- JSJerry SchubertNov 25, 20255.0I have been using Action Plumbing (John Osborn) for over 20 years. They came to the rescue again yesterday. I got a call that I had a leak between the water main and my house. I called Action Plumbing and explained I had a guest in the house for the holiday and they managed to come to my home and get the leak repaired that very day. Thanks again Action Plumbing!
- MLMike LeonardNov 11, 20255.0John and his son helped me with a main drain that had somehow pulled loose from the house. This was under my garage floor so they had to cut the floor, repair the pipe then fix the cement. John found the issue quickly with the high tech tools they have and the cost was lower than quoted from another plumber who had already come out twice and not found the real issue. Also enjoyed the discussion around proper septice care. Thanks John!

- LALaura AtkinsSep 2, 20255.0My husband and I could not have been more pleased with your company and especially your top notch employee, Shane.! He just finished replacing old water lines in our home and putting in a new shut off valves . He did excellent work and was so professional and polite. Being appreciative is an understatement! We will definitely be recommending your company to our friends here in Corolla and the rest of the Outer Banks! Thank you, Laura Atkins
- EMEdward MunsonNov 23, 20195.0We have a home in the Currituck Club. John and his team were on it when we had a sewer line back up. He kept us apprised of what needed to be done and got it finished in quick order so our renters were not inconvenienced at all. Highly recommend...very professional.

Can you help winterize my vacation rental home?

It can and does freeze in these areas; that is why we highly recommend winterizing your home for the winter months. We offer winterizing for plumbing systems that can help prevent your pipes from freezing and bursting!
Can you help me repair or replace my water heater?
You do not realize how much you rely on your hot water heater until you run out of hot water. If you are experiencing common signs of water heater breakdown we can help you repair, install, or replace a hot water heater.
We offer regular scheduled maintenance routines to keep your system performing optimally and also install tankless water heater models.
How can you help me fix my garbage disposal?
If your garbage disposal is not working, you should turn it off and disconnect the unit from the power source. Then, check the cavity for small objects or other obstacles. Check to see if the breaker is tripped, reconnect the unit, and try running the disposal again.
If these steps do not work, give us a call and we will schedule a quick inspection to tell you the condition of your unit and make recommendations on removal and installation if a new one is needed.
Are DIY plumbing fixes a bad idea?
Many times, the plumbing problems you see are only a hint of a much larger problem. If you overlook the root cause, you may be headed for a more serious issue down the road.
Sometimes DIY plumbing projects are best left to an experienced master plumber who ensures that your plumbing system is in top working condition.
Why is my water bill so high?
An unexpected increase in your water bill may be a sign that you have a water leak. Even if you do not see the leak there still may be one!
In the event of a higher than average utility bill, schedule an appointment with our plumbing team, and we can come out and check for a leak. If we do not find one you can use these tips to improve your home’s water efficiency.
How do I prevent water damage?
The best way to prevent water damage is to be on the lookout for water leaks and to receive regular maintenance of your plumbing system. As soon as you notice an issue, call us at Action Plumbing!
What should I do about a burst pipe?
As soon as you notice the burst pipe, shut off the water at the main valve and turn off electricity to avoid shock. If your home was built in the late 1970s to mid-1990s your plumbing system may be composed of polybutylene pipes that are prone to failure.
Action Plumbing can help you re-pipe your plumbing system and replace burst pipes.
Why is my faucet leaking?
Faucets leak for many reasons, but corroded gaskets, valves, and o-rings are the most common reasons. Sometimes the entire faucet may need to be replaced in which case we can help you select a fixture and install it in your home.
What can I do about clogged drains and toilets?
A drain snake could unblock just about any stubborn clogged toilet, shower or bathtub drain. You can use our instructions for snaking your drain to guide your process.
If that does not work, the clog may be too far down the line for you to reach. You can give us a call and our team will come out to assess your clog.
What should I do when my toilet overflows?
In the event that your toilet overflows, shut off the valve located behind the toilet. Then, clean up the water and contact us. There may be more contaminates that could cause your toilet to overflow again.
What should I do when my toilet runs until I jiggle the handle?
The handle of your toilet may be getting stuck, which leaves the flapper open. Unless the flapper is closed, the water will continue to flow. Tightening or replacing the handle may solve the issue, if not call us!
Why is my toilet leaking?
Toilets may leak for a variety of reasons. If you suspect that your toilet is leaking make sure that it is not only condensation.
