Jamie Rhew, a native of Fayetteville, NC, made the difficult decision to drop out of high school to support his family and chase his dream of owning his own business. At just 19, he laid the foundation of what would become Bluewater Plumbing Service. Initially serving the Fayetteville area, Jamie moved his family and the business to Wilmington, NC, in 2010 to be closer to the ocean.
For 13 years in the Wilmington area, Bluewater has been a family-operated company, growing to a team of more than 20 employees, which includes Jamie's brother, son, nephew and daughters. In 2020, we opened a second location in Myrtle Beach, SC, further expanding our reach. Today, our services cover a wide range, from residential to commercial needs, as well as new construction projects.
When not working, Jamie continues the family tradition of flying, a passion he inherited from his father. Spending quality time with his family, especially his grandsons, Easton and Gray who hold a special place in his heart.

Hi, I'm
They've always provided good service in a professional way. He explained it clearly and made the necessary repairs quickly. I've used them for at least 5 years and have recommended them to others.
James and Eli were most professional and helpful. They took care of the issues I contacted the company about and communicated how to resolve additional concerns. I would definitely recommend and use again.
Our Tech Mike S was very professional, arrived on time and completed the job. He is very knowledgeable about his profession and was truly a nice guy.I will request him on all my future plumbing needs.
