Started with one truck. Still local, still family-run.
Twenty-seven years of fixing what's broken and being straight with the people who live here.
Still hands-on after almost thirty yearsA pager, a pickup truck, and a promise to be straight with people
Walt Ironwood learned plumbing from his uncle and started the company in 1998 after one too many customers told him they wished someone would just tell them the truth about their pipes. He bought a used truck, printed some business cards at the copy shop, and started taking calls around Maple Grove.
Almost thirty years later, we're still family-owned, we still answer our own phones, and Walt still shows up to the occasional job himself. The crew has grown, but the promise hasn't changed: honest work, fair pricing, and treating your home like it's ours.
The values that haven't changed since 1998
Honesty first
We tell you what's actually wrong, what it costs, and when a repair isn't worth it.
Local roots
Every truck, every technician, every dollar we make stays right here in Maple Grove.
Real craftsmanship
We'd rather do a job right and take an extra hour than do it fast and see you again next month.
Show up on time
We give you a real window, call when we're on the way, and respect that your day matters too.
