A reputation for excellence built over 40 years in the Upstate

Connie Smith founded CB Smith Plumbing in 1982 with a model built around three things: skilled licensed plumbers, honest customer relationships, and consistent quality on every job regardless of size. She understood that a plumbing company’s reputation is built one service call at a time, and that the only way to earn long-term trust in a community is to treat every customer’s home the way you would treat your own. That philosophy shaped everything that followed. It is why CB Smith developed a team of technicians who stayed, built expertise, and became familiar faces in Spartanburg neighborhoods over decades. It is why our customers do not just call us back, they send their children and grandchildren to us. And it is why, more than 40 years later, CB Smith Plumbing remains a locally owned, locally operated plumbing company with no franchise behind it and no outside investors dictating how we work. When you call CB Smith, you are calling a company that has been part of Spartanburg since before most of the homes we now service were built.

Plumbers Spartanburg, SC can count on, for every job

If you live or work in Spartanburg or any of the surrounding counties, chances are you have heard of CB Smith Plumbing and our founder, Connie Smith. Connie assembled our first plumbing team in 1982 with one goal: provide high-quality, competitively priced plumbing services to every home and business in her community. Her model emphasized exceptional customer service, long-term employee retention, and workmanship that holds up for decades, not just until the next service call. Four decades of operating that way produces a very specific kind of reputation. Customers who called us for a water heater in 1995 are calling us today for a sewer line. Builders who used CB Smith on their first project are still specifying us on new construction across Greenville and Cherokee Counties. Healthcare facilities trust us with certified medical gas line installation because our track record speaks for itself. That is not something a newer company or a national franchise can replicate, no matter how much they spend on advertising. It is earned, one job at a time, over 40 years of showing up and getting it right.
Decades after Connie Smith first opened the doors, her vision of a dependable, community-rooted plumbing company that locals can always rely on has grown into one of the most recognized plumbing names in Upstate South Carolina.

About Spartanburg, SC

Spartanburg, the seat of South Carolina’s county of the same name, was founded in 1787 and incorporated in 1831. Named after the Spartan Regiment of the Revolutionary War, the city built its early identity around textile manufacturing and rail travel, the latter earning it the nickname “Hub City” for the wheel-hub shape formed by the railroad lines surrounding it. Spartanburg is also known as “Sparkle City” and “The Burg,” and its civic motto, “Always Doing,” reflects the industrious character the city has maintained across more than two centuries. Today, Spartanburg is home to a growing concentration of higher education institutions, including Wofford College, Converse University, Spartanburg Community College, USC Upstate, and Spartanburg Methodist College. The Carolina Panthers hold their annual NFL training camp at Wofford College each summer, bringing regional and national attention to the city. Spartanburg also serves as the corporate headquarters for the Denny’s restaurant chain and Milliken and Company, a global manufacturer of textiles and specialty chemicals with deep roots in the Upstate economy. The residential housing stock across Spartanburg reflects the city’s long history. Neighborhoods built during the textile boom of the early and mid-20th century contain homes with original or partially original plumbing systems, many of which have never been fully assessed or updated. CB Smith Plumbing has been working inside those homes since 1982, and our team understands the specific plumbing challenges that Spartanburg’s older neighborhoods present better than any company operating in this market. Whether you live in a historic district home near downtown, a newer subdivision in the surrounding county, or a commercial property anywhere across Spartanburg, Greenville, or Cherokee Counties, CB Smith Plumbing is the licensed plumbing team built for this community.
ABOUT US

What Spartanburg homeowners need to know about their most common plumbing problems

Knowing what a plumbing service actually involves, and when to call for it, helps you make faster, smarter decisions when something goes wrong in your home.

Drain cleaning and hydro-jetting in Spartanburg, SC. Over-the-counter chemical drain cleaners are corrosive to older pipe materials and rarely address the actual blockage. They temporarily dissolve enough organic material to restore partial flow, then the problem returns, often worse. CB Smith Plumbing uses professional-grade hydro-jetting to clear lines completely, including grease accumulation, soap buildup, and tree root intrusion that chemical products cannot reach.

Leak detection and repair in Spartanburg, SC. Hidden water leaks are easy to miss until the damage is already extensive. Water migrating inside a wall cavity or beneath a floor can saturate framing and promote mold growth over months before any visible sign appears at the surface. CB Smith Plumbing locates the source accurately before any exploratory demolition takes place, minimizing repair scope and protecting your finishes.

Sewer line repair and replacement in Spartanburg, SC. Root intrusion, pipe corrosion, bellied sections, and joint separation all compromise a sewer line’s ability to move waste effectively. The consequences of a full sewer line backup inside a structure are severe and immediate. CB Smith Plumbing performs sewer line camera inspections, targeted repairs, and full replacements across Spartanburg, Greenville, and Cherokee Counties, coordinating all required permits under the South Carolina Plumbing Code.

