PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨

Please look out for the people around you — your parents, grandparents, neighbors, and anyone who may be vulnerable to scams.

Yesterday, I met the sweetest older woman while looking at a problem in her basement. During our conversation, she mentioned that her water heater had just been replaced and that this time she “upgraded to the commercial model.” The problem was… it wasn’t a commercial unit at all. It was a standard residential water heater.

Then she told me what she paid.

It was nearly 6x what we would charge for the same job.

Now, I normally don’t pay much attention to price differences between plumbing companies. Every business has different overhead, different service levels, and different ways of operating. My prices may not always be the cheapest either — but they are a fair reflection of what it costs to run a licensed, insured, professional business and still make an honest profit.

But this situation was different.

This was someone clearly taking advantage of a vulnerable person.

Not only was the customer sold something that wasn’t what she was promised, but the workmanship itself wasn’t even close to industry standard.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of people out there claiming to be plumbers who are really just salespeople. There are also many unlicensed and uninsured contractors who either don’t know how to do the work properly… or worse, are intentionally scamming people.

Please look after one another.

Ask trusted friends and family for recommendations. Get second opinions. And don’t let a pushy salesperson pressure you into making a decision if something doesn’t feel right.

There are still honest contractors out there who truly care about doing things the right way and treating people fairly.

It’s such a beautiful morning.

I’m usually in such a hurry that I forget to slow down and feel any gratitude. The other day I was talking to a very old family friend, and he said, “I’m so impressed by what you’ve been able to do in such a short amount of time.”

That stuck with me.

I catch myself thinking, this isn’t where I thought I’d be five years ago, and the truth is, even two and a half years ago, I had no idea where I was or where I was going.

Today, I’m here.

And I didn’t get here alone. People believed in me. People helped me. And for that, I’m incredibly grateful.

I’m also thankful that I’ve found myself here—that something I’m so passionate about, something that helps so many people, has turned into a way to make a living.

Plumbing gave me purpose… and somehow, it turned into a company.

If you need help, I’m always here to talk. And if you or someone you know needs reliable, honest plumbing work, feel free to reach out—I’d be glad to help.

There’s something powerful about American-made.

Just a quick reminder of the wide range of plumbing work our team can handle.

This picture shows a recent repair we completed on a 6-inch water main that serves an entire apartment complex — a great example of the large-scale projects we’re equipped to take on.

In addition to major commercial repairs like this, we also offer full plumbing excavation and repair services for residential water, sewer, and septic systems, as well as commercial excavation and plumbing repairs of all sizes.

Our team is also available on short notice for emergency repairs, so when unexpected issues arise, you can count on us to respond quickly and get things back up and running.

No matter the scope of the job, we’re committed to providing quality workmanship, reliable service, and lasting solutions.

If you’re in need of plumbing or excavation work — residential or commercial — don’t hesitate to reach out.

I wanted to take a moment to share something a little more personal, as many of our friends and customers knew my father — either personally or through business.

After two years, several drafts, and a lot of thoughtful input from family and friends, we finally ordered his headstone from Barnes Memorials a few months ago, and it was set late last week. We’re really pleased with how it turned out, and I wanted to share it here since so many people had asked about it.

A special thank-you goes out to Tom Beck, who runs Riverview Cemetery. Tom has been a longtime friend and knew my dad very well. He gave my son and me the opportunity to help pour the footer for the new headstone — an incredibly kind gesture and something I know my dad would have truly appreciated.

We’re so grateful for everyone who has offered kind words, support, and encouragement over these past two years, and to all who have continued supporting our new business as we grow.

Please feel free to share this post with anyone who knew my dad, and if you get the chance, I’d love for you to visit his resting place.

We had just finished up some work in the bathroom of a beautiful old home in Baldwinsville when the homeowner discovered the basement floor was unexpectedly wet.

It turned out that the water service connection in the street had broken, and the resulting stress caused the private side of the water service to fail as well. This was the original galvanized waterline—likely close to 100 years old.

In just one day, we:
✅ Cut, removed, and replaced the sidewalk
✅ Excavated from the porch to the road
✅ Drove the new pipe under the porch from the basement
✅ Rerouted the interior plumbing to connect to the new water service
✅ Backfilled the trench and raked out the yard

The customer now has a seamless copper water service, ready for the next 100 years.

Every month, I get a report from Google showing what people search when they find my website. And guess what the top search is every time?
"Plumber near me."

Well... it’s hard to get much closer than us.

My grandfather was a plumber in Onondaga County. So was his uncle. So was my dad. And now, here I am — carrying it on. Over the years, there probably isn't a street in this county we haven't worked on.

I like to say: you’ve probably eaten at a restaurant where I did the plumbing.

That kind of experience and local knowledge ties us to this community in a real way.

Every company on this list is owned at least 51% by an Onondaga County licensed master plumber:

There are some big, flashy plumbing companies that aren’t on that list.
They might show up in your search — but they’re not “plumber near me.” Not really.

If you’re looking for a plumber who’s truly local, give us a call:
