For over 30 years, Fort Charle Plumbing has been the name that Charleston, South Carolina homeowners, business owners, and property managers trust when plumbing matters most. From the moment we opened our doors in 1990, we made a single promise to this community — to deliver honest, professional, and high-quality plumbing services that stand the test of time.
Today, that promise is still at the heart of everything we do.
We are a full-service residential and commercial plumbing company headquartered in the heart of Charleston at 99 Spring St, Charleston, SC 29403. With a team of 50 highly skilled plumbing professionals, a fleet of 10 fully equipped service vans, and a service network that spans Charleston and the entire Lowcountry region, we have grown into one of the most respected and recognized plumbing companies in all of South Carolina.
Our 4.9 out of 5 star rating — earned from over 6,347 verified customer reviews — is not just a number. It is a reflection of three decades of showing up, doing the work right, and treating every customer like a neighbor. Because in Charleston, that's exactly what you are.
Fort Charle Plumbing was founded in 1990 with a simple but powerful vision — to build a plumbing company that the people of Charleston, SC could truly rely on. A company built on integrity, craftsmanship, and genuine care for the community it serves.
In those early days, we were a small operation with big dreams and an unshakeable work ethic. We took on every job — large and small — with the same level of dedication and attention to detail. We showed up on time, we did the work right the first time, and we stood behind every plumbing service we provided.
Word spread quickly throughout Charleston's neighborhoods and surrounding communities. Homeowners in South of Broad recommended us to their neighbors in Harleston Village. Families in West Ashley referred us to friends in Mount Pleasant. Business owners in North Charleston connected us with commercial plumbing clients throughout the region.
As Charleston grew and evolved over the decades, so did Fort Charle Plumbing. We expanded our team, invested in cutting-edge plumbing technology and equipment, extended our service area across the greater Lowcountry, and continuously updated our certifications and training to stay at the absolute forefront of the plumbing industry.
Through economic shifts, hurricanes, development booms, and the unique challenges that come with serving a historic coastal city, we remained a constant — a plumbing company that Charleston could always count on.
Today, Fort Charle Plumbing stands as a proud pillar of the Charleston business community, serving thousands of customers every year across more than 13 cities and communities throughout South Carolina's Lowcountry region.
Charleston is not just where we work — it is where we live, raise our families, and call home. Our team members are deeply embedded in this community. We walk the same streets, visit the same landmarks, and care deeply about the health, safety, and wellbeing of every person who calls Charleston and the surrounding region home.
