Company History

The Payne family started the business in 1974 in the driveway of their Tanglewood subdivision home. Early work focused on service calls for leaks and small fixes. Over four decades the company expanded from one truck to a fleet of over 20. The hands-on origin shows in how the business treats service calls today.

Roots in the community remain strong. The company grew steadily while keeping local hiring, on-the-job training, and straightforward pricing at the center of operations.

Leadership

Jay Payne leads the company as a fourth-generation plumber and company president. He trained through every role at Central Plumbing—from helper to sewer truck operator, service plumber, estimator, and project manager—before becoming owner in 2006.

Jay holds continuing education from LSU, is a Master Plumber, and is a member of the PHCC. He personally reviews service calls and maintains hands-on oversight of quality and safety.
