Commercial Plumbing & Process Piping Fabrication in Houston
Mueller Water provides licensed commercial and industrial plumbing, process piping, and pipe fabrication in Houston from its Sherwood Forest headquarters and on-site fabrication shop. Work is performed under Texas-licensed plumbers, with certified welders and X-ray-qualified piping available on request.
Houston runs on heavy water systems. Refineries and chemical plants along the Ship Channel, the laboratories and hospitals of the Texas Medical Center, port and shipping operations, and aerospace research at Johnson Space Center all depend on plumbing and process piping built to handle continuous duty and aggressive process fluids. Mueller Water has fabricated and installed those systems out of Houston since 1969.
Our headquarters at 1500 Sherwood Forest Street is also our primary fabrication facility — pipe spools, structural skids, and non-code pressure vessels for clients across our four-branch network are built here. Plumbing services are performed under a Texas Responsible Master Plumber (David Mueller, License No. M-13897), and welding is performed by certified welders with X-ray-qualified piping available for projects that require it.

Coverage & Fabrication Capacity from Our Houston Shop
Our Houston team serves the full Gulf Coast region — Houston proper plus Sugar Land, The Woodlands, Katy, Pearland, Pasadena, Baytown, Spring, Cypress, Conroe, La Porte, Friendswood, and Galveston. Because the fabrication shop is on-site at our headquarters, pipe spools and skids for Houston jobs ship with the shortest lead times on our network, and field welding crews can be dispatched from the same location.

Why Licensed Plumbing & Certified Welding
Texas Plumbing License Law requires that commercial plumbing be performed and supervised by licensed plumbers under a Responsible Master Plumber (RMP). For commercial and industrial Houston buildings, that licensing is not optional — it is what makes the work permittable and insurable. Mueller Water's plumbing is performed under RMP David Mueller (M-13897), and the welding side of the work is performed by certified welders so that the same crew can turn the keys on a finished, code-compliant system.
