Pump Installation in Kilgore and across East Texas
Sump, sewage, booster, and process pumps installed and commissioned.
What brings people to this page
You need a pump installed, sized correctly, and wired and piped so it actually lasts.
How we handle it
Pump failures usually trace back to bad sizing or bad installation, not bad pumps. We size for the actual head and flow required, install with proper isolation valving and check valves so servicing does not mean draining the system, and commission the pump under real load before we leave.
Signs you need pump installation
- A new sump, sewage, or booster pump needed
- A failed pump needing replacement
- Low pressure requiring a booster
- New construction requiring lift or process pumps
- A pump that short cycles or runs constantly
If any of that sounds like what you are dealing with, get in touch and we will take a look. You can also call (903) 570-3051 any hour of the day.
What actually happens when you call us out
1. We look before we quote
We look at what you actually have before recommending anything. That means checking capacity, existing connections, venting where it applies, and whether the space and supply can support what you are asking for.
2. You get a real number
You get the full figure before we order anything: equipment, labor, permit, and any related work the install genuinely requires. Nothing gets discovered later that we could have seen on day one.
3. We do the work
Installation is done to code with the correct materials and connections, permitted and inspected where Texas requires it. We do not skip the permit to shave a day off the schedule.
4. We check it and clean up
We commission the work under real conditions rather than just confirming it turns on, then walk you through operating and maintaining it before we leave.
What changes the price on pump installation
Industrial pump installation is priced around the facility and the consequences of downtime more than around the raw labor hours. What matters:
- Whether the work can wait for a scheduled shutdown or has to happen live.
- Materials and their compatibility with what runs through the system.
- Access, height, and confined space considerations on the site.
- How critical the system is and whether redundancy is needed.
- Coordination with your maintenance team and any site safety requirements.
We will not list a price on this page, because anybody who quotes pump installation sight unseen is either guessing or planning to change the number later. What we will promise is that you hear the real figure before we start, and if something unexpected turns up mid job we stop and talk to you rather than adding it to the invoice quietly.
Why it is worth doing properly
An install is the one chance to get it right cheaply. Undersized equipment, a gas line that cannot feed the appliance, missing venting, or a skipped permit all get much more expensive to correct after the walls close and the inspection is behind you. Done properly the first time, pump installation is something you stop thinking about for a decade or more.
What you get from a small shop instead of a big one
Odyssey is deliberately small. That is not a limitation we are apologizing for, it is the entire point. When you call about pump installation, you are talking to the people who will actually be at your property, not a dispatcher reading from a script and not a rotating roster of subcontractors who have never seen your building before.
It also means we cannot afford a bad job. A large outfit can absorb a handful of unhappy customers a month and keep running on advertising spend. We cannot, and we do not want to. Nearly everything we do comes from somebody who used us before or from a neighbor who told them to call. That is a much harder standard to meet than a marketing budget, and it is the reason we would rather talk you out of unnecessary work than sell it to you. You can see photographs of real jobs we have finished rather than stock images of somebody else’s pipe.
Why people keep our number
Honest diagnosis
We tell you what is actually wrong, including when it is smaller than you feared and the invoice is smaller with it.
A real price first
You hear the number before we start. If we open a wall and find something neither of us expected, we stop and talk to you.
Work that holds
Licensed Master Plumber work, done to code, cleaned up after. If something we installed fails in warranty, we come back.
A veteran-owned shop out of Kilgore
Stephen Crutchfield started Odyssey Plumbing Co in 2022 because he had watched other plumbers in East Texas treat customers badly: work sold that was not needed, prices that changed between the front door and the invoice, jobs left half cleaned up. He built this company to be the opposite of that.
Stephen is a licensed Master Plumber and holds a Water Protection Specialist certification, and he is the one who answers the phone when you call. We are veteran-owned, we are local, and our name is on every job we finish. Read more about how we got started or look at photos of actual work.

Questions about pump installation
How do you size a pump?
By required flow and total head, not by matching whatever was there. The old one may have been wrong.
Do you install isolation valves?
Yes, always where practical. It makes every future service call faster and cheaper.
Can you install a backup or duplex system?
Yes, and for critical applications it is worth the cost.
Do you handle the electrical?
We coordinate it, and handle what falls within plumbing scope.
Do you commission it under load?
Yes. A pump that works on a bench and fails under real conditions is not a finished install.
Prefer to talk it through?
Call and talk to Stephen directly. He is a Master Plumber, not a call center, so you get a straight answer from the person who will do the work.
