Meet James Armstrong
Meet the Master Plumber Serving DFW: James Armstrong
James Armstrong has been a Mesquite-resident Master Plumber since 1995. What began as helping neighbors fix leaky faucets turned into a career — and eventually a family business, built on one simple rule: treat people right, do the job with integrity, and always stand behind your work. Today, James and his crew serve Mesquite, Rowlett, Sachse, Garland, and the broader east DFW metro, with most calls dispatched and on-site within 25 minutes of the Mesquite headquarters at 844 Dalworth Dr.
“In thirty years working Rowlett, Garland, and the Lake Ray Hubbard side of the metro, the drain calls almost always come down to two things: tree roots in the older Rowlett neighborhoods near the lake, and grease and hair buildup in the newer developments off Liberty Grove and Schrade Road. We camera-inspect first, then choose hydro-jetting or snaking based on what we actually see — not on what gets you to the highest invoice.”

Typical Forney arrival is 60 to 90 minutes during business hours from our Mesquite shop at 844 Dalworth Dr., Suite 10.

We prioritize confirmed emergency situations.
Yes. James Armstrong Plumbing is licensed by the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners (verifiable at tsbpe.texas.gov). Liability insurance in force. Workers' compensation coverage. Master Plumber ownership with active gas endorsement. All work meets Texas Occupations Code Chapter 1301 requirements.
Yes. Forney's substantial residential growth in master-planned communities like Devonshire and Gateway Parks means we regularly work with builders on new home plumbing. Scope includes full rough-in, fixture installation, permit coordination with City of Forney, and inspection scheduling. Custom quotes provided for new construction based on home size and specification.
Emergency dispatch fee is $199 flat, added to standard service cost. Emergency service is appropriate for active water damage, sewage backup, gas emergencies (after Atmos Energy addresses immediate hazard), and situations where continued delay causes property damage. Non-emergency same-day service does not require the emergency fee.

Single-fixture drain clearing runs $175 to $275. Main line clog service runs $350 to $700. Toilet clog service (professional) runs $175 to $450. Sewer line clearing runs $350 to $900 including camera inspection and hydro jetting where warranted. All quotes provided in writing before work begins.
Yes. Forney's rural-suburban transition areas have mixed municipal water/sewer and well/septic properties. Our team handles both scenarios. Well pump systems and septic-connected drain lines require different approaches than municipal service — we account for that in our diagnostic and repair scope.
Yes. Our commercial plumbing service covers restaurants, retail properties, offices, and light industrial systems throughout Forney. Commercial scope includes facility manager coordination, City of Forney permit coordination, and after-hours dispatch to minimize business disruption.

What we offer is Master Plumber quality, transparent pricing, BBB A+ accountability, and 30-day workmanship warranty. For active life-safety emergencies (gas, active flooding reaching electrical, sewage in living space), always call 911 or Atmos Energy first regardless of who your plumber is.

We handle gas and electric standard water heaters, gas and electric tankless systems, and hybrid heat pump water heaters. Full permit and inspection coordination with City of Forney included.
Yes. Kaufman County's expansive clay soil creates specific slab leak patterns. Slab leak location using camera and acoustic detection runs $350 to $700. Slab leak repair runs $1,500 to $5,000+ depending on access requirements. We provide reroute options where slab access would be excessive, saving money and disruption.
Forney-based plumbers may offer faster same-city dispatch. We offer Master Plumber credentials (verifiable at tsbpe.texas.gov), 30+ years of DFW experience, BBB A+ accreditation since 2018, transparent flat-rate pricing, 30-day workmanship warranty, licensed gas endorsement, full commercial capability, and honest communication about our capabilities and limits. Pick based on what matters most for your specific situation.
