Company History

Founded in the mid-2000s by a certified plumber who settled on Hawai‘i Island, the business started as a two-person operation. It grew steadily by focusing on timely repairs and practical solutions suited to coastal properties. Over the years the shop added camera inspection tools and trained staff for emergency callouts, adapting to the island’s unique plumbing demands like salt corrosion and older plantation-era homes.

Leadership

The owner and founder has decades of field experience. Leadership emphasizes hands-on training, local permits knowledge, and working with property managers on quick turnovers for vacation rentals. The company participates in community safety events and advises neighbors on simple winter-rain preparations and water-saving fixtures suitable for island households.
