Company History

This is the third generation of family ownership. The business started with Jim McGrath, later operated by Wade McGrath in 1985, and was purchased by the current owners in June 1995. Over the decades the company grew from small service calls to local installations and underground water line work.

Recent investments include a new water leak detection system to find broken pipes under concrete and in yards. That tool has helped locate leaks faster on older Oroville properties and in foothill homes with deeper yard lines.

Leadership

The owner moved to Oroville in the 1960s and attended Oroville High School and Butte College. He ran two earlier businesses before settling on plumbing. He and his wife have been married for 37 years and raised two sons. One son works alongside him and often handles field work.

Local presence matters to the owner. He knows the climate here—hot, dry summers and occasional winter storms—and how that affects pipes, heaters, and irrigation. That practical knowledge guides many repair decisions.
