A Legacy of Craftsmanship. A Future Built on Trust.

Keough Mechanical Corp. all began with Thomas E. Keough’s dream. In 1916, he began working for The United Plumbing Company of Gary, Indiana, where he immersed himself in every aspect of the plumbing and piping trade. It didn’t take long for him to discover a passion for designing and building complete plumbing systems—a passion that would become the foundation of a multi-generational family business.

Thirty years later, Thomas took a leap of faith and founded Thos. E. Keough Plumbing and Heating in 1946. What started as a small, local operation quickly grew, thanks to a reputation for quality workmanship, personal integrity, and a deep commitment to clients.

Today, that legacy lives on. Now in its fourth generation, Keough Mechanical Corp. continues to deliver unparalleled service and expert plumbing and piping solutions across residential, commercial, and industrial markets. While our name has evolved, our core values haven’t changed: craftsmanship, reliability, and earning the trust of every client we work with.

From large-scale construction projects to complex system upgrades, our team of experienced professionals brings the same dedication to excellence that Thomas Keough instilled more than 75 years ago.
