Company History
The business began in 1898 with a small horse-drawn cart delivering tools and parts. Over five generations the shop moved from a Model A delivery truck to modern service vans. Family tradition remains visible in the office: the great-grandfather's tool chest sits above the reception desk as a reminder of hands-on, long-term care for customers' homes.
Leadership
Current leadership represents the fifth generation of the family. The owner and senior technicians grew up in the area and understand Baltimore plumbing challenges: older cast-iron lines, salt air near the harbor, and freeze-thaw cycles that stress pipes. They participate in local trade groups and community events and keep training current for new water treatment and leak-detection technology.
