Company History

The business began as a one-man service in the late 1970s, focused on house calls and furnace tune-ups. Over decades the shop added apprentices and later family members. Growth was steady as the company answered calls through cold northern Illinois winters and the freeze-thaw seasons that affect older pipe systems. That experience shaped a practical approach to repairs and inspections that many longtime customers appreciate.

Leadership

The founder trained apprentices and passed trade skills to the next generation. Current managers keep ties to the Rockford community and participate in local trade groups and training programs to keep licenses current. Staff frequently work with local building inspectors on permits and code compliance.

Specialties & Highlights

• Focused plumbing inspections that identify problems before winter freezes cause damage.
• Family-operated culture with technicians who return to the same neighborhoods.
• Hands-on crew experienced with older homes, basements, and sump pump work.
