Shreveport, Bossier City and across Caddo and Bossier parishes

Nine services, run out of the same shop since 1962

Water heaters, sewer and drain, backflow, heating and cooling, remodeling and more, for houses and for working buildings. Call and describe the problem, and we will point you to the right one below or just send someone out.

Residential

Houses in Shreveport and the parishes around it

Most calls start in a house somewhere in Shreveport, Bossier City or one of the towns around them. The older neighborhoods still have cast iron and galvanized pipe running through the walls, and the clay soil under this whole area shifts enough over the years to open a sewer joint or crack a slab. Add mature trees looking for water and you get the three calls that fill most weeks: a water heater that has quit, a drain that will not clear, and a bathroom that needs the pipe work sorted before anybody picks a tile.

Commercial

Working buildings across Caddo and Bossier parishes

The commercial side runs on the same license number and a second one. Any job over $10,000 in labor and materials needs a contractor license through the Louisiana State Licensing Board for Contractors, on top of the Journeyman and Master Plumber credentials the State Plumbing Board issues for the trade itself. Both are free to verify on their own websites. What that buys a business owner is a shop that can jet a grease line, service a rooftop unit or replace a lift station without shutting the building down to do it.

Where most calls start

The core three

Water heaters, tank and tankless

We sell and service Rheem, Ruud and State, in both tank and tankless. Carrying the brand instead of ordering it in is the difference between hot water this week and hot water next month, and it means whoever reads the age plate on your unit already knows the parts book for what is on the wall.

Emergency plumbing, 24 hours

The office runs Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, and there is a 24 hour line behind it for any day of the week. Call and describe what the water is doing. We confirm the address, tell you honestly whether it is a tonight job or one that can wait, and price it before anyone touches a fitting.

Sewer lines and drains

Root intrusion in the established neighborhoods, cast iron and galvanized pipe that has done its sixty years, and clay soil that shifts a sewer line over time. We clean, repair and replace, including lift stations, and a camera survey settles what is actually wrong before anyone digs.

Around the house

Residential plumbing

Bathroom and kitchen remodeling

Sinks, toilets, showers and drains, worked out before a single tile gets chosen. Old Shreveport houses often have cast iron and galvanized pipe behind the wall, and that gets accounted for in the plan rather than discovered halfway through the job.

Irrigation

Installation and repair, on the same clay soil that moves everything else in this area. Zones get laid out for how the ground actually behaves, and we find the heads, valves and controllers that are costing you more on the water bill than they should.

Backflow prevention

Testing and installation of the assembly that keeps what is in your line out of everybody else's. We test what the law requires on the schedule it requires, and install or repair the assembly when it fails.

Larger jobs

Commercial and larger jobs

Commercial plumbing

Licensed for it two ways: the State Plumbing Board credential every plumber on the crew carries, and the Louisiana State Licensing Board for Contractors license required above $10,000 in labor and materials. We schedule lift stations, jetting and repipes around a building that still has to open the next morning.

Heating and cooling

The heating half of the name, residential and commercial, including the rooftop units and service contracts a working building runs on. A heating fault is sometimes a gas or venting fault underneath it, which is exactly why the same shop answers both calls.

Heating and cooling in detail

High pressure water jetting

Grease and scale that a cable only bores a hole through. Jetting scours the pipe wall back to full bore instead of punching a tunnel down the middle, which is why grease-heavy lines and older sewer runs both get it rather than just a snake.
