Military Plumbing, a trusted name in residential and commercial plumbing across Northeast Texas, has officially relocated its headquarters to 5954 Highway 34 S, Quinlan, TX 75474. The move comes after years of growth and strong community support in Caddo Mills and surrounding areas. Owned and operated by Jeff and Kimberly Whitworth, Military Plumbing has served the greater DFW Metroplex with faith-based, family-style service since 2012. The relocation marks a new chapter for the company as it continues to expand operations, improve accessibility, and reinforce its long-standing commitment to exceptional service across 26+ cities in the region.

We're excited to welcome our new neighbors with the same integrity and care that built our reputation.' A Strategic Move Rooted in Service The decision to move was not made lightly. After several years in Caddo Mills, the Whitworths sought a location that could support their growing staff, upgraded equipment, and broader service goals - while still staying true to their hometown values.
