Company History

The business began nearly 40 years ago when brothers Jack and Rich Herra bought a small Lily Lake plumbing shop and moved it to Elburn in the early 1980s. The team grew slowly, adding office staff and field technicians, many from the Herra family. Over the decades the shop expanded into heating, cooling, electric, radiant, and geothermal work while keeping a neighborhood approach to service.

Leadership

Brian Herra, the current owner, grew up in the shop and earned a business degree from Aurora University while completing his plumbing apprenticeship. He received his plumbing license in 2002 and purchased the company in 2011. Brian still spends time in the field, manages operations, and meets customers across the service area.