Backflow prevention and testing in Spartanburg, SC. Backflow occurs when a pressure drop causes contaminated water to reverse into your clean supply line, introducing bacteria or chemicals into the water used for drinking and cooking. CB Smith Plumbing is certified to install, test, and maintain backflow prevention assemblies and handles annual certification reporting for commercial clients across all three counties.

Call CB Smith Plumbing at (864) 574-4275 to schedule any of these services or discuss a plumbing issue you have not seen addressed here.

Plumbing services in Spartanburg, SC: residential, commercial, and new construction

Most plumbing problems in Spartanburg homes start small and get expensive when they are ignored. A slow drain becomes a full backup. A dripping faucet becomes a corroded valve. A water heater running past its service life becomes a flooded utility room. CB Smith Plumbing handles every stage of residential plumbing, from the minor repairs that prevent bigger problems to the major replacements that restore full function to your home.

  • Drain line cleaning and clearing, including professional hydro-jetting for stubborn clogs, grease buildup, and tree root intrusion in sewer lines
  • Leak detection and repair for pinhole leaks, joint failures, and hidden water loss inside walls and under slabs
  • Faucet and fixture repair and full replacement, including kitchen, bathroom, and outdoor fixtures
  • Shower and bathtub repair, installation, and refinishing
  • Water heater repair and replacement for both traditional tank units and tankless systems
  • Toilet repair and installation, including running toilets, rocking bases, and full replacements
  • Slab leak detection, repair, and complete re-piping for homes with under-slab pipe failures
  • Water and sewer line installation, repair, and emergency service
  • Sump pump installation, maintenance, and emergency repair
  • Drain installation for new and remodeled spaces
  • Backflow prevention device installation and annual certification testing
  • Full bathroom and kitchen remodeling plumbing

A plumbing failure in a commercial facility is not just an inconvenience, it is a liability. Clogged drains, gas line issues, and backflow contamination in a commercial setting carry operational, regulatory, and safety consequences that go far beyond the pipe itself. CB Smith Plumbing has served commercial clients across Spartanburg, Greenville, and Cherokee Counties since 1982, and our team understands what it takes to resolve commercial plumbing problems quickly and to code.

  • Commercial drain line cleaning and clearing with hydro-jetting for high-volume drain systems
  • Gas line installation, repair, and extension for commercial kitchens, equipment, and facilities
  • Certified medical gas line installation for healthcare facilities requiring compliant gas systems
  • Scheduled plumbing maintenance programs to prevent disruptions before they happen
  • Commercial backflow prevention installation, testing, and annual certification

Getting the plumbing right during construction is far less expensive than correcting it afterward. CB Smith Plumbing works with residential builders, commercial developers, and homeowners managing their own builds across Upstate South Carolina, coordinating every phase of the plumbing system from design through final inspection.

  • Full plumbing design input and rough-in for new residential and commercial construction
  • Coordination with general contractors and inspectors through all required phases under the South Carolina Plumbing Code
  • Slab work, underground water and sewer line installation, and above-slab rough-in
  • Complete fixture finish and final connections
  • Remodeling and renovation plumbing for bathroom additions, kitchen reconfiguration, and full-gut renovations

Not sure which category your project falls into? Call CB Smith Plumbing at (864) 574-4275 and we will walk you through exactly what your job requires.

When to call a licensed plumber in Spartanburg, SC and why timing matters

Most plumbing problems in Spartanburg homes do not announce themselves loudly. They develop slowly and quietly until the damage is already expensive. A dripping faucet, a slow drain, or a water heater running past its service life all seem manageable until they are not, and the gap between a minor repair and a major one is almost always a matter of how quickly you act.

Drain problems are one of the most common calls we receive across Spartanburg, Greenville, and Cherokee Counties, and they are almost always more advanced than they appear. A slow drain is a partial blockage in progress. Left alone, it becomes a full backup, and a full backup inside a finished home means water damage, subfloor damage, and sanitation hazards that cost far more to address than a professional drain cleaning would have.

Older Spartanburg homes, particularly those built before 1970, carry an additional layer of risk. Galvanized steel pipe corrodes from the inside out over decades, gradually restricting water flow and weakening at the joints long before any visible sign appears at the surface. If your home is in that age range and has never had a professional plumbing inspection, you are likely operating without a clear picture of what your pipes actually look like inside.

Do not wait for a manageable problem to become a structural one. Call CB Smith Plumbing at (864) 574-4275 to schedule a diagnostic visit or plumbing inspection across Spartanburg and the surrounding counties.

