Pace Plumbing has operated in Third Ward since Robert L. Pace founded the business in 1955, starting from a house at Canfield and Anita before the shop moved to McGowen Street. We are not a company that lists Third Ward as a service area. We are the plumbing company that has been in it for seventy years.
The plumbing in Third Ward
Third Ward housing runs to early and mid century bungalows and shotgun houses, much of it originally plumbed in galvanized steel and cast iron. That material has aged out. What we see most here is repeat leaks in galvanized supply lines, cast iron drain lines that have started to fail, and root intrusion from mature trees into clay sewer joints. Newer infill construction sits right next to it, so two houses on the same block can need completely different work.
