133
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: And looking forward to hopefully getting an interview with him. Hey,

134
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,280
Speaker 1: talk to me about the starting of CNV Plumbing. You

135
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:04,280
Speaker 1: came into the Milwaukee area and you were a carpenter,

136
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 1: worked for a carpenter, and decided four years later to

137
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 1: start your own plumbing business. Is that how that worked?

138
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 3: So? No, So I worked four years as a finished carpenter.

139
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 3: Then I switched to plumbing twenty two years ago. Now,

140
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 3: my I've had my business for eight years. The reason

141
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,919
Speaker 3: I made that switch initially from carpentry to plumbing just

142
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:27,280
Speaker 3: being in customers houses always seeing water. I just thought,

143
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 3: how is it so cool that we can get water

144
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 3: from it a lake or a well, clean it up,

145
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 3: and get it into somebody's house cleanly. I just thought

146
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 3: it was a really cool process and I want to

147
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:39,799
Speaker 3: be involved in it. Wow.

148
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: So because of that, you started the journey to be

149
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 1: a plumber. Where did you work in that field prior

150
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:47,719
Speaker 1: to starting your own company?

151
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 3: So I started as an apprentice, as all plumbers do.

152
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 3: The apprenticeship is five years long. So I went through

153
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 3: my apprenticeship and then I continued working for the same company.

154
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 3: I've only actually worked for one plumbing company, but we

155
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 3: we did a lot of different things, residential, commercial, Wells City, water, industrial,

156
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 3: anything and everything plumbing related. So I have a really

157
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 3: well rounded plumbing background.

158
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 1: Did you have an idea that when you started in

159
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 1: that field that one day'd want to own your own company.

160
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 3: I always knew, and even in high school, I always

161
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 3: wanted to have my own company. When I first started

162
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 3: as a carpenter, I thought it would be as a carpenter.

163
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 3: But then time went on, I moved on to plumbing,

164
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 3: and then I got life. That happens. You get married,

165
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 3: you have kids, and then it kind of falls to

166
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 3: the back burner until that time about eight years ago,

167
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 3: and I thought, now now's the time. So that's yeah,

168
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 3: Well you did a lot quicker than I did. I'll

169
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 3: tell you that. You know, most of my buddies you're retiring.

170
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 3: I started in a given agency three years ago and

171
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 3: they're like, Hey, we're gonna go play nine on fry.

172
00:07:55,640 --> 00:08:00,080
Speaker 1: I kind of work, like, are you kidding me? What? What?

173
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 2: Either is amazed. It's all involved. He's with Narry and

174
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 2: he's been started as a new company. He's heavily involved

175
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 2: in ary and he's just I don't know, he gets

176
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 2: all the free time he has.

177
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 3: I don't know either. Sometimes either it is your family.

178
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 3: I'm sure what part of NARRY are you involved with

179
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 3: the foundation. Yes, I'm on the foundation with BINGO and

180
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 3: as well as the outreach committee.

181
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 1: That's all good for you. What made you, if I

182
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: can get into to that part, what made you decide that, Look,

183
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: not only am I going to start my own company,

184
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: but I need to network and get involved with with

185
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 1: other professionals that do it the right way.

186
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 3: So I had actually a period of time where I

187
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 3: didn't realize I needed to be around other professionals. So

188
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 3: I worked for a time and I started thinking, you know,

189
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 3: there's a lot I don't know, and I don't you

190
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,319
Speaker 3: never know the questions you're even supposed to ask at

191
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 3: that point. So I know the owner of another plumbing

192
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 3: company who's heavily involved with NARRY, and that person, I

193
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 3: wouldn't say volunteered kind of more Bold told I'm sure

194
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:03,959
Speaker 3: most members and Mary would know who that person would be.

195
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 2: Okay, we all know, yeah, we know Jess where we

196
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:08,199
Speaker 2: all know you know who? Yes?

197
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 1: Oh yeah from Milestone.

198
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,839
Speaker 2: Yeah she's actually yeah just when Milestone. I remember when, well,

199
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 2: I remember when she used to work for somebody else.

200
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 3: She started and apprentices together actually.

201
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 1: A huge fan of hers. Ye, So I just think

202
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 1: that that she and look, I every once in a while,

203
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: I'll turn on the news and she'll be, you know,

204
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: speaking of about something and I just kind of smiled

205
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:33,719
Speaker 1: because she's just really good. And you know, you talk

206
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 1: about that servant leadership hard that people have to help

207
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 1: others and to give back to her community. Milestone Plumbing

208
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 1: has that, and I'm glad that she, you know, volunt

209
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 1: told you to get involved in this thing. I yell

210
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 1: at anybody who's on the foundation when they sit where

211
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: you're sitting, I yell at him because I think they

212
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,959
Speaker 1: need to do a better job of getting up on

213
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 1: the mountaintop and going look at look at what we're

214
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 1: trying to accomplish here, and look at the amount of

215
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 1: people were trying to help. And they kind of do

216
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,439
Speaker 1: it in the background a little bit. They do it

217
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: like below the radar, and they're given out scholarships and

218
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 1: to help people continue their education. And I don't know

219
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:11,439
Speaker 1: if they talk about it enough.

220
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 3: Well, it is a challenge. I mean, we all are

221
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:19,439
Speaker 3: excited and happy to volunteer, but when you have that

222
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:21,839
Speaker 3: volunteer mindset, you don't necessarily always want to say, hey,

223
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 3: look at what we're doing.

224
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 1: Correct.

225
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 3: We have to do that, but it's a challenge to do.

226
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 3: It's something kind of out of your comfort zone.

227
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: Hey, talk to me about if somebody asks you about

228
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:34,559
Speaker 1: C and B plumbing and kind of what your niche is.

229
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 1: Is it residential? Is it you know? Are you redoing kitchens?

230
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 1: Tell me a little bit about what you guys are

231
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:42,680
Speaker 1: known for so far.

