Our Service Area
Your Reliable Plumber in Joshua, TX
Joshua has the small town character that draws families looking for space and community, and the plumbing service needs here reflect that mix of established town properties and surrounding rural homes. Big Blade Plumbing & Rooter handles both worlds with the same level of careful workmanship. We are a licensed plumbing contractor with operations going back to 2007. Our crews understand the differences between city connected properties and rural homes that may rely on well water or septic systems. Each Joshua service call receives the focused evaluation needed to identify problems accurately rather than a one size fits all approach. Honest plumbing recommendations are the foundation of how we work with every customer we meet. You will hear straightforward information about what actually needs to be done, not a list designed to inflate the invoice. Our deep experience with sewer line and drain solutions has earned us steady business across Johnson County. Residential properties and small commercial accounts both get the same standard of attention from our team. Fast response times mean Joshua customers do not wait excessive periods for service when problems develop. Quality work focused on long term reliability defines how we approach every project. Strong workmanship backs every job we complete. Joshua families call us because we treat their homes the right way.

Plumbing in Joshua, TX
The character of Joshua brings together longtime residents in town with newer arrivals settling on acreage across the surrounding countryside, and our plumbing service has adapted to support both groups effectively over many years of working in this community. A service call at a property in the heart of Joshua typically involves city water and sewer connections with the standard configurations common to municipal utility service. A service call at a rural property a few miles outside town may involve private well pumps, pressure tanks, septic system connections, and extended supply line runs that cover far more distance than urban setups. Knowing what to expect at each address comes from years of working both situations, and our crews bring the appropriate equipment and parts inventory to handle whatever the property requires. Inspection findings get documented with notes and photos that support honest recommendations rather than vague suggestions designed to leave room for upcharges later. Customers receive clear written estimates that explain the work involved and the pricing structure without surprises mid project. Plumbing service done this way builds the trust that keeps clients calling our office for years rather than shopping around with every new problem.
Failing water heaters keep our schedule busy throughout the year in Joshua, with calls coming from both town addresses and rural properties on a regular basis. Most homes in this community rely on tank style heaters because of the cost advantage at purchase and the simplicity of the technology. Natural gas heaters dominate in town where utility service is available, while propane heaters fill the same role on rural properties beyond the gas distribution network. Electric tank heaters serve homes without convenient gas access regardless of whether they are in town or out in the country. Local water carries enough mineral content to drive steady sediment buildup inside tank heaters, gradually shortening equipment life unless regular maintenance keeps the situation under control. A tank that begins making popping sounds during heating cycles is communicating sediment problems that flushing may resolve if addressed before serious damage occurs. Our crews handle flushing, anode rod replacement, burner cleaning, and full component replacement on units that still have useful life remaining. Replacement projects involve careful sizing based on actual household demand rather than reflexive matching of whatever was there before. Tankless conversions are evaluated honestly against the realities of each home including gas capacity, venting paths, and electrical service.
Clog problems in Joshua follow recognizable patterns that experienced plumbers diagnose quickly once they hear the symptoms described over the phone. A tub that drains slowly almost always indicates hair and soap residue accumulating in the trap and the line beyond. A kitchen sink that backs up has typically collected grease over many cooking sessions until flow restriction reaches the point of obvious failure. A toilet that overflows or refuses to flush may have a simple obstruction in the trap, but persistent problems often point to deeper sewer line issues that need broader investigation. Main sewer line stoppages bringing waste into the home rank as plumbing emergencies because of the health risk involved and the speed at which damage develops. Our crews bring professional cable augers that clear most routine blockages without damaging the pipe interior. Hydro jetting service comes into use when grease, scale, or root intrusion has built up beyond what cable work can resolve effectively. The pressurized water clears pipe walls completely and restores the original inner diameter, dramatically reducing the chance of repeat clogs over the following months. Camera inspection follows cleaning work to document the results and identify any underlying conditions that warrant further attention.
