Plumber in Jacksonville, Arkansas
Jacksonville grew up around Little Rock Air Force Base, and a lot of its homes went up in the mid-1950s rush that came with it. Good Times Plumbing works on those houses every week, driving straight to your door from across central Arkansas. No storefront, just a licensed plumber who shows up.

What we see in Jacksonville homes
Local citizens raised the money to buy the land for Little Rock Air Force Base and donate it to the Air Force in the early 1950s, and once the base opened in 1955 the town took off, jumping from roughly 2,474 residents in 1950 to 14,488 by 1960. That means a big share of the housing here is now 60 to 70 years old, the age where original galvanized steel supply lines, cast iron drains, and tired shutoff valves start giving out. There's also the water. Jacksonville Water Works pumps much of its supply from twelve groundwater wells, and the utility's own reports note higher-than-usual hardness. Hard water scales up heaters, narrows pipes, and crusts fixtures, so it's a steady reason older homes here need attention.

Plumbing questions, answered
A few common ones from Jacksonville homeowners. Anything else, just call or text.
Do you serve Jacksonville?
Yes, Jacksonville is part of our central Arkansas service area, and we work there regularly. Good Times Plumbing is a local, service-area plumbing company, so our licensed plumbers come straight to your Jacksonville home. You get the same upfront pricing and the same tidy work wherever you are.
How soon can you get to Jacksonville?
We cover Jacksonville regularly, so we can usually get to you quickly. We work Monday through Friday, 8 to 5, by appointment. Call and we'll get you on the schedule as soon as we can, and we'll give you an arrival window ahead of time so you're not stuck waiting around.
Are estimates in Jacksonville free?
Yes. We come out to your Jacksonville home, look at the actual problem, and give you a free, written estimate with the price upfront before any work starts. You'll know exactly what the job costs and what it includes before you say go, with no surprises added at the end. Financing is available, just ask.
Are you licensed and insured to work in Jacksonville?
Yes. Good Times Plumbing is a licensed and insured Arkansas plumbing company, and owner Daniel Straessle holds an Arkansas Master Plumber license, MP #6740. That covers our work across central Arkansas, including Jacksonville. Gas lines and gas appliance work especially call for that licensing; gas should only ever be handled by a qualified, licensed plumber for your safety, and that's exactly who shows up at your door.
Does it cost anything to have you come out to Jacksonville?
No. Jacksonville is in our free estimate range, so there's no trip charge just for us to come look and quote the work. We walk the issue with you, explain what we recommend, and hand you a written price upfront. You only pay once you've approved the work and we've done it.
Why do the fixtures and water heater in my older Jacksonville home scale up so fast?
It usually comes down to the water. Jacksonville Water Works draws much of its supply from twelve groundwater wells rather than only the softer surface water that feeds Little Rock, and the utility's own quality information notes higher-than-usual hardness. That mineral content leaves scale inside your water heater, narrows pipes over time, and crusts up showerheads and faucets. In a 1950s or 1960s home with original lines, it adds up fast. We can look at what you've got and talk through whether a softener makes sense.

Klaus arrived before the scheduled time, kept me updated on what he was doing and what he found. Overall outstanding job.
I was very impressed with professionalism, promptness, and fair pricing. Will use again!
Klaus was extremely nice and knowledgeable. Explained everything in a way I could understand. Took pictures to show me what work was done under the house. Good Times Plumbing should be your first choice when you need a plumber.