232
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 3: So where I would say ninety nine percent residential, primarily

233
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 3: residential service and remodels. We do some new construction as well,

234
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 3: but primarily all in the residential field. So we can

235
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 3: do it all. We have done it all. We're always happy.

236
00:10:57,920 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 2: To do it.

237
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 1: Kitchen and bathroom models.

238
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 3: Yup, kitchens, bathrooms, remodels, additions, water heaters, water treatment, drink cleaning,

239
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,559
Speaker 3: whatever it is in your house that's plumbing. It all

240
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 3: breaks eventually we can fix all of it.

241
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,439
Speaker 1: Well, I've got my first question. You get text messages

242
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 1: when people are here that you're coming on. Because we

243
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:22,679
Speaker 1: run a bunch of promos, I'll get text messages from

244
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 1: people going hey, when you have that plumber and could

245
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: you ask him this? And I told Benga the first question.

246
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 1: He goes, Oh, ask me. I got the answer to that.

247
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 1: How do I clean my garbage disposal? And how often

248
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 1: should I do it?

249
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 2: I learned this from Luke a while ago. The best

250
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 2: thing to put down your drain is with on instant

251
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 2: mashed potatoes and run hot water.

252
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 3: Is that going to get you out of business? Or

253
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 3: I would say that's going to be great for business.

254
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 1: So instant mashed potatoes and hot water.

255
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 2: He told me a story about some nuns did that,

256
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 2: or so there.

257
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 3: Was a there was a school where some some nuns.

258
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,839
Speaker 3: It's a commercial garbage disposal, so it's a little different.

259
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 3: Use this hot water. It's going to spin a lot faster.

260
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 3: They poort a box vincent mashed potatoes down there. And

261
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 3: what happens when you had hot water and agitation, you

262
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 3: start making mashed potatoes. When they had mashed potatoes coming

263
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 3: out through the vents on the roof, they had potatoes.

264
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 3: You know those.

265
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: Nuns trust me? I do you know your uncle does

266
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: for Messmer high school? They didn't like him much. They

267
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 1: didn't like me much. I'm sure how often should people

268
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,439
Speaker 1: clean it? And uh, okay, we'll get well. Anyways, after

269
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 1: all the pipes were all fill up mashed potatoes. How

270
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:27,080
Speaker 1: do you clean it out?

271
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 3: It's it's a mess, a lot of water. That's really

272
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 3: all you can do.

273
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 1: So let's let's tell people not to do that. Yeah,

274
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 1: we definitely don't. That was in jest, right, we're not

275
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:38,199
Speaker 1: giving bad information.

276
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what when you told me that story said

277
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:42,720
Speaker 2: from that when someone says that was the best way

278
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 2: to clean out, So you use that, and then yeah,

279
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 2: they'll get a cleaner, right, because you gotta call a

280
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:47,839
Speaker 2: plumber and you gotta start all over.

281
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:48,559
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to.

282
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, they'll get it clean because they'll they'll definitely definitely

283
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 3: need a plumber on that.

284
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 1: How often should somebody look to clean that?

285
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 3: So garbage disposaled ice cubes are gonna help. They're gonna

286
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 3: kind of help sharpen up the blades. Citrus type fruits

287
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 3: are gonna help with the smell. What will really help, though,

288
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 3: is fill your sink about halfway with kind of warm

289
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 3: water you don't want it hot, but not cold, at

290
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 3: about a quarter to a half a cup of baking soda,

291
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 3: and then let that drain through the disposal. That's gonna

292
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 3: help break down some of those food particles that are

293
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 3: left behind. Otherwise that's a lot of where you get

294
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 3: the smell from. I think my wife seems to utilize

295
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 3: vinegar as well. Vinegar words.

296
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's and I always know because when I

297
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 1: walk in, and its usually Saturday and I walk in

298
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,599
Speaker 1: after being on the air, I'll be like, who he's like,

299
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 1: got cleaning this or cleaning that. But she'll utilize vinegar

300
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 1: for for that. But she should also utilize baking soda. Yeah, yeah,

301
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 1: baking soda help yep. Yeah, you don't want to run

302
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 1: you can run hot water.

303
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 2: Through your b at the same time, you could.

304
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 3: It just creates that nice chemical reaction from when we

305
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 3: were in school to make that volcano, I'll.

306
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 2: Say, yeah, we used to, Yeah, we used to put

307
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:58,199
Speaker 2: those chemicals together for fun.

308
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 1: Well, speaking to chemicals, I got another one a text,

309
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 1: how do I clear a clog without using chemicals? I mean,

310
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 1: I look, my father was a guy who put the

311
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 1: snake down and and yeah.

312
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 2: I know. In a home inspector world, because I do

313
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 2: a lot of teacher home inspectors, they got this little

314
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 2: plastic thing that home inspectors will will sell them where

315
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 2: they it's like goes down and pulls hair out of

316
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 2: their drains. It's the grossest thing you've ever seen, but

317
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 2: those you had the homeowners use this for your drains

318
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 2: and it gets hair out and stuff. It's like it's

319
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 2: like a big fishwalk thing.

320
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 3: Let me tell you what two daughters and a wife,

321
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 3: we we use that little tool often.

322
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 1: What is your wife first? Sarah? Sarah? Thank you?

323
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 3: So that we hair and you know what I'm talking about, right,

324
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 3: It's exactly a zipstick. You can get it at the

325
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 3: hardware store. It's maybe three bucks. They're they're handy little

326
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 3: tools to just clear that sink drain that always collects

327
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 3: hair and drains slow.

328
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 2: And people people think that little trap is to catch hair.

329
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 2: It's not. It's actually to stop the gases from coming up.

330
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 3: Exactly. Yeah, traps typically shouldn't actually clog. They're meant to

331
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 3: be self scouring, so any wire that comes in should

332
00:14:58,960 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 3: be cleaning and going out.

