Top-rated plumbers in Concord, NC

Concord is the Cabarrus County seat and the second most populous city in the Charlotte metro area, with 105,240 residents in the 2020 census. It was settled around 1750 and incorporated in 1806, and it became a textile center in the late 1800s. Since the 1970s it has expanded westward toward Charlotte through annexations.

That range of ages shows up in the housing. Older homes near the center tend to have older plumbing materials, such as galvanized supply lines and cast-iron drains, while the newer subdivisions on the Charlotte side are more likely to have PEX or copper and water heaters approaching their replacement years.