Underground sewer work in Joshua reflects the variety of pipe materials installed across different eras of local construction. Some properties retain original clay tile yard lines that have served reliably for many decades despite the inherent vulnerability at joints where roots find entry. Cast iron yard piping was standard for a long stretch of Joshua residential construction and fails predictably through internal corrosion that thins the pipe wall until structural compromise occurs along the run. PVC sewer line installed in newer construction or replacement work generally performs well but can develop belly formations from soil movement or improperly compacted backfill during initial installation. Septic systems serving rural properties involve different infrastructure entirely with tank components, distribution boxes, and drain field lines that require their own specialized service approach. Our video camera inspection equipment captures detailed condition data on any pipe we examine, with footage that shows homeowners exactly what we found rather than relying on verbal descriptions. Repair options range from targeted spot fixes when failures are isolated to complete line replacement when deterioration extends along most of the run. Trenchless replacement using pipe bursting reduces surface disturbance in many situations where access conditions allow that approach. Restoration of the work area follows every underground project we complete.
Catching a hidden leak before it produces visible damage saves Joshua homeowners money and protects the structural integrity of the home itself. Our leak detection technology combines acoustic listening devices, thermal imaging cameras, and pressure testing tools used in the right sequence for each specific situation. Slab leaks remain a recurring concern in this region because the expansive clay soils that support most home foundations expand and contract with moisture cycles, stressing the copper supply lines running underneath the foundation. A hot water slab leak typically reveals itself through warm spots on the floor, water heater that runs more often than it should, or unexplained energy bill increases that accompany the water bill spike. A cold water slab leak shows up through damp baseboards, musty smells, buckling floor surfaces, or moisture in places that should always remain dry. Precise leak location protects the home by limiting the area that needs to be opened for repair access. Repair options include cutting the slab to access the line directly, rerouting the affected segment through attic or wall spaces, or completing a partial repipe of the affected zone when conditions suggest broader system aging is at work. Burst pipe repair handles the freeze related emergencies that arrive during winter cold snaps when unprotected lines fail without warning.
Gas line work in this part of Johnson County involves both natural gas service in the city limits and propane systems serving the many rural properties scattered through the surrounding area. Texas requires licensed plumbing contractor credentials for gas line installation and gas line repair, and Big Blade Plumbing & Rooter has maintained those licenses continuously since 2007. Black iron pipe remains the standard for many residential gas applications because of durability and the long track record of properly installed black iron systems performing reliably across decades. CSST flexible gas line provides practical installation advantages in retrofit projects where running rigid pipe would require destroying finished surfaces to route through walls and floors. Polyethylene gas pipe serves underground gas applications well when proper depth, bedding material, and routing requirements are observed during installation. Material decisions on every project are made based on what suits the specific application rather than what is fastest or cheapest at the moment of installation. New gas appliance hookups for ranges, ovens, tankless water heaters, gas dryers, fireplace inserts, pool heaters, outdoor grills, and standby generators each require proper line sizing matched to BTU demand. Pressure testing follows every new installation with documentation maintained for permit and inspection records. Gas safety takes precedence over every other consideration in this category of work.
Comprehensive repiping addresses chronic problems in older Joshua homes where individual repairs have stopped keeping pace with system wide deterioration. Galvanized supply lines from earlier construction continue corroding internally despite multiple spot repairs over the years, eventually producing restricted water pressure, rust colored water at fixtures, and pinhole leaks appearing without warning at random points throughout the home. Polybutylene supply lines installed during the 1980s and early 1990s carry their own well documented failure history that has driven many repipe projects in Joshua homes where the material remains in service. PEX dominates current repipe work because of installation efficiency, freeze tolerance, durability through temperature changes, and a projected service life well past 50 years under normal residential conditions. Copper continues to be a legitimate choice for homeowners who prefer the traditional material and the proven track record of properly installed copper systems. Repipe projects are staged so daily water service remains available at the end of each work day, keeping family routines manageable through the project timeline. Water line installation from the meter or well to the home often pairs with whole house repipes when the service line shows similar wear. Sump pump installation and sump pump repair complete our drainage services for Joshua properties with crawl spaces or low utility areas requiring active water removal during heavy rain events.

