Company History

The Plug Buster began as a one-person business in 1988. Over time it moved from solo work to a family operation when the founder's son returned from military service. The shop grew by focusing on dependable fieldwork: drain cleaning, thawing frozen water and sewer lines, and septic pumping.

For decades the company has worked on a mix of older valley homes, newer subdivisions, and small commercial properties. That range of projects built practical experience with the region’s soils, seasonal freezing, and rural septic systems.

Leadership

Ron, the founder, came from a construction background and has decades of hands-on building and teaching experience. He started The Plug Buster after a brief teaching career in construction trades and later expanded the business with his son John. Ron has been active in scouting and community work for many years.

The leadership combines field skills and local knowledge. That helps with realistic timelines, clear quotes, and practical repairs that fit valley homes and businesses.
