David Sousa Plumbing and Heating Co., LLC was established in 2002 in Danbury, Connecticut, and is owned, managed, and run exclusively by David and Elizabeth Sousa. David is a 1992 graduate of Henry Abbott Technical School’s Plumbing and HVAC program who worked part-time for a plumbing contractor while in school and continued full-time upon graduation — following in his father’s footsteps in a trade he describes being drawn to since childhood, long before he was old enough to actually hold a wrench. Elizabeth, a Registered Nurse, left nursing to help David start and run the family business after the birth of their younger child.
The company is fully licensed and insured to perform unlimited plumbing, heating, air conditioning, roof drain, gas piping, and ventilation installation and repair for residential, commercial, industrial, and municipal clients — a licensing scope broader than many residential-focused plumbers carry, reflecting David’s comprehensive HVAC and plumbing technical training.
Education is central to how David Sousa Plumbing operates: rather than simply telling customers what they need, David spends significant time explaining the available options so customers have a full understanding before deciding how to proceed. The company describes this transparency as core to its “honest, old time business ethics in a modern day practice,” and specifically notes that David is not quick to recommend costly replacements when a more affordable repair would serve the customer just as well — an approach that has helped the company grow almost entirely through word-of-mouth referrals rather than heavy advertising.
Same-day service is available for most plumbing repairs, addressing the reality that plumbing emergencies — burst pipes, failed water heaters, major clogs — cause immediate disruption and potential property damage if not resolved quickly. The company also offers eco-friendly plumbing repair options designed to help customers conserve water and reduce utility costs, alongside standard services covering leaky faucets, clogged drains, water heater repair, and gas line work.
For homeowners and businesses in Danbury and the surrounding area looking for a family-owned plumbing and heating company with more than two decades of operation, comprehensive licensing across plumbing, HVAC, and gas work, and a documented emphasis on customer education over upselling, David Sousa Plumbing and Heating Co. offers a genuinely owner-operated relationship built on referral-driven trust.
