Kelm Plumbing in Galveston, TX

Serving Galveston

Galveston Island faces the Gulf on one side and Galveston Bay on the other. Its housing ranges from historic homes to raised beach houses, and salt air and storm exposure shape how every system should be built.

Kelm Plumbing provides residential plumbing for homeowners in Galveston. We’re a local, family-run part of Kelm Home Services, based in Santa Fe, and the licenses behind the work are held by owner Clint Kelm: RMPL #41051.

What to know about Galveston homes

• On the island, elevated homes and salt air mean plumbing runs and fixtures need careful material choices and protection.
• Coastal conditions can be hard on exposed fixtures and hose bibs. We choose materials suited to the location.
• After high water, water heaters and gas appliances should be checked before use. We help homeowners here with post-storm plumbing checks.
• Established neighborhoods here often have aging supply lines and drains, so leak repairs and repipe evaluations are common.
• Raised homes have exposed piping below the living level that should be protected and periodically checked.
