Our History

The History of Keefe Plumbing

Keefe Plumbing Co., Inc. was founded in 1950 by Jack A. Keefe in the basement of his home in the Brainerd area. He initially worked out of a Chevrolet car with the back seat removed, where he kept his pipe fittings in coffee cans and his tools in the trunk. The pipe was carried underneath the car and strapped to the front and rear bumpers. Approximately five years later, he moved the business to a storefront on Brainerd Road. 


Mike Keefe joined his father in 1963. They worked together as partners until 1975, at which time Jack Keefe retired and sold his interest in the company to Mike. Mike served on the Tennessee Association of Plumbing, Heating, Cooling Contractors board of directors for several years. In 1991, Mike’s daughter, Kay, joined him in the business. After several years of working with Mike, she obtained her master plumber license, becoming the first female master plumber in Chattanooga.
