Washington County plumbing, one truck.
Washington County is rural and spread out, and a lot of it is on well water and septic rather than municipal service. That changes what a plumbing call looks like before anybody opens a wall.

Working Washington County
Wells, pressure tanks and long service runs out past the Tombigbee, where iron in the water is ordinary.
Paul Evans has run this shop since 2023 as a deliberate one-man operation. The person who picks up is the person who shows up, which across a county this size means a straight answer about when he can be there instead of a window somebody else promised.
Every job carries license MP4379 and his own name. The full service list applies in every town here, and you can see the work in the gallery or send a message.
What Washington County work looks like
Wells, pumps and pressure tanks
Much of Washington County is on well water rather than municipal service, which changes the whole job. Pressure comes from a tank and a switch rather than a main, and when pressure goes strange the cause is as likely to be the tank or the switch as anything in the house plumbing.
Sediment and iron
Well water here carries iron and sediment that municipal supply does not. It shortens the life of water heaters, clogs aerators and cartridges, and stains fixtures. Filtration is not a luxury upgrade in this part of the county, it is maintenance that pays for itself in equipment life.
Long runs, rural lots
Houses sit further apart and service runs are longer, which means a leak underground can run a long time before anything shows at the surface or on a bill. Shut the house down and watch the meter or the pump cycle; a pump that kicks on with nothing running is telling you something.
When the pump is the problem
On a well system a pressure complaint is as likely to be the tank, the switch or the pump as anything in the house plumbing. Checking the tank’s air charge before touching a fixture saves chasing the wrong thing.
Septic changes what can go down
On septic, a garbage disposal and heavy chemical cleaner are both harder on the system than most people realize. What goes down the drain matters more here than it does on a municipal line.

Things worth doing yourself
None of this needs a plumber. It’s the short list that prevents the calls nobody wants to make.
- Shut off valve Know where the main shut off is and turn it by hand once a year. The moment you need it is the worst moment to discover it is seized.
- Water heater Check the T and P valve and look at the base of the tank for rust or damp. Five minutes, twice a year.
- Drains Hot water and a drain screen beat chemical cleaner. Caustic drain products damage older pipe and make a cable job messier later.
- Hose bibs Disconnect hoses before the first hard freeze. A connected hose holds water in the bib and that is what splits it.
- Toilets A drop of food coloring in the tank will tell you in ten minutes whether the flapper leaks.
Straight answers
Still not sure? Ask Paul directly.
Do you cover all of Washington County?
All 14 towns listed on this page, worked out of Wilmer, roughly a 50 mile radius.
Will you try to sell me a replacement?
No. There is no commission structure here and no quota, so if a repair will hold, that is what you get told.
Do you work on older homes?
Yes. A lot of the housing stock here is older, and cast iron, galvanized and polybutylene all behave differently. That is diagnosis work, which is the part that matters.
Who actually shows up?
Paul Evans. Every time. LT Drain is a one-truck, one-man operation on purpose, so the person who answers your call is the person who does the work.
