Ballwin Plumbing Contractor - Express Plumbing
Ballwin's Trusted Plumber for Fast Repairs and Quality Work Since 1999
Express Plumbing has been serving Ballwin since 1999. We're based in Lake Saint Louis, which puts us about 32–35 minutes from most Ballwin addresses depending on traffic and where you are in town. We know Ballwin well — from the established neighborhoods off Manchester Road to the residential areas around Vlasis Park. Jim's a licensed master plumber in St Louis County and he's worked on homes all over Ballwin. We've handled emergency repairs, water heater installations, bathroom remodels, and sump pump replacements across this area. Last winter, we replaced five water heaters in Ballwin when that cold snap caused systems to fail all over the region. When you've been working in Ballwin this long, you know the common issues in older homes, you understand what newer properties need, and you know how to get the job done efficiently without running up costs.
WHY Ballwin CHOOSE Express Plumbing
We've been fixing plumbing in Ballwin for over two decades. That means we know the older homes that might have galvanized pipe or outdated systems, and we know the newer subdivisions and what they typically need. Ballwin has a mix of properties from different eras, and we've worked on all types. Whether your home was built in the 70s or last year, we've seen the plumbing systems and know how to work with them efficiently.
Jim holds a master plumber license in St Louis County, which covers Ballwin. We pull permits when they're required and our work passes inspection the first time. Whether you're doing a bathroom remodel, replacing a water heater, or bringing old plumbing up to code, we do it right without shortcuts. No failed inspections. No callbacks because something wasn't done properly. We've been pulling permits in this area since the late 90s.
We don't charge travel fees to come to Ballwin. And we charge the same rate whether you call Wednesday at 10 AM or Saturday night at midnight. No "emergency fee" when your sump pump quits during a rainstorm. No extra charges for weekends or holidays. Some plumbers will add $150–$200 for after-hours calls. We don't believe in charging extra when people are already dealing with a problem, so we don't do it.
We've fixed plumbing in hundreds of Ballwin homes over the years. Some of our customers have called us multiple times — first for a water heater, then for a bathroom remodel, then again when they needed the sump pump replaced. When you do quality work at fair prices, people remember and they call back. We've built a reputation in Ballwin by showing up on time, fixing things right the first time, and charging fairly.
Our Services in Missouri
One stop Solutions for all PLUMBING problems
From quick fixes to full installs, we do the work that keeps your water running.
Emergency Plumbing Repairs
Burst pipe? Overflowing toilet? Water spraying from under the sink? We're on our way. Most emergencies happen when you least expect them, and we've seen it all — from frozen pipes in January to sump pumps that quit during a storm. We carry parts on the truck so we can fix most problems same-visit instead of making you wait three days for a callback.
Water Heater Installation and Replacement
If your shower's running cold or you hear banging sounds from the basement, your water heater's telling you something. We install gas and electric units, and we'll walk you through what size makes sense for your house. Most installs take half a day, and we haul off the old one so you don't have to figure out where it goes.
Bathroom and Kitchen Rough-In Plumbing
Building an addition or finishing a basement? We handle the rough-in plumbing before the drywall goes up. That means running supply lines and installing vents so everything's ready when you're set to install fixtures. We work with your contractor's schedule and make sure inspections pass the first time.
Faucet Repair and Installation
A dripping faucet wastes more water than you think — and that sound drives you crazy at night. We fix leaks, replace cartridges, and install new faucets in kitchens and bathrooms. Most repairs take under an hour. If it's shot and needs replacing, we'll tell you straight instead of patching something that'll break again next month.
Leaky Pipe and Fixture Repair
When heavy rain hits Lake Saint Louis, your sump pump better be working. We test pumps, replace failed units, and install battery backups so you're covered even if the power goes out. A working sump pump is the difference between a dry basement and a mess you'll be cleaning for weeks.
Gas Line Installation
Adding a gas line for a new stove, dryer, or tankless water heater? We run gas pipe to code and test every connection. Gas work isn't something to DIY or trust to someone without a license. We're bonded and insured specifically for this, and we pull permits when they're needed.
