Local Plumber Replaces Pipe Lining Pro Bono In Hamilton Home Where His Great-Grandfather First Installed Pipes 102 Years Ago
July 09 2024 - 11:09AM
Birnie Plumbing & Drains is set to
replace the lining of a Hamilton home where founder, John Birnie
first installed the pipeline in 1922. Rob Birnie, CEO and
great-grandson of John Birnie, has original documents and drawings
from his great-grandfather, that showcase one of the first plumbing
jobs ever performed by the company he now oversees. The work will
be completed July 17th, at no charge to the new owner as an homage
to their commitment to the community that has lasted over a
century.
CHCH Morning Live will be on the ground
at 40 Graham Avenue North in the Crown Point neighbourhood, along
with Rob and his team of plumbers on July 17, 2024. Birnie
Plumbing and Drains will use their new minimally invasive method to
install the brand-new liner. Their trenchless technology options
allow for new pipes to be laid without the hassle of digging up
your yard. Rob reflects on how far plumbing innovation has come and
celebrates how his family has participated in the industry's
evolution, “My great grandpa, John Birnie used bamboo rods to clean
drains in the 1920's. In the 1940’s, my grandpa Thos Birnie, was
the first in Hamilton with an electric sewer machine. Fast forward
to the 1990s and my dad and uncle, Bob & Roy Birnie were the
first in Hamilton to adopt the Canadian-Made No Dig Sewer Lining
Solution. We have been at the forefront of cutting-edge new
technology over the years!” Rob will be joined by his father, Bob
Birnie (3rd Generation) and son, Tyler Birnie (5th Generation), as
this service is performed at this historical Hamilton home.
Though Birnie Plumbing & Drains has come a long way from
their one-truck venture in the ’20s, their principles have remained
the same;
- High Customer CarePrioritizing people
as much as plumbing! This has remained at the core of the company
since the start and has been passed down from generation to
generation. One might say it’s the reason the company has lasted so
long. “The Hamilton Spectator once wrote an article about my
grandfather stating, 'He didn't make customers, he made friends.'
That tradition continues in our family and business even today,”
Rob says as he speaks to the longevity of their strong customer
service focus.
- 5-Star ServiceYou can find over 1000 reviews on Google and read
rave testimonies about top-notch customer service, quality
workmanship, and quick response times. While Birnie Plumbing &
Drains strives to be the best in the business, it’s clear to see
that many in the community already feel this way.
- Quality Work That LastsNever
cutting corners is their cornerstone! From quality materials to how
they care for their employees and customers, it's apparent that
Birnie Plumbing & Drains is focused on quality. A testament to
the longevity of their work lies underground at the house on Graham
Ave North, where the originally laid pipe lining has lasted
throughout all the changes up above.
