Good & Honest Plumbing is an owner-operated plumbing company serving Greenville homes and businesses. Greenville has the oldest housing stock in our service area. Over half of the city’s homes were built before 1990, and the median year built is 1979. That puts most of the original plumbing, cast iron sewers, galvanized supply lines, and the fixtures connected to them, at 35 to 45 years of continuous use. The newer homes built after 2000 are hitting their own timeline: water heaters past their rated lifespan and copper lines under the slab starting to show stress from the clay. For the full list, visit our plumbing services page.
Greenville’s pre-1990 homes are the most likely to have galvanized supply lines still in service. Galvanized steel corrodes from the inside out over decades. The pipe wall narrows until it can’t hold pressure, and the weakest spot splits. We take burst pipe repair and replacement calls in Greenville around the clock. When a galvanized line bursts, we replace the failed section with copper or PEX and can scope the remaining lines to tell you what’s next.
Older drain lines and low-flow retrofits in Greenville’s pre-1990 homes make recurring clogs more common than in newer construction. If the clog clears but comes back within a few weeks, the problem is usually in the branch line or the main, not the toilet itself. Our clogged toilet services start with a camera inspection when a clog recurs so we fix the actual cause, not just the symptom.
We answer emergency plumbing calls in Greenville 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Sewage backing into the house, a supply line that split overnight, a gas smell you can’t place. In older homes the gap between “small drip” and “real damage” closes fast. Call (972) 965-4818 and one of us is on the way.
Homes built in the 1970s and 1980s often have original gas connections that have never been inspected or updated. Corrosion on fittings and flex connectors is common after four decades. We handle gas line repair and installation for both repairs on aging systems and new lines for additions or appliance upgrades. Every job is pressure-tested and certified to code before we leave.
Sewer work is the biggest plumbing need in Greenville. The city’s pre-1990 homes sit on cast iron and clay sewer lines that have had 35 to 45 years of roots growing into the joints and soil shifting around the pipe. Many of these lines went in before PVC became standard, and they are at or past the end of their useful life. We camera the line first to map the damage, then repair or replace the affected section. Our complete sewer repair work carries a 10-year warranty on full replacements.
Most of Greenville’s older homes still have their original shower valves, supply lines, and drain connections. After 35+ years, valves corrode internally and cut the flow. Supply connections behind the wall develop pinhole leaks you won’t see until the drywall stains. We repair and replace all of it. If you’re remodeling a bathroom, we handle the rough-in and final hookup. See our full shower repair and installation page for details.
Greenville’s older homes with copper supply lines beneath the slab have had decades of contact with the clay soil. That long exposure corrodes the pipe wall and eventually produces pinhole leaks or full cracks. We use electronic and acoustic detection to pinpoint slab leaks without tearing up the floor. When a reroute makes more sense than a spot repair, we run new lines above the slab. Reroutes carry a 5-year warranty.
When a tank water heater fails in a Greenville home, replacing it with a tankless unit is often the better long-term investment. Tankless systems last longer and eliminate the standby heat loss that drives up utility bills. We install Navien tankless systems and handle the gas line and venting work as part of the project. Tankless water heater repair and installation makes sense for homeowners who want to stop replacing tank units every 10 to 12 years.
Toilets in older Greenville homes may still have original flush valves, fill valves, and wax seals from the 1970s or 1980s. When internal parts fail, the toilet runs constantly or leaks at the base. We repair what still works and replace what doesn’t. Toilet repair and installation is same-day work for us in most cases.
Greenville’s pre-1990 homes have been through multiple water heater replacements already. The post-2000 homes are now on their first or second unit. Hunt County’s water supply adds mineral scale to the tank over time, which shortens the heater’s life and reduces efficiency. If your unit is leaking from the bottom, producing lukewarm water, or popping and rumbling, it probably needs to go. We carry Bradford White tanks and complete most water heater repair and installation jobs the same day.
Galvanized supply lines in Greenville’s older homes corrode from the inside. The pipe wall thins over years until water seeps through at a weak point. You might notice it as a stain on a ceiling, a warm spot on the floor over a hot water line, or a water bill that climbed for no clear reason. We use detection equipment to locate the source before we cut into anything. Water leak detection and repair done early keeps a small problem from becoming a big one.
The owners do the work. Caleb and Preston are licensed plumbers on every job. The person who quotes your plumbing repair is the person who does it. No dispatch from a call center, no rotating technicians.
We tell you what’s wrong and what it costs before we start. If a repair doesn’t make financial sense, we’ll say so. That’s where the name comes from.
We stand behind what we do. Complete sewer replacements carry a 10-year warranty. Slab leak reroutes are covered for 5 years. Tank and tankless water heaters are backed by manufacturer warranties ranging from 6 to 12 years depending on the unit and component. General repairs carry a 1-year labor warranty.
Texas plumbing license M#43536. Fully insured. Available 24/7, including holidays.

Greenville is the Hunt County seat, with over 37,000 residents and about 13,000 housing units. Around 53% of those households own their home. The city has the oldest housing stock in our service area, with a median year built of 1979 and more than half of homes predating 1990. That age shows up in the plumbing. Cast iron sewers are failing. Galvanized supply lines are corroded and restricting flow. Water heaters have been swapped out more than once already.
Good & Honest Plumbing is based in Nevada, TX, about 25 miles southwest of Greenville. We serve residential and commercial plumbing customers throughout the city. If you need a plumber near you for a sewer line that has finally given out or a water heater that quit this morning, we handle it.
