Forrest Thompson
Owner & Operator · Licensed Plumber · In Business Since 2024
I'm Forrest, owner and operator of Forrest The Plumber, and I've been working in the plumbing industry since 1996. With more than 30 years of hands-on experience, I've seen just about every plumbing problem you can imagine — and learned how to fix it the right way.
I specialize in residential plumbing services, including repairs, installations, drain cleaning, and sewer and water line work. My approach is simple: show up on time, explain the problem clearly, use quality materials, and stand behind the work. I believe homeowners deserve honest answers and dependable solutions, not pressure or shortcuts.
As a locally owned, family-operated business, I take pride in serving Knoxville, Seymour, Sevierville, Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, and surrounding East Tennessee communities.
"This isn't just where I work — it's home. Every job is personal, because my reputation is built right here. For me, plumbing is more than a trade. It's how I serve my community and take care of the people who trust me in their homes."
Aimee Thompson
Office Manager · Co-Owner
Behind every great plumber is someone keeping everything running smoothly — and for Forrest the Plumber, that's Aimee. As Office Manager and co-owner, Aimee handles the business side so Forrest and the crew can stay focused on what they do best. From scheduling and customer communication to keeping the operation organized and on track, she's the backbone of the business.
Aimee brings the same dedication and work ethic to the office that the team brings to every job site. If you've ever called us, gotten a prompt reply, or experienced how smoothly a service visit is coordinated — that's Aimee at work. We wouldn't run as well without her.
Larry King
Journeyman Plumber · 4 Years with Forrest the Plumber
Larry is a journeyman plumber and one of the most dependable members of our team. In his 4 years with Forrest the Plumber, he's become Forrest's right hand — the kind of guy you can count on to show up, do the job right, and treat every customer's home with the same respect he'd give his own.
Customers consistently trust Larry because he brings the same honesty and work ethic to every job that defines the whole Forrest the Plumber team. When Larry's on the job, you're in good hands.
Ernest Hall
Apprentice Plumber · 1 Year with Forrest the Plumber
At 22 years old, Ernest is the newest member of the team — and one of the most driven. In his first year with Forrest the Plumber, he's thrown himself into every aspect of the trade, from new construction rough-ins to service calls and everything in between. He's not here to learn just one side of plumbing; he wants to learn it all.
Ernest's eagerness and work ethic make him a great fit for a team that's built on doing things right. He's learning the trade the way it should be learned — hands-on, on real jobs, with high standards from day one.
Kevin Johnson
Construction & Plumbing Specialist
Kevin is one of the most well-rounded guys on the crew. With deep knowledge spanning all aspects of construction — including a strong command of plumbing — he brings a level of versatility that's hard to find. He's Forrest's brother-in-law, which means he's not just a coworker; he's family, and that shows in the way he works.
Hard-working and determined, Kevin tackles every job with the same focus and reliability the whole team is known for. Whether it's a straightforward plumbing task or something that calls for broader construction expertise, Kevin gets it done right.
Jordan Dozier
Apprentice Plumber · 1 Year with Forrest the Plumber
Jordan brings a level of determination that stands out from day one. In his first year as an apprentice with Forrest the Plumber, he's shown up ready to work, ready to learn, and ready to push through whatever the job throws at him. That attitude goes a long way in this trade.
He's absorbing everything the trade has to offer — from residential repairs to new construction — and doing it with the kind of focus that makes you confident he'll be a standout plumber. We're glad to have him on the crew.
