Our History
Mickie Service was started in Houston, TX in the mid-1970’s by Lee Gregory, one of the leaders of the Houston civil construction industry. At the time, Mickie Service business was water main construction, water main repairs, hot taps and meter installation. In addition to being a great entrepreneur, Lee Gregory had a super eye for finding exceptional employees. He hired Elaine (who knows more about hot taps in the greater Houston area than anyone else – hands down), Kenny, Joe D, Willie, Popcorn, Jose, and John – (the guys who made all those taps – and, for Jose, still are making taps today!). In the mid-90’s, Lee sold the business to James Moheet who brought a strong engineering background and an excellent reputation with the City of Houston. For the next decade, the business continued to thrive by offering unparalleled service and expertise. When Mickie Service came to the construction site – everyone knew the tap was going to be made – right.
