Water leak? Do this first.
Shut off the water
Turn off your home's main water shutoff valve to stop the damage. If you can reach the breaker panel without stepping in water or touching anything wet, turn off the breaker for that area. If you can't, stay clear. Sparking, smoke or fire: call 911.
Call the Town if it's at the street
Town water and sewer repairs: 910-253-2655 (business hours). Describe what you see when you call.
Call a plumber
Leaks inside the home, water heaters and fixtures are the owner's job. Plumbers are listed below, Sunset Beach and Calabash first.
Check the outage map first
Sunset Beach's power is Brunswick Electric Membership Corporation (BEMC). Check the outage map before you call an electrician: if the whole street is dark, it's theirs.

Check the license
In North Carolina, plumbing, HVAC and electrical work, and building jobs of $40,000 or more, need a state-licensed contractor. Locksmiths and pest control companies are licensed too. Look the license up before you sign. Where a card says "checked with" a board, we looked it up on the board's site on the date at the bottom of the page; everything else is unchecked.
NC Board of Examiners of Plumbing, Heating & Fire Sprinkler Contractors
CAMA permit first
Docks, piers and bulkheads are "development" under the Coastal Area Management Act and need a CAMA permit. Minor CAMA permits usually go through the Town's planning and inspections office; ask the Town whether a building permit is needed too.
Businesses are listed from their own websites and licensing-board pages, checked Oct 11, 2026, Sunset Beach and Calabash first and then by town. Listing order is not a ranking and a listing is not an endorsement. Phone numbers that we could only find in third-party directories are left off. Missing someone? Suggest a contractor.