333
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 1: There was a product that when we were living over

334
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: on eighty eighth Street, and we lived in this house

335
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: for a long time, but there was a product and

336
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 1: I wish I could remember the name, but it comes

337
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 1: into ziploc bag. And I'm telling you, more than drain,

338
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 1: more than anything else, the only place I could find

339
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 1: it was home depot, but it I know you're not

340
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 1: supposed to utilize chemicals down there, but this thing worked, Man,

341
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 1: it worked, and I would I would buy a couple

342
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 1: of them and give one my daughter.

343
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 2: And so with lies, it's lied out there selling it.

344
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 2: That's the stuff that dissolves solp That's why they make

345
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 2: soap as will lie.

346
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 3: Some of those chemicals can be really harmful for pipes,

347
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 3: but most of the time, what happens when a customer

348
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 3: is using chemicals on the drain, it's it's already too late. Realistically,

349
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 3: a chemical on a drain is only going to help

350
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 3: if the drain is open. Essentially, it needs to clear

351
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 3: that clock and it needs somewhere to drain too. If

352
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 3: there's nowhere for it to drain too, it's going to

353
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 3: sit there and it's going to start to erode the pipes,

354
00:15:56,760 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 3: especially if they're metal. Typically, drain chemicals are usually going

355
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 3: to work best on a urinal just because you have

356
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 3: a lot more calcium deposits in there. Okay, but most

357
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 3: of the time I would recommend more of a mechanical

358
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 3: drain cleaning. If the drain is obstruct is that is

359
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 3: that the what's the majority of the phone calls are

360
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 3: coming in to you at C and V plumbing water heaters.

361
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 3: We get a lot of questions. Obviously, water heaters leak

362
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 3: that that's just what happens with them. But we also

363
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 3: get a lot of questions as far as how often

364
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 3: should you flush it? What kind of maintenance should I do?

365
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 2: Well, that's all. That's a whole question. Yeah, I didn't

366
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 2: know about this, but you know what, you're supposed to

367
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 2: open up the bottom valve and draining it like once

368
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 2: a second, once a month, or draining once a month.

369
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 2: They get the particles out.

370
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 1: No, No, I.

371
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 2: Just I mean nobody does.

372
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 3: No, nobody does. For some reason, plumbing has always been

373
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 3: kind of set it and forget it. We always think

374
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 3: about our furnace and air conditioning. We have that tuned

375
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 3: up twice a year. Why not our plumbing. But water heaters,

376
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 3: if you have hard water, you're going to be more

377
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 3: susceptible to getting sediment in there. So yeah, once a

378
00:16:57,920 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 3: month you want to open up that drain, run some

379
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 3: water and a bucket, verify that it's clear. If you

380
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 3: don't have a softener, for sure, you're gonna want to

381
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 3: hook a hose on it. And let it run for

382
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 3: a lit while because you're gonna get a lot more sediment.

383
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 1: We just I guess maybe seven eight months ago. We

384
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 1: live in a condo now in Pewaukee and water doctors

385
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 1: are sitting where you're sitting in the other studio, and

386
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 1: just really like them a lot, and so we got involved.

387
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:26,679
Speaker 1: My wife said, look, we'd like to have that, and

388
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 1: so we had them out and it's a totally different

389
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 1: animal now. I mean, but this small condo, where are

390
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:36,159
Speaker 1: where the water heater is is in this little closet

391
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,200
Speaker 1: and now the water softeners in front of it, I

392
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 1: don't even know if I can get to that.

393
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:45,360
Speaker 3: I don't It certainly can be a challenge in a closet. Yeah,

394
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 3: that's unfortunately. There's just not a lot of room and

395
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 3: sometimes something has to move in order to get to it. Well.

396
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 1: And it's funny because water doctors is like, look, if

397
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,399
Speaker 1: you need something with the water heater, you got to

398
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 1: let us know because we're going to move this out.

399
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 3: So the one advantage you do have though is having

400
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 3: a softener that you're gonna get less sediment in that

401
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 3: water heater. You will still get some, but but it'll

402
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 3: be much less than when you.

403
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,359
Speaker 2: Didn't have a softener. I mean, but you're a plumber.

404
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,359
Speaker 2: I talked to Otter plumbers to the same thing. I

405
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 2: mean the sediment and then people have like a gas

406
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 2: one and you can hear cracking and popping. That's because

407
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 2: there's a sediment blowing off the bottom as they're coiling up.

408
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 3: It'll sound like you're making popcorn in there.

409
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, one hundred percent. Hey, one last question before we

410
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:25,640
Speaker 1: get to a break.

411
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 2: When you start hearing that sound, how much time do

412
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:30,640
Speaker 2: you have before you need to get a hot water heater?

413
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 3: That's a that's a loaded question. I mean you you

414
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 3: your heater could live with sediment for some time. It's

415
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,639
Speaker 3: going to be far less efficient, which is going to

416
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,159
Speaker 3: lead to the failure. How long that really takes it,

417
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 3: there's too many factors.

418
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:46,120
Speaker 2: Once they start here popping, I mean, once.

419
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 3: You start hearing popping, you you have enough sediment in

420
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 3: there that you could potentially still flush it. It may

421
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 3: be too late already, but there's already gonna be a

422
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 3: lot of sediment in there. Time wise, you maybe have

423
00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 3: I don't want to put a number to it, but

424
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:02,200
Speaker 3: you'd maybe have year and a half, two years at most.

425
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't want and you don't want to be without,

426
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 1: so yeah, just get it fixed or get it looked at.

427
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 1: One last question regarding water heaters that I got. If

428
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 1: my water heater is leaking, can it be repaired or

429
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 1: does it need to be replaced.

430
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 3: Once they start to leak, they'll only ever continue to leak,

431
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 3: so it needs to be replace.

432
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 2: Water like radiator, stop leak and pour it in one

433
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 2: in and hopefully it works.

434
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 3: But powable water system because you're also bathing with that,

435
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,360
Speaker 3: you're drinking that, so might feel a little.

436
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 1: The longest water heater normally last.

