Award Winner and Licensed Master Plumber - 26 Years of Experience, Bonded & Insured
St. Louis Plumbing Contractor - Express Plumbing
St. Louis Plumber with 26 Years of Experience You Can Count On
Express Plumbing has been serving St. Louis since 1999. We're based in Lake Saint Louis, which puts us about 38–45 minutes from most St. Louis addresses depending on traffic and where you are in the city. We know St. Louis well — from the historic neighborhoods in the city to commercial properties downtown. Jim's a licensed master plumber in both St Louis County and the City of St. Louis, which means we're licensed to work throughout the entire metro area. We've handled everything from emergency repairs in old brick buildings to water heater replacements in newer developments. We've also done commercial plumbing for office buildings, retail spaces, and restaurants across the city. Last winter, we replaced eight water heaters in St. Louis properties when that cold snap hit and systems started failing. When you've been working in St. Louis this long, you know the challenges of older buildings, you understand city code requirements, and you know how to get the job done right.
WHY St. Louis CHOOSE Express Plumbing
Jim holds a master plumber license in both St Louis County and the City of St. Louis. That matters because the city has different code requirements than the county, and we know both. Whether you're in the city limits or just outside, we're licensed to work on your property. We pull permits when required and our work passes inspection the first time. We've been pulling permits in St. Louis since the late 90s.
We work on both homes and businesses all over St. Louis. That means whether you need a residential water heater replaced or commercial plumbing fixed at your restaurant or office, we've got the experience. Commercial properties mean bigger systems, more fixtures, and tighter deadlines — we handle all of it. We've done work in everything from single-family homes to multi-story office buildings.
We don't charge travel fees to come to St. Louis. And we charge the same rate whether you call Wednesday afternoon or Saturday at midnight. No "emergency surcharge" when your pipe bursts on a holiday weekend. No extra fees for nights and weekends. Some plumbers will add $150–$200 for after-hours service. 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 St. Louis properties over the years — residential, commercial, old buildings, new construction. Some of our customers have called us multiple times over the years. When you do quality work at fair prices, people remember and they call back. We've built a reputation in St. Louis by showing up on time, fixing things right, 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.

3 Steps to Our Services in St. Louis
1
Call and Get Straight Information
When you call (314) 807-8460, you're talking directly to us. We ask what's happening and tell you honestly whether it needs immediate attention or if it can wait. Since we're about 33 miles away in Lake St Louis, we can usually get to St. Louis same-day — often within an hour or two for emergencies. We'll tell you when to expect us, and we show up on time.
2
We Diagnose and Quote Before Starting
We arrive with a fully stocked truck and figure out what's wrong. Whether it's residential or commercial, whether it's a leaking pipe or a failed water heater, we explain the problem 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 more work.
3
We Fix It and Make Sure It's Done Right
Once we start working, we don't leave until it's done properly. We use quality parts, follow city or county code depending on where you are, and make sure everything works 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.

Do you charge extra to service St. Louis?
No. We don't charge travel fees to come to St. Louis. The price is the same whether you're in Lake St Louis, St. Louis city, or anywhere else we serve. We're not adding fees because of the distance.
Are you licensed to work in the City of St. Louis?
Yes. Jim's a licensed master plumber in both the City of St. Louis and St Louis County. We pull permits when required and our work passes inspection the first time. We've been doing plumbing in St. Louis since 1999 and know what both city and county inspectors expect.
Do you handle commercial plumbing in St. Louis?
Yes. We've done commercial plumbing for office buildings, retail spaces, restaurants, and other commercial properties all over St. Louis. Commercial work means bigger systems, more fixtures, and stricter requirements — we're set up for it. If you've got a plumbing issue at your business or need work for a buildout, call us.
Can you work on older buildings in St. Louis?
Yes. We've worked on plenty of older buildings in St. Louis — brick homes, historic properties, buildings from the early 1900s.
