Locally-Owned, Family-Run

Isaiah, or “Zae” as we call him, joined the team in early 2025. Prior to coming aboard, he worked in motorcycle sales. Now, we pride ourselves on having an awesome culture, and we truly care about our team. As a good friend of our Senior Service Technician, Josef, Zae had an unique insight to what life could be like in the trades. He was inspired by the passion he witnessed, and we are so glad it inspired him to join us. His ability to communicate with our customers that same passion has already made him an awesome addition. He demonstrates a sincere desire to learn and grow every single day! Zae lives here in Anderson with his girlfriend, Mea, his cat “Ash”, and his bearded-dragon, “Po”. He is still passionate about motorcycles and can be seen riding often with both Josef and Alberto. He is a budding guitarist as well! Zae’s cheerful and fun personality make him an entertaining part of any job, and we can’t wait to see him excel in the industry.

In our industry, we often hear sayings like “the trades are dying” as many companies struggle to find young adults to join their team. We are very proud to say we have several young members of our crew who do amazing jobs! So, when Jacob came to us as a fresh-faced 18 year old, we were excited to meet him. With a background in plumbing, a drive to succeed, and a cheerful outlook on life, we knew he would make an awesome addition. He joined the team early in 2025, and we are so glad to watch him grow as a tradesman. Jacob resides in Anderson with his father and brother. In his free time, he enjoys working on cars and hanging with friends.

Lucas is a local high-school student working to learn our trade! At only 16, Lucas has a surprising skill in the field – and has even repaired some minor issues at his own school! Lucas is an impressive defensive lineman for his varsity football team. He also placed 4th in the SC State Wrestling competition in 2024 as only as second-year wrestler. He also plays guitar. Even though he is young, Lucas is a skilled apprentice in any truck!

Bridget joined the team in August of 2024 as a part time Administrative Support Clerk. With very little experience, Bridget amazed us all at her ability to complete tasks quickly, yet meticulously while needing very little oversight. Her organizational skills and initiative made her an integral member of our team, and we knew that she had an awesome potential to grow within the organization – and she has done just that! Bridget was promoted to full-time Service Coordinator in February of 2025, making her the friendly voice many of our customers will hear when they call us. We are so excited to watch her excel! Bridget lives locally in Abbeville county with her son, Rhett. Together they enjoy a multitude of outdoor activities like biking and camping. She will always take advantage of a beautiful day. Bridget’s bright smile and cheerful demeanor make her not only a joy for our customers but also a morale boost for our team.

Our newest member of the team, James joined us in the spring of 2024. Jumping in with impressive ambition and dedication right from the start, James has been invaluable! Though he had almost no knowledge in the plumbing field, he has been truly intentional with his learning and continues to amaze us each day. He already holds certifications in drain clearing and Rinnai tankless technology. James came to us after years of working with animals, and is an avid dog-lover. He is always excited to meet our customer’s pets! James resides in Anderson with his rescue dog, Cedar.

Alberto, affectionately known to us as “Maui”, has been with the team since March of 2023. Stepping into the role of lead technician in the spring of 2024, Alberto has dedicated himself to learning and improving his skills! He has a Bachelor’s degree in Biology, and this has contributed to his passion concerning water quality! Along with Doug, Alberto has spearheaded our efforts to become the premier water quality experts in the upstate and cemented our partnership with Halo Water Filtration Systems. Additionally, Alberto loves eclectic cuisines – particularly gourmet mushrooms! He grows several varieties at his Anderson home he shares with his beautiful wife Stella and their dog, Rosie. Alberto holds certifications with both Navien and Rinnai tankless technology and drain clearing.

Richard has been with the team almost since the very beginning. His loyalty and dedication is unmatched! Richard is the technician who never goes home without checking in with every other team member to be see if they need help and never minds staying late to take care of a customer. He is an awesome service and install technician, but Richard’s specialty is drain work! Richard is by far the best on the team at clearing a blockage and running a tractor to place a new line. Like most of our team, Richard is certified in drain clearing and both Navien and Rinnai tankless technology. He calls Seneca home where he enjoys spending time with his sweet mom, his son, and his dog, Calisto.

Matt, short for Mattox – not Matthew, has been with our team for over two years. He has an Associate’s degree in Building Construction, but thankfully decided that plumbing was the career for him! Don’t let his quiet and reserved nature fool you, Matt is incredibly clever and has a charming sense of humor. He is actively involved with his local church, enjoys riding his motorcycle, and is a die-hard chocolate fan. He is never very far from a Fudge Round or Hershey bar! Matt holds certifications in Rinnai tankless technology and drain clearing.

As a young professional in the field, Josef has a commanding knowledge. With over ten years of experience, Josef leads our service team! Passionate about providing quality service, Josef sets a high standard for our team. He is always sure to educate his customers on all their options and seeks to partner with them for the long-term health of their home plumbing! He is certified with both Navien and Rinnai tankless technology as well as being certified drain clearing technology. In his spare time, Josef enjoys riding his motorcycle, playing guitar, and spending time with cat Reagan.

Jessica never expected to build a career in the trades, but she has become passionate about the industry! She graduated from Anderson University with a B.A. in English in 2007 – just one week before she married Doug. She was a homeschooling mom for many years before she got heavily involved with our company in 2020. As a mom of five children, she brought her organizational and delegating skills to work here! Since then, Jessica has dedicated herself to becoming an expert in business operations, and she has established herself as an authority in that time. She is the SC State chapter lead with Women in Plumbing & Piping and also serves as an advisor with this organization. Additionally, Jessica is a mentor with a national alliance of service providers known as Service Nation. She is even scheduled to speak on business practices at one of the largest service conventions in the nation in October 2024.
