LSC Plumbing Inc.

LSC Plumbing Inc. holds a Virginia Class C contractor license with a plumbing specialty, first issued in January 2024. Its site gives Mechanicsville as its location but prints no street address, and Google lists it as a service-area plumber with no storefront to visit. The site calls the company "Locally owned and operated". Its Facebook page says the team has more than 15 years of hands-on experience in the trade.

Emergency work is the first thing the site sells. It says the company is open 24 hours a day, every day, for burst pipes, severe leaks and backed-up sewer lines, and its advice for an emergency is to shut off the main water valve and then call. Its FAQ says a plumber can usually arrive within 30 to 60 minutes in the Richmond and Mechanicsville areas and that regular calls usually get a same-day or next-day appointment. Those are the company's estimates, not times we checked.

Beyond emergencies, the site lists repairs from leaky faucets to pipe repair, hidden-leak detection, drain cleaning, tank and tankless water heater work, and fixture installs for kitchens and baths. It also lists plumbing for bathroom and kitchen remodels, new construction, and commercial clients such as restaurants and office buildings. Its project gallery shows bathroom renovations, shower, tub, toilet and vanity installs, crawl space work and a main water line replacement.

A Class C license matters for bigger jobs. Under Virginia law, a Class C contractor may take single contracts over $1,000 and under $30,000, with a yearly total under $250,000. For a large remodel, check that the written estimate fits that limit. The site says it gives free written estimates before any work starts.

The site header carries a second number, (252) 576-8280. That is a North Carolina area code, and the Facebook page says the company serves both the Richmond area and the Outer Banks of North Carolina. For work in Hanover County, use the 804 number.
