Serving Burlington from High Point. About 30 Minutes Away.
Burlington is the largest city in Alamance County, sitting along the I-40/I-85 corridor between Greensboro and the Triangle. We’re about 30 minutes from most Burlington neighborhoods. When you need a plumber who actually answers the phone, we’re here.
With a population approaching 64,000 residents, Burlington offers affordable housing and a central location that draws families and commuters from across the region. The median household income is around $55,000, and housing costs run 45% below the national average according to the city. It’s a working-class community where people expect honest service at fair prices.
Our family has been plumbing in the Triad since 1986. Joshua Davis and his father Larry bring over 100 years of combined experience. When your water heater quits or a pipe bursts, we answer. Day or night.
Why Burlington Homeowners Call Us
No showers. No clean dishes. No laundry. When your hot water heater fails, your whole routine grinds to a halt. And it always seems to happen at the worst possible time — early morning, before guests arrive, or in the middle of winter.
All-Star Plumbing treats no-hot-water calls as emergencies. We respond fast, diagnose the problem, and get your hot water back — often the same day you call. Serving High Point, Greensboro, Winston-Salem, and communities throughout the Triad.
We repair both tank and tankless water heaters. Gas, electric, propane — whatever you have, we work on it. And if repair isn’t the answer, we can replace your water heater quickly so you’re not without hot water for days.

Plumbing Considerations for Burlington Homes
Here’s what affects plumbing in Burlington:
- Median Home Age: 1977. Homes Now Nearly 50 Years Old.
According to Census data, the median year homes were built in Burlington is 1977. That means the typical home is approaching 50 years old. Well past the point where original plumbing needs serious attention.
What it means: Homes from the 1970s often have galvanized steel pipes (prone to corrosion after 40-50 years), water heaters replaced multiple times, and fixtures that have seen decades of use. We can assess what’s original, what’s been updated, and what needs attention now.
- Mix of Housing Types and Ages
Burlington has a diverse housing stock. About 59% single-family detached, plus apartments, duplexes, townhomes, and mobile homes. Some neighborhoods have homes from the 1940s, while others were built in the 2000s.
Our approach: We work on all housing types. Whether you have a 1950s brick ranch or a 2010 townhome, we diagnose before we recommend and give you honest options.
- Affordable Housing. Value-Conscious Homeowners.
Burlington’s housing costs run 45% below the national average. That attracts homeowners who are smart with their money and want fair pricing without unnecessary upsells.
Our approach: We give you options for every budget. If a repair makes sense, we’ll tell you. If replacement is the smarter long-term choice, we’ll explain why. No pressure.
- Textile Heritage. Older Infrastructure.
Burlington grew as a textile and manufacturing center. Many neighborhoods developed around mills and factories, with homes built in waves from the 1940s through the 1980s. Infrastructure in these areas may be older.
What we see: Galvanized pipes, cast iron drains, and original fixtures in older sections. Some homes have been updated; many haven’t. We assess what you have and prioritize what matters.
