Cajun-built, Gulf Coast proven.

The stakes
A single pinhole can take the whole unit down.
Tube failures are the leading cause of forced outages in fired equipment. Left to escalate, one leak becomes a shutdown — lost production measured in hundreds of thousands of dollars before the unit is even cold. The job is to get in, make a sound repair, and get you back online without a repeat failure.

The founder
Built on the floor, not the org chart.
Jude Aymond has spent a career on Gulf Coast boilers and process furnaces — from welder and fitter to running production and leading field service in the plants where this work actually happens. Jude’s Tubes is that experience, working directly for you.
No layers, no rotating B-team. When you call, you get the person who has made these repairs for decades — scoping the work, standing on the deck, and accountable for the result. That is the difference between a vendor and a partner you call back.
