Our Outer Banks plumbing company, Action Plumbing, was started in the winter of 1999. Through long hours of hard work, our plumbing company has grown out of a garage to 7 vans and a stocked shop. We service the Outer Banks area from Corolla to South Nags Head.
Our client base includes several popular management companies, as well as local and distant homeowners. We take care of multiple commercial clients as well. Contractors and builders use our services over and over as we have established ourselves as a detail-oriented, caring construction and remodel plumbing contractor.
Our relationships are built on one customer, one service call, one project at a time. Through dedication to quality, value, and trust, we have served our customers.
Founder and owner John Osborn: “We enjoy helping people solve their plumbing problems, it’s never a good time to have one. Solving problems is what we do. There is great satisfaction in helping a customer.”
Meet Our Team
John Osborn
John, founder and owner of Action Plumbing, has called the Outer Banks home since 1994. Shortly after relocating, he earned his Master Plumber certification and has been handling construction, service, and remodeling projects ever since. “It’s all about helping people—that’s what I truly enjoy,” he says. When he’s not on the job, you might find him in his band room practicing the drums—or even performing live on occasion. Otherwise, he enjoys relaxing at home with his wife, Lynn, their two cats, Simey and Leon, and their golden retrievers, Gary and GiGi.
Teesa Belanga
Hailing from Northern Virginia but now a permanent resident of the Outer Banks, Teesa brings to Action Plumbing vast experience in customer service, management, and planning. When she’s not treating our technicians to her delicious homemade goodies, she enjoys spending quality time with her family (which includes 4 children and 3 grandchildren), dozen or more cats, and her dogs. If you don’t see her helping the wild horses or the cats, you’ll see her helping with stray dogs or other animals in need of assistance. Teesa is a true animal lover! We are pleased to have her as a member of our Action team.

His love for both the outdoors and an active lifestyle perfectly complements his hardworking and determined nature.
