Express Plumbing has been serving Maryland Heights since 1999. We're based in Lake Saint Louis, which puts us about 28–30 minutes from most Maryland Heights addresses depending on traffic. We know Maryland Heights well — from the residential neighborhoods off Dorsett Road to the commercial properties near the airport. Jim's a licensed master plumber in St Louis County and he's worked on both residential and commercial properties all over Maryland Heights. We've fixed emergency leaks, replaced water heaters, handled bathroom remodels, and done commercial plumbing for office buildings and retail spaces. Last summer, we replaced four water heaters in Maryland Heights properties in one week after systems failed during that heat wave. When you've been working in Maryland Heights this long, you know the local building requirements, you understand what different properties need, and you know how to get the job done efficiently.
From quick fixes to full installs, we do the work that keeps your water running.

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.

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.

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.
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.
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.

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.
Call and Get Honest Answers
When you call (314) 807-8460, you're talking to us directly. We ask what's happening and tell you honestly whether it needs immediate attention or if it can wait. Since we're about 24 miles away in Lake St Louis, we can usually get to Maryland Heights same-day — often within an hour or two for emergencies. We'll tell you when to expect us, and we show up on time.
We Figure Out What's Wrong and Quote It
We arrive with a fully stocked truck and diagnose the problem. Whether it's residential or commercial, whether it's a leaking pipe or a failed water heater, we explain what's wrong in plain language and tell you what it'll cost to fix. If you're good with the price, we get started. If something unexpected comes up, we stop and talk to you before doing extra work.
We Fix It and Make Sure It Works
Once we start, we don't leave until it's done properly. We use quality parts, follow code, and test everything before we're finished. Most repairs take a couple hours. Bigger jobs like water heater replacements or commercial work take longer. When we're done, it's fixed right and we clean up before we leave.

Water heater replacements and sump pump failures. A lot of Maryland Heights properties were built in the 80s and 90s, and those water heaters are reaching the end of their life. Sump pumps fail regularly, especially in areas that get water during heavy rain. We also do a lot of faucet repairs, toilet replacements, and drain work in both residential and commercial properties.
