Every photograph on this page is MVP Plumbing work. There is no stock imagery anywhere on this site — not on the service pages, not here. Where a job has not been photographed yet, the page says so and shows a gap instead of buying a picture of somebody else's pipe.
That is a deliberate limit and it costs us. A stock library would fill this page in an afternoon. But a photograph of a job we did is the only kind that tells you anything about us, so it is the only kind we use.
Under the slab
Tunneling and under-slab drain repair.
Anahuac — new PEX run under the floor of a raised house, on hangers alongside the original drain lines. A repair, not a repipe.Old line cut back to sound pipe, new shielded coupling banded on.Why cast iron gets replaced rather than patched — the scale on the old pipe is the pipe.Where the floor genuinely is the only route in, it is a cut, not a demolition - and it is the option we take last.Old River-Winfree — slab cut along the foundation for a washing machine drain reroute.Access from outside. Nobody cuts your floor.Working under the slab rather than through the floor. Clear Lake, fifteen feet in.Inside the tunnel, under the slab of a commercial kitchen. This is what the work actually looks like.Working the old cast iron line where it runs - under a kitchen that had to keep trading.
Sewer lines and camera work
Sewer line repair, replacement and inspection.
Anahuac — the new sewer line in the trench before backfill.Before — split at the joint, dirt packed through it.A line that had come apart underground.Commercial sewer replacement, tunneling under a footing.Looking down the line toward a fitting, seventeen inches in.Our own footage, with the date and the distance down the line on screen.The screen you get shown — live view inside the line, with the footage counter running.A fifteen-foot repair-and-replace in a residential yard.After — new fittings in on the same job.The far end of the run is always the deep end. A quarter inch of fall per foot adds up across a yard.
Drains and jetting
Drain cleaning, hydro jetting and grease lines.
An under-sink grease trap on a three-compartment sink — the line this work is about.First stoppage in six or seven years. The hairball came out, the cable ran clean, and we told them not to bother with a camera.The machine the price is based on. Pressure gets advertised; flow rate is what carries the debris out.Jetting a line in progress.
Water heaters and tankless
Tank and tankless water heaters.
A circulator pump swapped out — a component repair, not a heater replacement.State ProLine 40-gallon short, attic install — new drip pan, new flex connector, T&P line run properly.A finished attic install. The pan, the gas flex, the filter and the service valves are all part of what the number covers.An electric unit open mid-repair.Inside a tankless unit. The heat exchanger is the part scale destroys, and the part that costs the most to replace.Both heaters were the same age and in the same attic. Replacing both meant one attic access, not two.A finished State ProLine install.
Repipes and water lines
Repiping, water line repair and leak work.
Found and stopped.The other half of the cost question: what the existing pipe is doing. Pinholes through the wall of the pipe mean the material has reached the end of its life, not that one spot failed.Back together with a new shutoff and insulation.Fifty-year-old galvanized, rusted through at the joint. That riser fed eight units.Before — the old hose bib at the wall.After — the same one finished.A hose bib with its own shutoff, insulated for winter.Beach City — new hose bib and a quarter-turn ball valve that actually closes. Wood siding, so press fittings and no torch.Pumping the water out to get eyes on the leak — the unglamorous half of leak detection.Kneeling mat down, site kept tidy.Press fittings in an attic. Timber and insulation right there, and no flame.New lines going in with the wall open. Closing this back up is usually the longest stage of the job.A tub valve roughed in on new PEX. The drops come down inside the wall from the attic — the slab is never opened.
Gas work
Gas lines, testing and inspection.
A yellow poly gas line run out to a standby generator.Annual gas pressure test at a licensed daycare.The riser at the house end. Poly cannot come out of the ground, so every buried run transitions to a riser at each end.
Commercial
Commercial plumbing and facility work.
A Beeco RP on a commercial line — the rating is cast into the body.A double-check assembly, insulated for winter.A large bronze RPZ, out in the open.A small double-check on PVC risers in a yard.Wrist blades on a commercial lavatory — the handles an inspector looks for.A live break at an industrial facility.Before — the old line opened up.The swap — old gate valve out, new ball valve staged.After — new valve, pressed copper, old section on the floor.A commercial main, deep enough to need a ladder.Corroded through. Drain assembly, faucet and supplies all done in one visit.ADA bi-level unit with a bottle filler and a filter, in a church gym used for pickleball. People fill bottles; almost nobody bends over a spout.Built to be rebuilt.Vacuum breaker parts laid out before the rebuild.A flushometer vacuum breaker being replaced — a restroom back in service in minutes rather than days.A sprinkler backflow unit, wrapped and mounted on brick.The repair a dealership maintenance team could not stop.
Fixtures, toilets and valves
The small jobs, done properly.
Old and new, side by side.What came out of a faucet that had 'gone weak'.A disposal under a kitchen sink.A cartridge swap — often the whole fix on a dripping faucet.Testing a shower pan drain before the strainer goes on.The broken plastic flange.Stainless, anchored into the slab.The old flush valve out of a tank.New gasket, new brass bolts, all internals.The circle shows the cut was measured before it was made.Checked against the trim plate.Finished. Nothing to patch, nothing to repaint.Mont Belvieu meter relocation. The city required a licensed plumber and an inspection before the driveway could go in.
Water treatment
Filtration, softeners and conditioners.
A finished AquaArmor whole-house filtration install.HALO whole-house conditioner, garage install. Isolation valves both sides and a bypass loop, so it can be serviced later without cutting pipe. Shot mid-job — the wrap is still on the unit.
On the job
The people and the sites.
An after-hours call. This is what the 24-hour line is for.Working out what kind of leak it is first is what keeps the opening this small. Cut with a dust extractor so the room stays clean.Anahuac — the finished bathroom. Freestanding tub on a floor-mounted filler, set on a rough-in planned for it.
What is missing from this page
Some of what we do is not here yet. A full tunnel sequence from break-ground to restored site. Our branded trucks, photographed properly. A finished bathroom, before and after. Jobs in Crosby, Highlands, La Porte and Liberty, where we work but have not had a camera out.
Those gaps get filled as the jobs come in, with real photographs, which is slower than the alternative and worth it.
If you want to see what any of this involves, the service pages go through it job by job, and the guides answer the questions people actually ask. Or ask for a quote.
Common questions
Are these photos really your jobs?
Yes, all of them. No stock imagery is used anywhere on this site. Where we have not photographed a job yet, the page shows a marked gap rather than a bought picture - you will see those on several of our city pages.
Why are some services missing photos?
Because we have not had a camera out on that job yet. Rather than fill the space with something generic, we leave it marked as missing until there is a real photograph to put there.
Can I see work you have done near me?
The city pages carry the jobs done in each town, with photographs where we have them. See service areas for the full list.
Do you photograph every job?
No - most days the work happens and nobody thinks to get the phone out. What you see here is what got captured, which is why the library grows slowly.
