New Office Staff and Plumber

Desi is our new office manager and dispatcher and warehouse person and mail person and HR person. She says "Hello" and is happy to be of service to our old and new customers.

Jose is our new licensed plumber. He has seven years in plumbing repair and service (that's what we do), so he's a great fit. He's a Bellingham native and Sehome High School graduate. He's fluent in Spanish, by the way.

Plumbing Help Needed!

Only people who love their service plumbing career, please.

Licensed service plumbers needed badly here. We're turning down more Bellingham plumbing work than we do. Local service experience a plus, but service experience is mandatory, for the plumber position. No new construction plumbers as this is a service company.

Flat rate pricing, but we need a person who can bid service jobs using our parameters. We're not the most expensive plumbers in town or the cheapest.

Best pay in Bellingham, quality health insurance, PTO.

Monday through Friday, 8-4:30. Overtime as needed, of course.

99% local plumbing work right now. 

We do background and drug tests.

Email us your resume including your license number.

Here's to another 20!

Bellingham Freeze

 

Bellingham Freeze-Broke Hose Faucet

The Big Freeze won't be soon forgotten by any local plumber; we never worked so hard repairing water pipes under worse conditions.

It ain't over yet. In this picture is the smallest break I've seen this year. When the faucet was turned on, the smallest amount of water would dribble out. The sharp-eyed tenant spotted it right off.

Watch for unusual wetness around your wall when the faucet is turned on.