437
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 3: That also has a loaded question depending on depends on

438
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 3: water quality, depends on usage. There's there's a number of factors.

439
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:44,879
Speaker 3: I would say typical average life span of a heater

440
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:48,879
Speaker 3: nowadays is going to be probably eight to twelve. Okay, well,

441
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,160
Speaker 3: I know that heaters I've taken out that are thirty

442
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:51,640
Speaker 3: years old.

443
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 2: Yeah. I do a lot of training with home inspectors,

444
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,119
Speaker 2: and if it's ten years older, they're like, put it

445
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 2: in your budget, is coming.

446
00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 1: It's coming, It's coming.

447
00:19:59,240 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 3: Man.

448
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 1: Very interesting. He is Lucas Drake is Sarah involved with

449
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 1: the company.

Speaker 3: Though Sarah she she has her own job. She runs

451

Speaker 3: so she assists with my marketing man.

453
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 1: Good for her though, that's awesome. And the girls either

454
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 1: one showing any interest getting involved in the plumbing business

455
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 1: right now.

456
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:24,159
Speaker 3: They like organizing fittings. Well, we'll see, we'll see. They

457
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 3: they are always a little gross out when we clean

458
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:27,680
Speaker 3: out that sync trans with the hair.

459
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 2: Oh, you gotta get samone. You know. Sam's Cooley. She's

460
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 2: organized one in the whole family. She's always organizing straight

461
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,199
Speaker 2: and stuff up. Yeah, because I am, I don't have

462
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 2: the reputation being very organized. Yeah.

463
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 1: I look, when I introduced him as the owner of

464
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 1: Creative construct notice that I don't introduce him as decision

465
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:46,200
Speaker 1: maker for Creative Construction Wisconsin. That that would be Sam

466
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 1: and Depth just just so you know. And Zach and

508
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,400
Speaker 1: about losing to them twenty five years ago.

509
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:54,560

Speaker 2: I tell him, yeah, and you know what.

514
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 1: They say, I'm a referee. Don't listen to what they

515
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:09,360
Speaker 1: said about me as a coach. You just leave that alone. Yeah,

516
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:12,119
Speaker 1: tell me cheats all the time. I did not I did,

517
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 1: did they look? They said I recruited because I coached

518
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 1: to private schools. But I didn't recruit because that was illegal.

519
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 1: But I recommended and highly suggested.

520
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 2: Well, this this coach. His player was the younger brother

521
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:26,919
Speaker 2: of the basketball player. I can't remember his name right now.

522
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:31,160
Speaker 2: He was real famous. And the guy was he's from

523
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 2: in our country, I can't remember. Yeah, yehnest yea, yeah,

524
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 2: his his brother was playing on it.

525
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,679
Speaker 1: At Dominican Yeah right, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, And we

526
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 1: beat them a couple of times when I was because

527
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 1: I coached Dominican prior to that. Then over at Greendale,

528
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 1: Martin Luther and we we had to play against Giannis

529
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:49,120
Speaker 1: and the crowd would be sparse, and then Jannis would

530
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 1: walk in and all of a sudden, everybody's phone would

531
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 1: go off and the crowd would be just jammed by

532
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,159
Speaker 1: the end of the game. Hey, our special guest for

533
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 1: the entire hour. He's the owner of seeing V Plumbing.

534
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:01,920
Speaker 1: He is kiss Strike and you can find out more

535
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:05,879
Speaker 1: about his company by going to scenv plumbing dot com.

536
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 1: Seenv plumbing dot com. Hey, questions though, I was, I

537
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 1: want to bring that. I bring this up to you

538
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:12,199
Speaker 1: said about how do we get a lot of work

539
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:16,199
Speaker 1: for inside. Yes, it's when people well, the thing I

540
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 1: know it is the pattern when people take galvanized pipes

541
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 1: and he and he put copper pipes. They try to

542
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,479
Speaker 1: connect them with copper pipes. That causes a chemical reaction,

543
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,399
Speaker 1: which makes is really good for me, but it's not.

544
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:29,200
Speaker 1: But for a homeowner, you got to watch for someone

545
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:31,400
Speaker 1: that takes galvanized and the hook copper toy. You gotta

546
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 1: have a there's a well he can explain what happens there.

547
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, So whenever you have dissimilar metals, you're you're gonna

548
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 3: get a galvanic reaction. So that's that's not good. You'll

549
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:44,400
Speaker 3: typically get some corrosion. It'll also start to plug. You'll

550
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,360
Speaker 3: notice your pressures start to drop. So there's there's proper ways.

551
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:48,879
Speaker 2: Leaders because I make a lot of money out of

552
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:49,200
Speaker 2: that deal.

553
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, and it can leak, yeah, corowes and the leaks.

554
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 3: So yeah, there's proper ways to connect pipes and fittings.

555
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 3: And you want to make sure you have a license

556
00:24:58,119 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 3: plumber that does.

557
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 1: You guys during the break, we're talking about purple glue,

558
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:03,359
Speaker 1: and I had no idea what you're telling about that.

559
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 2: When you walk into house and he says like, yeah,

560
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:07,879
Speaker 2: we had a guy fix our plumbing and you seell

561
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:09,639
Speaker 2: this purple glue, you know that's where the leak is

562
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 2: coming from.

563
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:14,200
Speaker 1: So in Illinois, purple glue is mandatory.

564
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a lot of parts of the country where

565
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 3: it's actually purple primer. It's what you use to prepare

566
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,639
Speaker 3: the joint prior to putting glue on. But yeah, some

567
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 3: places the code does require it because the inspector wants

568
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 3: to see that you did actually apply that primer on properly.

569
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 3: Most some people actually want to use glue only. That's

570
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 3: another bad thing because you'll definitely get leaks. All of

571
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:38,160
Speaker 3: our joints should be two steps, primer and glue.

572
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:40,959
Speaker 1: Hey, another question for you. Not to move off that.

