Union Plumbers (UA Local 562)
Legacy Plumbing is a UA Local 562 signatory and a member of MCA of Eastern Missouri. Our union plumbers work from our O'Fallon office and have served St. Louis City and County since 1996. For a general contractor comparing plumbers in St. Louis, that means signatory manpower on the job, with every commercial job run under master-licensed supervision.
Tenant finish plumbing for St. Louis suites
Tenant finish connects a revised restroom, break room, kitchen or clinical layout to the building's existing risers, waste and vent. The work is coordinated with the general contractor's schedule and with occupied neighbors above and below the suite, so shutdowns and connection points are planned before demolition rather than discovered during it.
Design-build and new construction plumbing
For a ground-up building, the plumbing package starts before the slab is poured. Underground sanitary, storm and water service coordinate with the site and structural schedule; above-ground waste, vent and domestic water follow framing; fixture setting, water heating, testing and inspection complete the installation. When the layout is still developing, design-build and design-assist let our estimator help shape the plumbing system before the plan set is final.
Backflow testing and reporting
Backflow assemblies are tested annually, and the test report goes to the water provider serving the property. The water bill is the practical starting point for identifying that provider, so we confirm the submission destination rather than assigning every St. Louis property to one utility.
Commercial water heaters
Limited hot water can come from scale, a failed component, an undersized heater or a circulation problem. Our water heater service covers repair, tank and tankless replacement, mixing valves and recirculation, with equipment evaluated against the building's actual demand, fuel, venting and access.
Grease trap cleaning and interceptor service
Restaurant and food-service kitchens need waste, grease interception and hot water considered together. We pump and clean on a regular schedule, following the Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District (MSD) recommendation to clean grease interceptors when they reach 60 percent of capacity, and keep service records the property can reference.
Commercial service and repair
After occupancy, facility service covers leaks, fixture repairs, water heaters, drains and backflow, with preventive maintenance bringing those systems into a planned schedule. Regular service is Monday–Friday, 7am–4pm. Medical gas is part of our healthcare and dental plumbing scope where specified.
Industries We Serve
Developers and GCs need a scope that follows the drawings and identifies existing-condition questions before installation. Property managers need a repair or maintenance plan that names the affected system and accounts for occupied space. Restaurants need kitchen waste, grease interception and hot water considered together. Healthcare and dental projects add equipment connections, clinical sinks and, where specified, medical gas. Schools and multifamily properties need fixture, drainage and water-heating work planned around the people using the building.
Our published St. Louis evidence includes cafeteria and restroom renovation in an operating plant and dental renovation above occupied finished space. County records add a Crestwood restaurant, a Florissant dialysis clinic and dental work in Webster Groves and Richmond Heights. Each project retains its actual location and scope.
St. Louis City and County: plan for the actual jurisdiction
City and County are not interchangeable permit destinations. Our existing City of St. Louis information identifies the city's Building Division as the plumbing permitting and inspection office. Across the County, the property location and scope determine the applicable process. Before committing the construction sequence, identify the jurisdiction, provide the plumbing drawings and allow for inspection steps before work is concealed. A town name alone is not enough to resolve every permit question.
Backflow paperwork is a separate question from the construction permit. The water provider serving the property receives the test report; the water bill is the practical starting point for identifying that provider. We confirm the submission destination rather than assigning every St. Louis property to one utility. For kitchen grease systems, coordinate interceptor service records with the property's pretreatment requirements.
What to look for when hiring a plumbing contractor in St. Louis
Licensing: ask whether the plumbing contractor holds the license the permit requires. Work inside the City of St. Louis is permitted under a City of St. Louis plumbing license, and many County municipalities rely on St. Louis County licensing. Legacy Plumbing has master plumbers on staff and is licensed to pull plumbing permits in every St. Louis–area jurisdiction we serve — St. Louis City, St. Louis County and its municipalities, St. Charles County and Jefferson County — and files those permits itself.
Union crews: confirm who will actually install the work. Our crews are UA Local 562 signatory plumbers, and the scopes on this page are self-performed by Legacy crews rather than passed to a third-party sub.
Project proof: look for completed work you can check. Our project pages list each job by its actual town or county and scope, so you can compare tenant finish, renovation and new construction work before you send plans.
Insurance: request current certificates before mobilization. Legacy Plumbing is licensed, bonded and insured for commercial and industrial scopes.
How to Get a Commercial Plumbing Bid
1. Send the plans or plans link, fixture and equipment information, bid due date and schedule. 2. Our estimator reviews the scope and existing-condition questions and returns a bid. 3. We confirm the permitting jurisdiction and inspection steps. 4. Underground and rough-in are installed and inspected before work is concealed. 5. Fixtures, water heating and final testing complete the job, with service available after occupancy.
For a bid, send the plans or plans link, fixture and equipment information, the type of space, bid due date and proposed construction schedule. Identify whether the work is a new building, an addition or a tenant finish in an occupied property. Existing-condition photographs and known shutdown restrictions help distinguish a construction scope from an allowance for unknown work. Our estimator can review a completed plan set or discuss design-assist when the plumbing layout is still developing.
For service, describe the symptom and the system: a leaking fixture, limited hot water, recurring drain backup or backflow assembly needing attention. Tell us which tenants or rooms are affected and how the building can be accessed. Regular service is scheduled Monday–Friday, 7am–4pm. Select residential work is available through that service division; it does not change our primary commercial construction and facility-service focus.
Why GCs Choose Legacy Plumbing
General contractors bring us in because the plumbing scope is priced and installed by the same company. Our estimator reviews the drawings and existing-condition questions before the bid is returned, and design-assist is available when the plumbing layout is still developing. Field work is self-performed by UA Local 562 crews under master-licensed supervision, and we coordinate permits and inspections for the actual jurisdiction. Among plumbing companies in St. Louis, Legacy has done this work since 1996 as a member of MCA of Eastern Missouri.
St. Louis Areas We Serve
Our City and County coverage connects to individual area pages rather than an unnamed metro-wide promise.
