Express Plumbing has been serving O'Fallon since 1999. We're based in Lake Saint Louis, which puts us about 12 minutes from most O'Fallon addresses — close enough to respond fast when you need us. We know this area well, from the established neighborhoods off Highway K to the newer developments around Winghaven. Jim's worked on plumbing in homes all over O'Fallon, from older properties that need galvanized pipe replaced to brand new construction where we're doing the rough-in work. Last fall, we replaced four water heaters in one weekend when that cold snap hit and systems started failing. When you've been working in O'Fallon this long, you know the common issues, you know the local inspectors, and you know how to get the job done right without wasting time or money.
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 We'll Tell You What to Expect
When you call (314) 807-8460, you talk directly to us. We ask what's happening and give you an honest answer about whether it's urgent or if it can wait. Since we're just 8 miles away in Lake St Louis, we can usually get to O'Fallon addresses same-day — often within an hour for true emergencies. We tell you when to expect us, and we show up when we say we will.
We Diagnose and Price It Before Starting
We show up with a fully stocked truck and figure out what's wrong. Whether it's a leaking water heater, a clogged drain, or a toilet that won't flush, we explain the problem in plain English and tell you what it'll cost to fix it. If you're good with the price, we start right away. If we run into something unexpected, we stop and talk to you before doing extra work.
We Fix It Right and Test It Before We Leave
Once we start working, we don't leave until the job's done properly. We use quality parts, we follow local code, and we test everything to make sure it works. Most repairs take a couple hours. Bigger jobs like water heater installs take half a day. Either way, when we're done, it's fixed right and we clean up the mess before we go.

Water heater failures and sump pump problems. O'Fallon gets some heavy rain, and if your sump pump isn't working, you'll know it fast. We also replace a lot of water heaters in homes that are 15–20 years old where the original unit is finally giving out. Faucet repairs and toilet issues are common too, but those are quick fixes compared to a failed water heater.
