Company History

The business started as a small meter and parts counter decades ago. Over time it added plumbing inspection work and technician services to meet local needs. Growth came slowly and through repeat customers — contractors, city crews, and homeowners who prefer dealing with a local shop rather than a distant supplier.

The shop sits near Decatur’s mix of older neighborhoods and agricultural corridors. That location made it practical to stock parts for both modest homes and farmstead plumbing. A steady focus on practical problem-solving helped the business expand its service area across Central Illinois.

Leadership

Local managers with hands-on experience lead the team. The leadership has trade experience and long ties to the Decatur community. They work with area contractors and municipal crews and take part in local business groups to stay connected to city needs.

Specialties & Highlights

• Experienced meter testing and plumbing inspection tailored to older homes.
• Quick parts sourcing for out-of-production fittings common in farm buildings.
• Local technicians familiar with Decatur’s weather challenges — cold winters and humid summers affect piping and meters.
• Practical, in-person technical advice at the counter for do-it-yourselfers and pros alike.