573
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:45,359
Speaker 1: But I got a question, and I'm like, I have

574
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:50,359
Speaker 1: no idea. My sump pump stopped working. What could be

575
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 1: the cause of that? And do I need to maybe

576
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:54,679
Speaker 1: bring in a second some pump.

577
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 3: So if the sump pump stopped working, my first question

578
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 3: would be how old is it? Ages? Most often the factor.

579
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 3: The other question would be does it ever run. If

580
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 3: it doesn't run, it's typically typically going to dry out

581
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,360
Speaker 3: all especially if it's a submersible some pump, it's it's

582
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 3: going to have lubricant sealed inside the pump. If there's

583
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 3: never any water, If it just dries out, it's it's

584
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 3: not going to work. The bearings are going to see

585
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:19,680
Speaker 3: the motor is not going to turn.

586
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 1: Hey, if I had talked to Lucas Drake, the junior

587
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 1: at Rockford Boiling, and said, Hey, number of years from now,

588
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:27,959
Speaker 1: here's what we're going to be. We're gonna do an

589
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:29,920
Speaker 1: hour and you're going to talk about some pumps. You're

590
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 1: going to talk about, you know, water heaters. What would

591
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:34,119
Speaker 1: you have said to me? I would have said, you

592
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 1: got to be kidding me. They offer you said, when

593
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 1: we before we started on the air, you said, look,

594
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:44,120
Speaker 1: I went through all the shop classes at Rockford Boiling,

595
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 1: and I kind of liked it. I kind of got

596
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:50,680
Speaker 1: into it. I thank goodness that they offered that at Boiling.

597
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, so we had a shop class. It's not like

598
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 3: a lot of schools now have shop classes. It was

599
00:26:56,600 --> 00:27:00,880
Speaker 3: a lot more rudimentary. We had a radio armsaw, which

600
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 3: was just as dangerous as it could be for a

601
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 3: bunch of high school kids. And then we had a

602
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:09,360
Speaker 3: drafting class. I really liked the drafting class as.

603
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 1: Well, I thought, but those classes got you started on

604
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,440
Speaker 1: this journey for sure. And when we were talking, when

605
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 1: you first walked in, you said, look, I was all set.

606
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 1: I got accepted a bunch of colleges. But I kept thinking, man,

607
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 1: you know after tuition, you know, beer's going to cost

608
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 1: a little bit more, and and look how much money

609
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:29,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna owe and I don't know what I wanted

610
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 1: to do with my life. And I thank your uncle

611
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 1: mess we graduate that said hey, come on, move here

612
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 1: and let's get get you in the trades and get

613
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:39,160
Speaker 1: your going.

614
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was. It was a big decision because all

615
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 3: of my friends were going to college. I was one

616
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:46,400
Speaker 3: of the few that wasn't going. And so you start

617
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 3: to think, boy, this doesn't seem right, is it. Tony Pierre. Yeah,

618
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,639
Speaker 3: Tony Pierre. So my mom was the one who recommended

619
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 3: give him a call. He's been the trades a long time,

620
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 3: hes what I was talking about. Thank your mom for that, Bengal.

621
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:01,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, I had a question here because customers you know

622
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 2: they don't. You can text them and we'll talk about it.

623
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 2: I didn't even heard about there's a there's a crudbuster,

624
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:08,400
Speaker 2: the crudbuster things for water heaters. Are they any good?

625
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:10,360
Speaker 2: I don't mean, I don't even know it's such a thing.

626
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:13,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, so, actually they're they're pretty cool. It threads onto

627
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 3: the drain. Some some use a drill and turn like

628
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 3: a little auger in the drain. Some actually use air

629
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 3: that you blow in from a compressor to kind of

630
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:25,119
Speaker 3: break up some of that stuff to try to get

631
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:28,159
Speaker 3: to drain. They work actually really well. You wouldn't expect

632
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 3: them to, but they work much better than you'd think.

633
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:34,919
Speaker 1: Well, get hey, getting back to water heaters. Got another

634
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 1: question for you, and and this is from a buddy

635
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 1: of mine. It just I think she's funny all the time.

636
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 1: Ask your guests why don't water heaters last longer? And

637
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 1: is there any maintenance that can extend the life of

638
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 1: a water.

639
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 2: Heat You call it hot water heater when it's already hot.

640
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 3: It's really good looking.

641
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're like little plumbing humor for you.

642
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 2: He says, I have a hot water heater. You don't

643
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 2: need hot water heater with the waters high on.

644
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 1: Well, and his question is why don't they last longer?

645
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 1: And is there any maintenance that can extend the life

646
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 1: of a water heater.

647
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 3: So I would say that flushing is going to certainly help.

648
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 3: As you talked about, Yeah, powered anoid rod is probably

649
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 3: going to be one of the biggest things that you

650
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 3: can do to try to extend the life of that heater.

651
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 3: Most every heater is going to have an anoid rod.

652
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 3: You're supposed to manufacture recommends you should take out that

653
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 3: anoid rod and inspect it. Typically, if you're going to

654
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 3: inspect it, you're going to replace it every two years.

655
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 2: Homeowner does not take the rod out and inspect it.

656
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 2: I wouldn't recommend a homeowner to do it exactly. So,

657
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 2: and now we know where to look for the rod.

658
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 3: Well, that's that's the thing too, trust me.

659
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm calling you guys.

660
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 3: Are ye.

661
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 2: Home and check his rod tomorrow?

662
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 1: Yeah?

663
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, that what you put in that powered anoid rod.

664
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 3: You don't have to physically take that out anymore. Now

665
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:53,720
Speaker 3: you just look to see it's the green light on.

666
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 3: If the green light's on, it's powered and swat that

667
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 3: can do.

668
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 2: Okay, I got one of those. Okay, I'm a certified plumber,

669
00:29:58,200 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 2: and I can check my.

670
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:02,479
Speaker 1: Green certain you're certify it really well, you certified something,

671
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 1: miss Drama, And I can tell you that Gene Wagner

672
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:08,720
Speaker 1: Plumbing is a company that advertises on all of my stuff.

