Company History

Forbes Plumbing began as a small construction plumbing crew focused on new-home work. Over about two decades the business added service and repair work to meet local demand. That growth came from steady referrals and repeat work on new construction, remodels, and seasonal maintenance. The company keeps a practical shop in Portage and runs service vans that are stocked for most common repairs.

Leadership

The leadership team brings 20 years of hands-on construction and plumbing experience. The founder built a background in new-home plumbing and then moved into service work to support area homeowners. Leadership hires locally, offers apprenticeships, and participates in regional trade meetings to stay current with codes and best practices.
