Kilgore sits just south of Longview, close enough that the plumbers who work in Longview also take jobs there. One call to us covers both.
Plumbing work for Kilgore homes and businesses
- Emergency plumbing for burst pipes, attic heater leaks and backups.

The license is a state license
Texas licenses plumbers statewide through the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners, so the same license check applies in Kilgore as in Longview. Ask for the plumber's license number and look it up on the Texas license search before work starts.
Permits are local
Kilgore is its own city, so the City of Longview's plumber registration and permit rules cover Longview addresses, not Kilgore ones. If your job may need a permit, ask the plumber how they handle permits in Kilgore, or call the City of Kilgore to check before the work begins.
Weather around Kilgore
Kilgore shares the East Texas weather that Longview gets: about 48 inches of rain a year on the Longview record, long hot summers, and a rare hard freeze. That brings the same plumbing problems:
- Sewer lines that back up during long wet spells when roots or cracks let water in.
- Water heaters in attics and garages working hard through the summer.
- Pipes in attics and outside walls at risk when a hard freeze does come.
Before a freeze, disconnect hoses, cover outdoor faucets, open sink cabinets on outside walls and keep the heat on. If a pipe splits, close the main valve and call.
Your water
Kilgore's water may come from a different supplier than Longview's, so check your own water bill or your provider's water quality report for hardness before anyone suggests a softener. Ask a plumber to explain why one would help your home before you buy.

We also take calls from Longview, White Oak, Hallsville and Gladewater. See the Longview TX Plumber home page for the full local guide.