673
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 1: And I talked to Sherry a lot, and I talked

674
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 1: to Scott Wigner a lot, and he said, look, there

675
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 1: there are so many issues when it comes, especially this

676
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 1: time of year, with frozen pipes, and and you know,

677
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 1: he has talked to me a lot about how people

678
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 1: can prevent frozen pipes when they're especially if they're going

679
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:30,720
Speaker 1: to Florida and they're they're snowbirds. Can you talk a

680
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 1: little bit about that, how people can prevent their their

681
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 1: pipes from freezing if they go away for the winter.

682
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, we had that cold snap. And it doesn't

683
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 2: when a cold snap is not when they call you.

684
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 2: It's when it warms up that people start calling me.

685
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 3: Exactly. Yeah, when it's cold, we don't get the calls.

686
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 3: It's and when it starts warming up that things staw.

687
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 3: So if you're going to be gone for a long

688
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 3: period of time, especially a winter, for that, I would say, drain,

689
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 3: drain your system down. Granted, not all systems are were

690
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 3: necessarily installed to be drained, but at the bare minimum,

691
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:01,480
Speaker 3: shut the water off to the house to get water off.

692
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 3: The other thing you can do open cabinet doors, let

693
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 3: let some air into circulate, especially if it's an older farmhouse,

694
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 3: if you're home, I would say you could turn your

695
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 3: faucet onto just a slow drip. If it's moving, it's

696
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 3: way less likely to freeze.

697
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 2: I could. Yeah, like an eighteen seventies there's an eighteen

698
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:20,960
Speaker 2: seventy farmhouse thing, right right. That's why it is. We

699
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 2: talked to them, and that's what we told them what

700
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 2: to do. Is you only wait, you keep that thing

701
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 2: is you have to actually turn the water on a

702
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 2: little bit, right, Yeah, some drip because are just so memorica.

703
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 2: They didn't have to. They didn't know what insallation was

704
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 2: back then, right right, And there was in the walls

705
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 2: on the outside, you know, because that's when they added

706
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 2: to plumbing later in life.

707
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 3: Exactly. Yeah.

708
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, hey, what temperature would you would you recommend

709
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 1: people have their water heater? Said that our.

710
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 3: Plumbing code says we're not allowed to set it over

711
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 3: one hundred and twenty degrees. I do have some customers

712
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 3: that like the water hotter. I always explain to them

713
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 3: if you want to turn the water up that that's fine,

714
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 3: you can do that. Just be aware that if you

715
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 3: have small children coming into the house, that that you

716
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 3: have a greater risk of scalding.

717
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 2: When we were we were younger, right when we had kids.

718
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 2: You say, yeah, you know what problem is. You turn

719
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 2: hot water heater hot water too high, you scald the kids.

720
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:15,480
Speaker 2: But if you're run a dishwasher, you are hot in

721
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 2: order to sterilize the baby bottle. It was like two times, like, okay,

722
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 2: so we don't want to scald the kids, but we

723
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:22,600
Speaker 2: don't turn hot enough. The baby bottles are going to

724
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 2: be contaminated. So which is it?

725
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 3: So older dishwashers, it was different. You did have to

726
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 3: run the hot the water hotter to to be able

727
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:33,480
Speaker 3: to sterilize. Most dishwashers now are going to have a

728
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 3: little bit of a heating element or booster heater to

729
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 3: heat the temperature higher. The one thing you do want

730
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 3: to be cognizant of is that you don't set the

731
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 3: temperature too low, because then you develop a greater risk

732
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 3: for legionnaires. Nobody wants that. If anything, you could always

733
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 3: add a mixing valve to your heater and heat the

734
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 3: temperature in the heater hotter and then temper it down

735
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 3: out of the heater, and that would really help with

736
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 3: any bacteria legionnaires.

737
00:32:57,600 --> 00:32:59,560

Speaker 1: that field, right, So we're.

753
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 3: More specific to just the plumbing portion of that.

754
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:46,960
Speaker 2: Okay.

755
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:50,960
Speaker 3: We can work with a general contractor, we can work

756
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:53,720
Speaker 3: for the homeowner, but typically we're just doing the plumbing.

757
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 3: Sometimes we can do the carpentry if need be, if

758
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:58,280
Speaker 3: they want a new vanity or something like that.

759
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 1: Well, and I read some of the reviews for your company,

760
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 1: and I thought, my goodness, you know, these people are

761
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:09,880
Speaker 1: spending time after you've left their house to say things like, look,

762
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 1: this is an awesome plumber. I had to utilize services

763
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:15,719
Speaker 1: a lot of my projects, and each time I'm more

764
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:20,839
Speaker 1: satisfied than the last at the professionalism, knowledge and how

765
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 1: their work quality is just second and done. You get

766
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:27,040
Speaker 1: to feel really good about some of the responses you've

767
00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 1: gotten in starting this company.

768
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:32,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's really great. I mean, we we like

769
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 3: to say that we're not based on transactions. We're based

770
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:38,319
Speaker 3: on relationships. When we go to a customer's house, we're

771
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:41,319
Speaker 3: there to serve them. We're not going to sell them

772
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 3: something they don't need. We're going to give them options

773
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 3: and let them make the decision. It's their money. They

774

775
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 2: Right how much, when you're a good company, you don't

Speaker 3: people in the same category are sitting at the same

809
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:14,359
Speaker 3: table talking about Like for for you not to rip

810
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:16,719
Speaker 3: any of the competitors, You're like, look, Jess is a

811
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:19,359
Speaker 3: great job at Milestone, Jean Whig, you're plumbing. Those guys

812
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 3: are great at this and we don't even they're so

813
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:23,600
Speaker 3: good at it, we don't need to deal with it.

814
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:27,400
Speaker 3: And I love the fact that that people in your industry,

815
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:31,759
Speaker 3: especially NARY members, will recommend other NARRY members. That's the

816
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:35,239
Speaker 3: great part about having a community like NARRY where people

817
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:37,839
Speaker 3: get to know each other. Plumbers buy in large. We're

818
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:40,280
Speaker 3: just a happy bunch. I don't know too many plumbers

819
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 3: that are.