Frequently asked questions about plumbing services in Spartanburg, SC

Plumbing costs in Spartanburg vary significantly by job type and scope. A standard drain clearing or faucet repair typically falls between 100 and 350 dollars. Water heater replacement, sewer line repair, slab leak service, and new construction rough-in involve substantially more labor and materials and are quoted individually before work begins. CB Smith Plumbing provides a clear, written estimate for every job with no hidden line items. Call (864) 574-4275 to discuss your specific situation and get an accurate quote.
Same-day appointments are available most days for standard residential plumbing calls across Spartanburg, Greenville, and Cherokee Counties. We structure our schedule to accommodate urgency, because most plumbing problems do not improve with time. For active emergencies, call (864) 574-4275 directly and we will do everything possible to have a licensed technician at your property the same day.
Yes. CB Smith Plumbing holds South Carolina Master Plumber License #M116092 and carries full liability insurance on all work performed. Every technician we send to your home or commercial property is credentialed, trained, and covered. You are not hiring a handyman or an unlicensed subcontractor when you call CB Smith.
CB Smith Plumbing serves Spartanburg County, Greenville County, Cherokee County, and the NC Foothills region. Communities we regularly cover include Boiling Springs, Moore, Duncan, Lyman, Inman, Cowpens, Greer, Roebuck, Woodruff, and Gaffney. If you are unsure whether we cover your specific address, call (864) 574-4275 and we will confirm before you book.
Most significant plumbing work in Spartanburg County requires a permit from the applicable building inspections authority before work can legally begin. This includes water heater replacements, sewer line installation and repair, new construction rough-in, and major fixture modifications. All permitted work must comply with the South Carolina Plumbing Code and pass required inspections before sign-off. CB Smith Plumbing manages permit coordination and inspection scheduling as part of the job where required, so you do not have to navigate that process yourself.
The most common indicators of a slab leak in Spartanburg homes include warm or damp areas on a concrete floor, the audible sound of running water when no fixtures are in use, unexplained increases in your monthly water bill, new cracks appearing in tile or hardwood flooring, and visible moisture migrating up through the slab. Slab leaks cause serious structural damage when left unaddressed, and the longer they run, the more the repair scope expands. Call CB Smith Plumbing at (864) 574-4275 for a diagnostic visit if you notice any of these signs.
Call now. A slow drain is a partial blockage in progress, and it will not resolve on its own. Over-the-counter chemical drain cleaners are corrosive to older pipe materials, rarely address the actual cause, and frequently leave the underlying blockage intact. CB Smith Plumbing uses professional drain snaking and hydro-jetting equipment to clear lines completely, removing the buildup that is causing the restriction rather than temporarily masking it. Treating a slow drain early prevents a full backup, potential sewer line damage, and the water damage that follows an overflow inside your home.
Not necessarily, but it does need attention. Rumbling and popping sounds from a water heater almost always indicate sediment accumulation at the bottom of the tank, a natural result of minerals settling out of the water supply over years of use. A professional flush and deliming service resolves this in many cases. However, if the unit is more than 10 to 12 years old, if the sounds persist after maintenance, or if you are also experiencing inconsistent hot water or visible corrosion around the unit, replacement is likely the more economical long-term decision. CB Smith Plumbing will inspect the unit thoroughly and give you an honest recommendation before suggesting anything.
Yes, and we have since 1982. Our commercial plumbing services in Spartanburg include scheduled drain maintenance programs, gas line installation and repair, commercial backflow prevention testing and certification, and certified medical gas line installation for healthcare facilities. Our residential services cover everything from a single faucet replacement to a full re-pipe. We are equipped and licensed for both, under the same SC License #M116092, with the same standard of work applied on every job regardless of size.
Backflow occurs when a sudden drop in water pressure causes contaminated water to reverse direction and enter your clean supply line. The contamination can include bacteria, chemicals, irrigation system runoff, or other pathogens, all of which can reach the water you use for drinking and cooking without any visible sign at the tap. A backflow prevention assembly stops this from happening by creating a physical barrier against reverse flow. Many local governments in South Carolina require annual inspection and certification of these devices, particularly for commercial and multi-unit properties. CB Smith Plumbing is certified to install, test, and certify backflow prevention assemblies and handles the required annual reporting for commercial clients. If you are unsure whether your property requires testing, call us and we will walk you through it.
CB Smith Plumbing has a dedicated new construction and remodeling plumbing division that has been active since the company’s founding in 1982. We coordinate full plumbing rough-in for new residential and commercial builds across Spartanburg, Greenville, and Cherokee Counties, working with builders and contractors through every required inspection phase under the South Carolina Plumbing Code. For remodeling projects, we handle complete bathroom and kitchen plumbing reconfigurations, drain relocations, fixture additions, and all associated rough-in and finish work. We can be brought in at the design phase or at any point during construction.
For most homes in good condition, a professional plumbing inspection every one to two years provides adequate visibility into the system’s overall health. Homes built before 1970, properties with known galvanized or cast-iron pipe, and any building with a history of recurring drain problems, low water pressure, or unexplained water bill increases benefit from more frequent assessment. A CB Smith plumbing inspection covers pipe condition, water pressure at multiple points, fixture function, drain flow rates, water heater performance, and visible signs of corrosion or leakage. Call (864) 574-4275 to schedule one.
Shut off the water supply to the affected area first, or shut off the main supply valve to the property if the source of the problem is not immediately clear. This limits water damage while you wait for help. Then call CB Smith Plumbing at (864) 574-4275 directly. Do not fill out a web form during an active emergency, call the number so we can dispatch a licensed technician to your property as quickly as possible. We will guide you through any additional steps to take while we are on the way.
