Rooted in Family. Driven by Values. Built to Last.

Thompson Bros. Plumbing didn’t begin as a plumbing company. It began as a side business remodeling basements and bathrooms under the name THOMPSON BROS. CONSTRUCTION LLC. Founded by brothers Jesse and Jacob Thompson, the business quickly evolved from a construction venture into a full-fledged plumbing operation when Uncle Larry joined and invested in their shared vision. As plumbing became the core focus, we started doing business as Thompson Bros. Plumbing, but one thing never changed: our foundation of family values, faith, and a commitment to doing the right thing.

Our story is more than the names on the sign. We’re a true family business—not just because of who founded it, but because of the generations of employees and their families who have joined, stayed, and grown with us. Many team members have brought their own relatives to work here, and some families have seen multiple generations build careers at Thompson Brothers. That culture of trust, belonging, and shared success is a cornerstone of who we are.

Built Through Resilience

Through recessions, COVID, and countless industry shifts, we’ve adapted and persevered. These challenges sharpened our resolve and shaped our company culture. Today, we remain grounded in quality craftsmanship, honest service, and a deep care for our people. We didn’t start with a grand vision—but through steady, organic growth—adding a truck here, a crew there—we’ve built something to be proud of.

A Culture That Grows Families

One of the most unique things about our team is how often employees bring their own family members into the company—not because they’re asked to, but because they want to. Over time, we’ve welcomed siblings, spouses, parents, and extended relatives who found their place here. They may not be related to the Thompsons, but they’ve become part of the Thompson Brothers family just the same.

But beyond the jobs we finish, our greatest pride is watching people grow—buying their first cars and homes, starting families, and building stable, confident lives. That’s the kind of impact we aim to make.

Serving Our Community

We are deeply rooted in the Louisville Metro and Southern Indiana areas, not just through the work we do—but through the people we serve. Our team is active in the local community, including ongoing support for St. Paul Church and participation on the Zoeller Pump Advisory Board.

For us, service means more than showing up. It means helping our neighbors, investing in the local economy, and delivering plumbing solutions that are honest, affordable, and dependable.

Looking Ahead

Looking ahead, our vision remains rooted in sustainable growth. Whether that means expanding into new markets or someday exploring franchising, we’ll keep building carefully and intentionally. No matter how far we go, we want the Thompson Bros. name to stand for something lasting—a legacy of hard work, integrity, and people who can proudly say, “I helped build that.”

“At Thompson Bros. Plumbing, we don’t just fix problems—we build trust. Our standard is excellence, our foundation is relationships, and our success is measured by how well we serve our customers and support our team. Quality work is expected—lasting impact is our goal.”
