About Clemmons 24/7 Plumbing
Clemmons 24/7 Plumbing is a plumbing service for homes and small businesses in Clemmons, NC and nearby towns. We would rather you know how we work than take our word for it.
This page covers what a call looks like, how to check any plumber's licence, how pricing works and what we do not do.
What a call to us looks like
You call (336) 453-0472 at any hour. The dispatcher asks for your address and ZIP, and asks what you see, hear or smell. If water is moving, the first thing we do is help you shut it off.
Then a licensed plumber is scheduled. Same-day appointments are available when the schedule allows, and emergency calls are dispatched around the clock. We do not promise an arrival time, because traffic, the previous job and the weather change it.
On site, the plumber looks before recommending anything. Depending on the problem, that can mean a drain machine, a sewer camera, a pressure gauge or acoustic listening gear. The plumber then explains what is wrong, what the fix is and what it costs.
How to verify any plumber before you hire
- Ask for the licence holder's nameA legitimate plumbing contractor can tell you who holds the licence and under what class.
- Search the public lookupThe North Carolina State Board of Examiners of Plumbing, Heating and Fire Sprinkler Contractors runs a public search at public.nclicensing.org/Public/Search. Its main site is nclicensing.org.
- Check the classClass I covers all structures. Class II covers single-family detached homes. For a house, either can apply. For a shop or apartment building, you need Class I.
- Keep the written priceAsk for the price in writing before work starts, and compare it to any second opinion item by item.
Why the law cares about plumbing licences
North Carolina General Statute 87-21 requires a licence to engage in the business of plumbing, heating or fire sprinkler contracting. The aim is to keep work that touches water supply, drains and gas lines in the hands of people examined on the State Plumbing Code.
The code is state adopted and based on the International Plumbing Code framework. Manufacturer instructions for water heaters and fixtures apply too. A plumber who ignores either can create a leak, a venting problem or a failed inspection.

A clear price before work starts
We do not post prices online, because the same symptom can come from a cheap cause or an expensive one. What we do promise is that the plumber explains the price before work starts, and that you can say no.
Price depends on access to the pipe, the parts, the time of day and how much of the system is affected. Ask the plumber to separate labor from parts, and to say what happens if the first repair does not solve the problem. Homeowners policies often cover sudden accidental water damage but not the failed part or normal wear, so read your policy.
What we do not do
We do not respond to gas leaks. If you smell gas, leave the building and call your gas utility or 911 first.
We do not decide whether your job needs a permit. The Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Inspections Division at 336-727-2624 handles plumbing permits for Clemmons and Lewisville, and we tell you to ask them. We also do not pump septic tanks or repair drain fields, which are separate specialties, and we cannot say what is wrong with a pipe until we have seen it.
We do not give a diagnosis over the phone as a promise. A description helps us bring the right tools, but the plumber's visit is what confirms the cause.
How to check any plumber's license in North Carolina
North Carolina General Statute 87-21 requires a license to engage in the business of plumbing, heating or fire sprinkler contracting. The North Carolina State Board of Examiners of Plumbing, Heating and Fire Sprinkler Contractors runs a public license search, so you can look up a contractor before you hire anyone.
Class I licenses cover all structures, and Class II licenses cover single-family detached homes. If a plumber's class does not match your building, ask how the work will be done before you agree to it.
That advice applies to us too. Ask the dispatcher any licensing question when you call (336) 453-0472, and check the board's search yourself if you want to see it in writing.