820
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:44,799
Speaker 1: It's all like gruteous, yeah, well, really good buddy of mind.

821
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 1: Mike Bush worked for Alpine Plumbing for a long time

822
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 1: and then he was, he was with the union, and uh,

823
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:54,400
Speaker 1: he not doing much of it anymore. But but I

824
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 1: can tell you that he was about that. He's about

825
00:36:57,640 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 1: the nicest guy I've ever met. Right, He's been a

826
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:02,640
Speaker 1: buddy of mine forever. We played softa together and ran

827
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 1: in and you know, did things we probably shouldn't back

828
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:07,520
Speaker 1: in the day. But I can tell you this that

829
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:11,880
Speaker 1: when he just was had that that that SERVI leadership

830
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:14,760
Speaker 1: hard to help people as much as he could, because

831
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:17,880
Speaker 1: he understood that it comes to electrical and comes to plumbing.

832
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:20,880
Speaker 1: If you're a guy like me, don't mess with it.

833
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:23,360
Speaker 1: Bring in, bring you in, Bring a professional, and it

834
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 1: knows what they're doing. Because if I'm up there, you know,

835
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,799
Speaker 1: if you're seeing purple glue all over the place, that's

836
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 1: what you would see if I tried to do it

837
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 1: on my own.

838
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:34,840
Speaker 2: What I love about this company. One scam on plumbers.

839
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:36,960
Speaker 2: He said that they're a plumber told him that the

840
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:39,919
Speaker 2: soil stack frolls up? Is that true? Can it really happen?

841
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 3: Typically, a vertical pipe wouldn't freeze.

842
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:45,840
Speaker 2: You mean to me, I think I saw there's air in.

843
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:48,960
Speaker 3: There, exactly. Yeah, a vertical pipe. So depending on the

844
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:51,400
Speaker 3: size you could get some frost closure, usually up by

845
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:54,960
Speaker 3: the roof within the house, the likelihood of it freezing

846
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:58,280
Speaker 3: would be low. I have, however, had where a customer

847
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 3: has lost heat and it just so happens that their

848
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:05,560
Speaker 3: drain is obstructed where the horizontal drain will freeze. That

849
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:09,840
Speaker 3: that's happened, but it's not not a common occurrence. You know.

850
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:13,160
Speaker 1: It's funny because I talked to you about our condo

851
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 1: and in uh Pewaukee, and one of the one of

852
00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:19,800
Speaker 1: the really good write ups that you got and a

853
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:22,279
Speaker 1: review was was somebody in a condo and he said, look,

854
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:26,600
Speaker 1: I replaced my water heater and softener and furnace inside

855
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 1: a closet in the condo. Is a tricky to get

856
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:31,320
Speaker 1: everything to fed. And Luke came out and met with

857
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:34,799
Speaker 1: a furnace installer to coordinate a plant, and and look,

858
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have understood that until my wife and I

859
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 1: moved out to Pelwaukee. But that's a small space and

860
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 1: a boy my size can't can't get in there much.

861
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 1: I can tell you that. And the fact that you

862
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:49,040
Speaker 1: were there to coordinate with the furnace and Saller, Hopefully

863
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:51,320
Speaker 1: it's down even Jorgenson heating, cooling. But you don't have

864
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 1: to tell me that. Okay, Yeah, they you know they

865
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:57,120
Speaker 1: they sponsored this entire new studio for us, and I

866
00:38:57,239 --> 00:38:59,839
Speaker 1: appreciate that. For sure. We're going to get to a break.

Speaker 3: and see can we move our schedule around to get

882
00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:50,799

883
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:52,680
Speaker 3: drain for a long period of time or sit without

884
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:55,960

00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:40,320
Speaker 2: that that Zapp's dust, all of the air whatever it is.

928
00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:43,319
Speaker 2: That was that our whole life, even growing up when

929
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:45,400
Speaker 2: when Zach was little, we had to put a filtered

930
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:47,480
Speaker 2: as room and that stuff because we didn't have it.

931
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:50,480
Speaker 2: We didn't have it stuff they got. Now, yeah, they

932
00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:53,320
Speaker 2: were talking about dishwasher. We didn't have stuff that heated dishwasher.

933
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:54,520
Speaker 2: It just ran whatever it was.

934
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:57,399
Speaker 1: We never had a dishwasher either until we moved into

935
00:41:57,440 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 1: this condo. And I can tell you don't know what

936
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:02,240
Speaker 1: you don't know. My wife's like, I'm never living anywhere

937
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:04,680
Speaker 1: with that one. When we lived on eighty Ah Street

938
00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:06,640
Speaker 1: for the first four or five years, we were right

939
00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:09,399
Speaker 1: on the corner and didn't have a snowplow. Two kids

940
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:12,440
Speaker 1: in school, we didn't have it. Right Snow we we

941
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:14,439
Speaker 1: we get a snow pall.

942
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:16,279
Speaker 2: It's like donamand Jorgas said, when you when you talk,

943
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:18,120
Speaker 2: when you hire them, you're hiring one of the owners, right,

944
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:20,839
Speaker 2: because own right. So that's why I like about working

00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:30,279
Speaker 2: when you're in their.

949
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:31,880
Speaker 3: Jobs, I am answering the phone. So if you call,

Speaker 2: Really, I'm allowed to answer to one of my company.

952
00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 2: You know, you're you're talking, but when you're when you're

00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:01,400
Speaker 1: So please tell been go to quit saying that on

961
00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:03,640
Speaker 1: the air. I'm like, but this time of year, right now,

962
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:06,640
Speaker 1: if you have plaster work, they they they have a

963
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:09,560
Speaker 1: little bit of time yet, and and you can they

964
00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 1: they certainly can can help you a lot. Hey, when

965
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:16,879
Speaker 1: you started seeing b plumbing compared to where you are now,

966
00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:22,360
Speaker 1: obviously way more sleepless nights in the beginning of starting

967
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 1: your own company. So now you're rolling a little bit,

968
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:28,520
Speaker 1: you remember that first couple of years and just never

969
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 1: forget that. No, and you want to just make sure

970
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:33,120
Speaker 1: you're making enough money to keep the lights on right.

