be calling him for any future plumbing needs.”
Remodel & Custom Build Plumbing in Lake Wylie
Lake Wylie remodels split between updating 1970s and 1980s River Hills homes and building out the outdoor living that lake properties are bought for. Both need the outdoor plumbing designed as a system rather than added one fixture at a time.

Older lake homes
River Hills-era houses often need supply replacement as part of a remodel. Doing it while the walls are open costs a fraction of doing it afterwards, and it is the single biggest improvement most of these houses can have.
Outdoor living
Outdoor showers, kitchens, pool house bathrooms and dock supply — designed with an isolation valve inside the conditioned space and a single drain-down point, so winterisation is something that actually gets done.
Walk-out basements
Common on these lots. A bathroom or wet bar below the sewer line needs an ejector system, which affects layout and needs planning before framing rather than after.
Boat house and dock plumbing
Supply, an outdoor shower and a sink at the dock, with the backflow protection required on anything drawing near the lake — and built so the whole run empties before the first freeze.
What the housing here is like
Lakefront and near-lake housing spanning the 1970s River Hills era through to current construction. Docks, boat houses, irrigation and outdoor plumbing everywhere.

“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.”
Lake Wylie plumbing questions
Can you plumb an outdoor shower at the dock?
Yes, with the proper backflow protection and designed to drain from one accessible point before winter. That last part is what separates a shower you use for years from one that splits the first cold snap.
Should we repipe our River Hills home during a remodel?
If the original supply is still in it, yes. The walls are already open, which is where most of the cost of a repipe otherwise goes.
Can we add a bathroom to the walk-out basement?
Usually. Below the sewer line it needs an ejector system, which affects the layout and is far easier to plan before framing than after.
