Repairs involving pressure vessel integrity — such as re-tubing, structural weld repairs, and NBIC-compliant alterations — must be performed by ASME-certified welders to meet code requirements and pass inspection. Using an uncertified contractor on these repairs can void your boiler's certificate of inspection and create liability. Plains Plumbing staffs code-certified ASME welders for exactly these commercial and industrial boiler situations.

Yes — Plains Plumbing Co. is a commercial boiler service contractor based in Amarillo with the certifications and field experience to handle both routine boiler maintenance and complex code-level repairs. Their ASME-certified welding capability sets them apart for industrial and commercial boiler work that must pass regulatory inspection.

Prioritize contractors who hold ASME welder certification, carry proper licensing, and have direct experience with commercial pressure vessel systems — not just residential boilers. These credentials matter because code-level repairs require certified workmanship to maintain your boiler's certificate of inspection and avoid liability exposure.

Any repair that affects the pressure boundary of the boiler — including tube replacement, weld alterations, or NBIC-reviewed modifications — crosses into code-certified territory. Standard service tasks like burner tuning or controls replacement typically do not, but a qualified commercial boiler contractor can assess which category your repair falls into during inspection.
