Lake Saint Louis Plumbing Contractor - Express Plumbing

Our Lake Saint Louis Plumber Who Actually Answers at 2 AM


Lake St Louis, MO, USA

Express Plumbing has been serving Lake Saint Louis for over two decades. We're based right here at 23 Catamaran Dr, which means when you call about a burst pipe or a water heater that quit, we're not driving 45 minutes to get to you. We know the neighborhoods around here — from the older homes near the lake to the newer builds out past Hawk Ridge. Jim's pulled permits at Lake St Louis City Hall more times than he can count, and he knows exactly what the local inspectors look for. Last winter, we replaced three frozen water heaters in one weekend after that cold snap hit. That's the kind of thing you deal with when you live and work in the same town.

WHY Lake Saint Louis CHOOSE Express Plumbing

Our shop is on Catamaran Dr, which means we're not coming from across the county when you call. Most emergency calls in Lake Saint Louis get a response within an hour — sometimes 30 minutes if we're already nearby. We've been working in this area since 1999, so we know the streets, the plumbing systems in older lakefront homes, and the quirks that come with properties built in different decades. You're calling a neighbor, not some big company that sends whoever's available.

Jim holds a master plumber license in St Charles County, and he's pulled hundreds of permits right here in Lake St Louis. That matters because local inspectors have specific things they look for, and we know what passes and what doesn't. Whether you're finishing a basement, adding a bathroom, or replacing old galvanized pipe, we do it to code the first time. No failed inspections. No callbacks to fix what should've been done right from the start.

We don't charge you extra because you're in Lake Saint Louis — you're practically next door to us. And we don't hit you with "emergency fees" when you call at 11 PM on a Saturday because your sump pump quit during a storm. The price is the price, whether it's Tuesday at noon or Sunday at midnight. We think charging people more when they're already stressed is wrong, so we don't do it.

A lot of our Lake St Louis customers have been calling us for years — some since we started back in '99. When you do honest work at a fair price, people remember. We've fixed plumbing in the same houses multiple times as families grow and systems age. We've worked on rental properties, helped folks pass inspections before selling, and installed water heaters in homes where we'd already done the bathroom rough-in five years earlier. That kind of track record doesn't happen by accident.

From quick fixes to full installs, we do the work that keeps your water running.

Emergency Plumbing Repairs

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Do you charge extra to come to Lake Saint Louis?

No. We don't charge travel fees because we're based right here in Lake St Louis. You're not paying us to drive across the county — you're a few minutes from our shop.

Are you licensed to do plumbing work in Lake Saint Louis?

Yes. Jim's a licensed master plumber in St Charles County, which covers Lake St Louis. We pull permits through Lake St Louis City Hall when required, and our work passes inspection the first time.

What's the most common plumbing problem you see in Lake Saint Louis homes?

Water heater failures and sump pump issues, especially in older lakefront properties. The humidity near the lake is tough on equipment, and we replace a lot of 10–15 year old units that finally gave out. We also see a fair amount of galvanized pipe that needs replaced in homes built in the 80s and 90s.

Do you work on weekends and holidays in Lake Saint Louis?

We're open 24/7, including weekends and holidays. Plumbing problems don't take days off, and neither do we. Call anytime and you'll get the same response and the same pricing.
