Company History
David Hardee began working in plumbing and drain cleaning about 30 years ago. Over the decades he built experience in sewer line cleaning and plumbing repair. Two years ago the Hardees sold an established company to scale back and focus on hands-on quality for local customers. The business keeps a local, non-franchise approach and handles many jobs personally rather than sending large crews.
Leadership
David Hardee brings three decades of field experience. He is known locally for practical solutions to clogged systems and busted lines. Tammy Hardee manages the office and customer care, scheduling jobs and answering questions. Their presence in Leland means quick local response and familiarity with coastal plumbing issues like salt air corrosion and tree roots in sandy soil.
Specialties & Highlights
- Hydro-jetting for tough, recurring blockages.
- Video camera inspections to pinpoint problems without excavation.
- Experienced water heater installation and recirculation pump service.
- Personal service from a small husband-and-wife team, not a large franchise.