CHRIS & BRODY great team, in/out same day, very professional, very friendly, extremely knowledgeable, clean, clean, clean. Explained steps, Communicated proficiently, let Granny hover, & watch, I'm not easy client for any professional. The only thing I wish warranty was minimum 90 days, but I've used, & trusted 1960's plumbing issues, since 2015. We learned to do both roof top clean outs 100 feet minimum for tree roots backing up toilet paper, we only use cheap Scott very thin toilet paper if we don't want more than 1X year clean out. We are seniors, fixed income, every plumbing emergency comes out of food budget. We eat beans & corn bread when we have plumbing issues. God Bless Curly's BIG BLADE PLUMBING Out of Cleburne, Texas. Denise & Christy answer phones, very polite, always helpful, Denise will get you on schedule as soon as possible, never waited very long especially in sewage backups. I always ask for clean, knowledgeable, experienced plumbers. I don't hesitate to call CURLY'S BIG BLADE PLUMBING.
Very good experience! Everyone that I encountered from this organization was kind and helpful from the lady that answered the phone to the plumber and his helper who did the job. I was scheduled promptly. They called and gave me the time that he would arrive. The job was done quickly and professionally by a Master plumber. They also left things clean and showed me how things work ed. I will use them again when I have plumbing needs.
I had a great experience with Curly’s Big Blade Plumbing installing my new water heater. The team was professional, on time, and clearly knew what they were doing. They explained everything in a way that was easy to understand and made sure the job was done right the first time. The installation was clean and efficient, and they left the area spotless when they were finished. Highly recommend them if you’re looking for reliable and honest plumbing work!
These guys are AWESOME!!! We needed help, they came, they saw, they conquered. Lil fun there. Seriously, we needed help finding a drain pipe. Could not have done it without them. These guys go above and beyond customer service. Call them. They are fair and HONEST, which a breath of fresh air now days.

Did a great job repairing my shower valve. Easy to get in touch with there dispatcher and always call to explain how the job is going and what is needed.
Office staff so friendly and professional! Herschel and Isiah came out the very next day and easily fixed the problem! They worked as if they had done this a thousand times! Quick and efficient! They have my business! Thanks to Steven Campis for recommending this company!
Big Blade did a great job for me. They came quickly and completed everything with good quality. They also offered good advice on some minor chages that will make a difference going forward.
Huge thank you to Lee and his helper! I had a hose burst on my water heater in the early morning. Big Blade was able to send a crew out fast and get the hose replaced.
Big Blade Plumbing & Rooter came out to fix an incoming water line that was leaking in between two bushes. The previous company had quoted a higher price and wanted to remove the bushes and replace the shut off valve, which was still good. Big Blade Plumbing fixed the leak for a much cheaper price and didn’t remove any bushes. For that I give them 5 Stars.
Absolutely one of the best out there! You cannot go wrong using Big Blade, they are awesome.
The price they quoted was the price we paid. No hidden fees! Quality work at a fair price! Professional and courteous!
After having a different company come out and price gouge me and calling around I couldn’t find anybody to help me with my clogged line, I was parked at a gas station and saw BIG BLADE truck drive by so I got out my phone and called, I was greeted on the phone by Denise who was extremely polite and professional, with no high pressure in setting the appointment. The price was extremely fair and affordable so we went ahead and booked an appointment, Hershel and Dylan arrived promptly like within 30-40 minutes of us calling and setting the appointment, they got here and did exactly what they said they were going to without pressuring me into getting other services they executed the repair so fast and explained to me about my 30 day warranty and potential risks to look out for in the future! I would HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND using this service. Amazing job thank you guys so much for you’re help and relieving me of all the stress that comes with plumbing difficulties!
Big Blade always does a great job. They are fast and efficient and really helped me with my plumbing issues. Highly recommend them!

Big Blade Plumbing did a fantastic job one year ago when the old cast iron pipes under my house burst and had to be replaced with PVC pipes. The crew was here for several days in very cold weather.

Why Experience Matters When Choosing a Plumber in Joshua, TX
Trusting a plumbing contractor with work on your home is a serious decision because much of what plumbers do happens behind walls, under slabs, or inside fixtures where the customer cannot directly verify the quality of the work performed. Big Blade Plumbing & Rooter has been a licensed plumbing contractor since 2007, and the years behind that span give Joshua customers a foundation of accumulated knowledge they can rely on. Diagnostic skill develops through repetition across many different properties with many different problems to solve. A plumber who has worked through hundreds of similar situations reaches correct conclusions faster than someone still building that pattern recognition. Joshua has its own residential character shaped by the mix of in town homes and rural properties scattered through the surrounding countryside, each presenting different plumbing situations and challenges. Less experienced crews can miss important details or apply approaches that work in some situations but fail in others. The cost of inexperience lands on the homeowner through repeat service visits, premature failures, or water damage that should never have occurred. Honest estimating tends to come from experienced contractors because the pricing process is informed by real knowledge of what jobs involve rather than padded guesswork. Code requirements have evolved across our years in the trade, and we have stayed current with every revision rather than learning through failed inspections. Warranty support means more when the contractor has been around long enough to actually honor commitments years later. Joshua deserves plumbing service from a team that has earned its reputation through consistent work over real time in business.
