TSBPE LICENSED PROFESSIONALS · BIG COUNTRY SPECIALISTS
Our Team — Licensed Plumbers Serving Abilene, TX
Every Plumbing Doctor technician is TSBPE licensed, background-checked, salaried (not commission), and trained specifically in West Texas plumbing conditions.
The quality of a plumbing repair depends almost entirely on the knowledge and judgment of the person who performs it. Licensing tells you someone passed a competency test. Experience in this specific market — Abilene’s Permian clay, Lake Phantom Hill hard water, freeze patterns in homes built for heat — tells you they have solved the exact conditions in your home hundreds of times.
James R. Holloway
Master Plumber · Owner & Operator · TSBPE License #M-12847
James grew up in Abilene and has been working in plumbing since age 16. He earned his Journeyman Plumber license in 2004 and his Master Plumber license in 2009 — qualifying him to pull permits, supervise licensed work, and operate a plumbing company in Texas. He founded Plumbing Doctor Abilene after years at commission-based companies, frustrated by the systematic pressure to upsell. He has personally managed hundreds of slab leak repairs in Abilene’s clay soil and developed the company’s electronic detection protocol to minimize slab disruption. Master Plumber license #M-12847 is verifiable at tsbpe.texas.gov.

How to Verify a Plumber’s License in Texas
The Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners maintains a public license lookup at tsbpe.texas.gov. Ask for the license number and type before work begins. Work by unlicensed plumbers voids homeowner’s insurance coverage for resulting damage and may not pass city inspection — creating problems at resale.
