Santhoff Plumbing Co.
Houston, Texas 77005
Three generations of Santhoffs running plumbing service across Houston since 1974.
About
Now in its second half-century, Santhoff Plumbing Company has been family-run since 1974. The Bissonnet Street office serves residential and commercial clients across Houston and the Missouri City area, where the company maintains a second base of operations.
The work mix runs unusually wide for a residential plumber. Standard repairs and installations are joined by hydrostatic testing for real estate transactions, septic tank installations and pumping, water treatment system rough-ins, and outdoor kitchen plumbing for backyard remodels. Slab leak detection is one of the bigger draws given Houston's expansive clay soils.
24/7 emergency dispatch is in place for burst pipes, sewer backups, and gas line issues. Reach the team at (713) 665-4997.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does hydrostatic testing involve, and does Santhoff offer it?
Santhoff Plumbing Company performs hydrostatic testing on residential and commercial properties throughout Houston. The test pressurizes the drain system to check for hidden underground leaks — typically required during real estate transactions or after foundation movement. Reports are delivered the same day in most cases.
Why is Santhoff often recommended for slab leaks?
Santhoff Plumbing Company has built a reputation around slab leaks because Houston's expansive clay soils cause frequent foundation shifts that crack water lines under the slab. The team uses electronic leak detection to pinpoint the exact location, then offers either targeted repair or a reroute depending on slab condition.
Does Santhoff handle septic systems outside city sewer?
Yes — Santhoff Plumbing Company handles septic tank installation, pumping, repair, and replacement for Houston-area properties not on city sewer. They coordinate with health department inspections and can perform full system designs for new construction or rural lots outside the city limits.
Can Santhoff rough in plumbing for an outdoor kitchen?
Santhoff Plumbing Company roughs in water supply, gas lines, and drainage for outdoor kitchen builds across Houston backyards. The work usually includes hot and cold supply lines, a drain to the sanitary sewer, and a gas connection sized for the planned grill or burner setup. Coordination with patio contractors is standard.
Is Santhoff Plumbing actually family-owned?
Santhoff Plumbing Company has been family-owned and operated since 1974, with three generations involved in the business. The same family still oversees scheduling, dispatch, and technician training, and the company maintains both the Bissonnet Street office in Houston and a second location in Missouri City.
What's the typical emergency response time?
Santhoff Plumbing Company keeps technicians on call 24/7 for emergencies including burst pipes, gas leaks, and sewer backups. Response time within central Houston is typically under two hours during business hours and up to four hours overnight, depending on dispatch volume that night.
