Company History

Started in 1980, Garrelts & Sons grew from a two-person operation to a small local crew of licensed tradespeople. Early work focused on repairing cast-iron pipes and well systems common in older McHenry County homes. Over the years the company added water treatment services and light remodeling work for kitchens and bathrooms.

Free water testing became a regular offering after customers asked about iron, hardness, and taste issues. That testing helped shape the water-treatment side of the business.

Leadership

Leadership stays local and practical. The Garrelts family remains involved in daily operations. Management emphasizes field experience and licensure: every plumber is licensed and trained for safety and code compliance.

Staff participate in local trade groups and community events. That keeps the business plugged into area plumbing trends and local building practices.
