50 YEARS OF PLUMBING HISTORY

Charles Busby, Sr.’s passion was hard work and he instilled that same passion in all of his children. His ideas were simple, “get up, go to work and do a good job”. He believed in an honest day’s work for an honest wage, and we are still in business today working by that same standard. Charles Busby, Sr. was 36 years old when he decided to get his master’s plumbing license (M-5741) and go out on his own. 

With the skills he received in the first 10 years on his own, plumbing in Fort Worth, TX, his company began to grow servicing a 20-mile radius. When his eldest son (Charles Busby, Jr) was just strong enough to carry a wrench, he was thrown into the ranks of helper, which meant “go get that quickly!” Charles Jr. learned the plumbing trade through on-the-job experience, under pressure, and earned his Journeyman’s license before turning 18. He went on to achieve his master’s license shortly after. During this time, Charles Sr.’s youngest son (Dana Busby Sr.) was being put through the same rigorous work study learning his family’s trade. Everyone in the family has worked at Busby’s Plumbing Services at some point and time. 

In 1987, Charles Busby Sr. decided to move to Mexia, TX with his wife and youngest son. He left Charles Jr. in charge of the Fort Worth location and started his new location in Mexia, TX. He continued to grow Busby Plumbing Services throughout both the communities of Mexia and Fort Worth. Charles Busby, Sr. passed away in 2005 leaving a legacy we are proud to continue. He taught his family honesty, integrity and hard work.  We are committed to honoring his vision by delivering the highest quality craftsmanship and unparalleled customer service while continuing to provide our customers with an honest day’s work – guaranteed.
