Plumbing Repairs
Our licensed plumbers handle all residential and commercial plumbing emergencies, from leaky fixtures to burst pipes. Using advanced diagnostic tools, we identify issues quickly and implement durable solutions. With 24/7 emergency availability, we minimize property damage while ensuring code-compliant repairs that meet Texas regulatory standards.
Perma-Liner Installation
This innovative pipe relining technology restores damaged plumbing without excavation. By creating a new pipe within existing lines, we eliminate the need for disruptive digging while extending system lifespan. The epoxy-based solution resists corrosion and root intrusion, providing a cost-effective alternative to traditional pipe replacement.
Camera Inspections
Our high-resolution camera systems allow precise identification of clogs, cracks, and root intrusion without exploratory digging. This non-invasive technology enables accurate problem diagnosis and targeted repairs, reducing both service time and customer costs while maintaining structural integrity of properties.
HVAC Services
We provide comprehensive heating and air conditioning solutions including system installation, maintenance, and emergency repairs. Our technicians service all major brands, ensuring optimal performance through regular maintenance that extends equipment lifespan while maintaining energy efficiency standards for Lubbock's climate.
Flow-Tech Water Treatment
This chemical-free system prevents mineral buildup in plumbing and appliances using pulse technology. By neutralizing calcium and magnesium ions, it maintains water quality while protecting pipes and fixtures from scale damage, reducing maintenance needs and extending equipment longevity without altering water's mineral content.

Report
Tyler came to fix several small plumbing issues. He seemed very knowledgeable about problems with plumbing fixtures, and offered several options for repair. He also noticed some other potential problems while he was there. He wasn't pushy, just pointed out that an outside faucet would soon need replacing. He fixed it to work until it completely dies. He was professional, pleasant and helpful.

This was the third or fourth HVAC company that had come to my house. The others were trying so hard to get me to upgrade this and that, instead of just fixing the issue. The staff at Joe Rushing was amazing. From the ladies at the desk, to the gentlemen that serviced my AC. They were honest and upfront. They didn't try to force me to purchase things I didn't need. I'd trust them any day, and they'll be the only ones I go through in the future. Thanks y'all!
