Saint Charles Plumbing Contractor - Express Plumbing
Saint Charles Plumber Who's Been Fixing Pipes Here Since 1999
Express Plumbing has been serving Saint Charles since 1999. We're based in Lake Saint Louis, which puts us about 20–25 minutes from most Saint Charles addresses depending on traffic. That's close enough to respond fast when you need us. We know Saint Charles well — from the historic streets in the old town area to the newer developments along Highway 94. Jim's a licensed master plumber in St Charles County and he's pulled hundreds of permits through Saint Charles City Hall over the years. We've done everything from fixing emergency leaks in old Victorian homes to roughing in plumbing for new construction. We've also handled plenty of rehab work where old plumbing needed brought up to current code. Last year, we replaced a dozen water heaters in Saint Charles during that cold snap in January. When you've been working in Saint Charles this long, you know the quirks of older homes, you know what the inspectors expect, and you know how to get the job done right.
WHY Saint Charles CHOOSE Express Plumbing
We've been fixing plumbing in Saint Charles for over two decades. That means we know the older homes in the historic district, the challenges they present, and how to work with systems that were installed decades ago. We also know the newer neighborhoods and what those homes typically need. Jim's pulled permits through Saint Charles City Hall countless times and knows exactly what the local inspectors look for. When you hire someone local who's been working in your area this long, you're getting experience that matters.
Jim holds a master plumber license in St Charles County, which covers Saint Charles. We pull permits when they're required and our work passes inspection the first time. Whether you're dealing with a code violation, doing a rehab project, or adding a bathroom, we do it to code without cutting corners. No failed inspections. No callbacks because something wasn't done properly. We've been doing this in Saint Charles since the late 90s and we know what passes.
We don't charge travel fees to come to Saint Charles. And we charge the same rate whether you call on a Tuesday afternoon or Sunday at 2 AM. No "emergency surcharge" when your water heater starts leaking on a holiday weekend. No extra fees for nights and weekends. Some companies will tack on an extra $150–$200 for after-hours service. We don't believe in that, so we don't do it.
We've worked on hundreds of properties in Saint Charles over the years — residential and commercial. Some of our customers have called us multiple times as their homes aged or their needs changed. When you do quality work at fair prices, people remember and they call back. We've fixed plumbing in some Saint Charles homes three or four times over the past 20 years. That kind of repeat business happens when you show up on time, do the work right, and charge what's fair.
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.

We Figure Out the Problem and Quote It
We arrive with a fully stocked truck and diagnose what's wrong. Whether it's a leaking pipe, a failed water heater, or old galvanized pipe that needs replaced, we explain the problem in plain language and tell you what it'll cost to fix. 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 Pass Inspection
Once we start, we don't leave until it's done properly. We use quality parts, follow local code, and make sure everything works before we're finished. Most repairs take a couple hours. Bigger jobs like water heater replacements or code violation fixes take longer. When we're done, it's fixed right and we clean up the mess before we leave.

Are you licensed to work in Saint Charles?
Yes. Jim's a licensed master plumber in St Charles County, which includes Saint Charles. We pull permits through Saint Charles City Hall when required, and our work passes inspection the first time. We've been doing plumbing in Saint Charles since 1999 and know exactly what the inspectors expect.
Can you help with code violations in Saint Charles?

What plumbing problems are common in older Saint Charles homes?
Galvanized pipe that needs replaced, old cast iron stacks that are corroded, and outdated venting systems. A lot of the older homes in Saint Charles were built before modern code, and things need updated when you remodel or when they finally fail. We also see a lot of water heater replacements in homes where the original unit is 15–20 years old.
