Early Morning Preparation
The day starts well before sunrise at 5:30 AM. After a strong cup of coffee, I head to our headquarters to gather supplies and review the day’s service calls. Our dispatch team has already organized the schedule, prioritizing emergency repairs in the Hamilton area.
First Call: Emergency Pipe Repair
By 7:00 AM, I’m at our first call – a burst pipe situation in West Chester. Winter months are especially busy with frozen pipe issues. Today’s job requires replacing a section of damaged copper piping and ensuring the home’s heating system hasn’t been affected.
Mid-Morning: Routine Maintenance
The schedule takes me to Mason for a series of preventative maintenance appointments. These typically include:
• Inspecting water heaters
• Checking for hidden leaks
• Testing water pressure
• Cleaning drain lines
Afternoon Challenges
After lunch, it’s time to tackle a complex heating system repair. Working in the Tri-County area means adapting to different types of systems, from modern high-efficiency units to older models requiring specialized knowledge.
End of Day
Before heading home, I:
• Complete service documentation
• Restock the service vehicle
• Review tomorrow’s schedule
• Attend our daily team debrief
Always Learning
Every day brings new challenges and opportunities to help our community. Whether it’s fixing a simple leak or solving complex plumbing issues, being a plumber in the Greater Cincinnati area means staying current with the latest techniques and technology.
Remember, preventative maintenance is always more cost-effective than emergency repairs. If you hear unusual noises or notice changes in your plumbing system, don’t wait for small problems to become big ones.
