— Our story

Built on quality work
and honest pricing.

Joshua Plumbing and Excavating has been a St. Louis family business since the early 1980s. The way we do business hasn't changed: show up when we say we will, do the job right the first time, and charge a fair price.

Mike Brockmann founded the company as a sole proprietorship doing plumbing work across the metro, incorporated the business in 2001, and today his son Josh Brockmann runs day-to-day operations with a team of ten.

What started as a one-man operation has grown into a full plumbing-and-excavation contractor with more than 1,700 clients served — from homeowners to general contractors who keep coming back project after project.

Unlike most plumbing contractors who sub out their digging — or excavators who don't know plumbing — we run both trades in-house. That means one company, one schedule, one point of accountability from the first phone call to the final inspection.

— What sets us apart

How we run
every job.

Four things drive how we work — from a single faucet replacement to a full sewer main install. They've been the same since 1982.

Plumber + excavator, one shop

We own multiple sizes of excavators, track loaders, and trucks. No sub coordination delays, no surprise day-rates — one contractor start to finish.

Licensed & insured

Fully licensed and insured for both plumbing and excavation across St. Louis and the surrounding counties. Master plumber and drainlayer registered.

Honest pricing

Clear, itemized estimates before any work begins. No gimmicks, no inflated "discounts," no surprise charges at the end of the job.

Quality workmanship

Plumbing and excavation are both jobs that are hard to fix later. We focus on doing each one right the first time — properly sized, properly installed, and built to last decades.
