Company History
River Valley Plumbing began as a local business in the fall of 2003. It started when a journeyman plumber took a step into business ownership to provide steady, reliable service to the river communities. Over the years the shop has stayed small and steady, adding skills like hydro-jetting and advanced water heater work while keeping the customer-first approach that started the company.
Leadership
The company is owned and operated by James, who received his journeyman plumbing license in 1996 while working with a national service provider. He earned his masters license in 2002 and opened River Valley Plumbing in 2003. James brings decades of hands-on experience and a local presence in the Barling area.
He and the team are licensed and bonded in Arkansas and Oklahoma and work on both homes and businesses. They are known for showing up on time, explaining options plainly, and leaving job sites tidy.