971
00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:36,680
Speaker 3: Right, You're when you first start, you don't have a business.

972
00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:38,719
Speaker 3: You have a job, and and so you're trying to

973
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:41,279
Speaker 3: figure out where where am I going? What what am

974
00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:43,040
Speaker 3: I doing here? How do I get to where I

975
00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:45,480
Speaker 3: want to be? So there's there's definitely a lot of

976
00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:48,640
Speaker 3: sleepless nights, a lot of very long days, long hours,

977
00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:50,920
Speaker 3: time away from and.

978
00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:53,719
Speaker 2: Then maybe legit, you gotta have insurance. You have to

979
00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:54,640
Speaker 2: actually pay taxes.

980
00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:57,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, just yeah.

981
00:43:57,520 --> 00:43:58,839
Speaker 2: When you hire a guy and says, you know, pay

982
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:01,160
Speaker 2: me cash, there's a good as he's not being Texas.

983
00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:02,280
Speaker 2: He's probably naming license.

984
00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:05,720
Speaker 3: Well, not only that, he's probably also not insured, especially

985
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:07,600
Speaker 3: for plumbing. The only way you can really be insured

986
00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:09,759
Speaker 3: for plumbing is to have a plumbing license, So that

987
00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:10,600
Speaker 3: means it is not.

988
00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:13,440
Speaker 2: In plumbers, you know, like I'm insured. I have a

989
00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:15,719
Speaker 2: license for you know, the city Milwaukee. You got own

990
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:17,880
Speaker 2: separated in the state of Wisconsin. They used one for

991
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:20,239
Speaker 2: the whole country. But you guys, are you gotta have

992
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:21,239
Speaker 2: a per cities, aren't you?

993
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:24,680
Speaker 3: No? Ours is a state license. City of Milwaukee does

994
00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:29,120
Speaker 3: have a different registration that we use for pulling permits there,

995
00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:31,839
Speaker 3: but otherwise it's it's one license across the state.

996
00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:33,160
Speaker 1: Hey, how'd you meet Sarah?

997
00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:35,839

00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:47,239
Speaker 3: a boiling guy. Right, you got to come into Wisconsin.

1002
00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:48,840
Speaker 3: Where did she go to school? Where'd she go to

1003
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:49,359
Speaker 3: high school?

1004
00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:49,839
Speaker 2: There?

1005
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:53,719
Speaker 3: Actually grew up near Fondelac in Oakfield. Yeah, she moved

1006
00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:56,399
Speaker 3: from Oakfield right after high school to m A TC.

1007
00:44:57,400 --> 00:45:00,400
Speaker 3: So it wasn't until years after she was to school

1009
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:04,440
Speaker 2: Okay, okay. You know they always say, like, you know,

Speaker 2: cobler of what shoes, don't have their shoes or something

1011
00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:08,160
Speaker 2: like this. You know, I got one plasteric guy. We

1012
00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:10,080
Speaker 2: got cracks in our house like this? What about your house?

1013
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:11,080
Speaker 2: You got any dreams that leak?

1014
00:45:11,480 --> 00:45:14,960
Speaker 3: Ah the rip? No drains that leak? My my softeners

1015
00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:15,480
Speaker 3: getting old?

1016
00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:20,200
Speaker 1: There you go? You heard that he's fixing that thing,

1017
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:24,439
Speaker 1: He's going to replace it. Well, pumps on borrow time too. Well,

1018
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:26,960
Speaker 1: you want to help other people before you get to

1019
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:30,239
Speaker 1: your own stuff normally, right, And I love that look

1020
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:33,240
Speaker 1: when you when you look on the website seeing v plumbing,

1021
00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:36,680
Speaker 1: what the line on what they talk about as far

1022
00:45:36,719 --> 00:45:39,320
Speaker 1: as who they are, And the mission of this company

1023
00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:44,520
Speaker 1: that jumped off the page is look Lucas dedicated to

1024
00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:48,360
Speaker 1: genuine relationships with his clients. Family is a core value

1025
00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:51,720
Speaker 1: for him and he's extended that into his business, aiming

1026
00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:53,840
Speaker 1: to make each customer feel like they're part of the

1027
00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:57,680
Speaker 1: CNV family. I don't think every company feels that way,

1028
00:45:58,080 --> 00:46:00,160
Speaker 1: and and and I think that's a great way to

1029
00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:03,160
Speaker 1: go about it, right. I would assume that the majority

1030
00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:05,640
Speaker 1: of your business comes from word of mouth and people

1031
00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:09,520
Speaker 1: recommending you to their neighbors exactly.

1032
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:13,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I'm one of six. My mom comes from

1033
00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:15,960
Speaker 3: a big family. We've always been part of a big family,

1034
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:19,279
Speaker 3: and so we we just want everybody to join. We

1035
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:21,800
Speaker 3: want everybody to kind of feel at home, feel comfortable

1036
00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:24,400
Speaker 3: with us. So that's that's how we treat our customers

1037
00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:27,080
Speaker 3: like family, and they in turn refers to other people

1038
00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:28,200
Speaker 3: who want to join the family.

1039
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:30,479
Speaker 2: Abody, he's got like an indie car named Lucas Drake.

1040
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:31,279
Speaker 3: He does.

1041
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:35,359
Speaker 1: He does Lucas Drake car number ninety nine or whatever

1042
00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:37,400
Speaker 1: that would be. And I don't know if it's to

1043
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:39,320
Speaker 1: or Ford. I don't really get all that.

1044
00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:42,080
Speaker 2: Oh no, they got they got Cadillac and Mercedes, And
