"Plumb It Yourself" was started by a second generation plumbing contractor and business owner. The idea for the retail store came to him after many years of his plumbing customers coming by his plumbing service company to by parts. The store front opened its doors in 1981 to supply consumers with a place to shop for all of their needs. After 19 successful years in business they still live true to their motto: "If we don't have it, you don't need it". You will never hear an employee of "Plumb It Yourself" say "you need to get that part at ABC Supply or at XYZ home center". "Plumb It Yourself" maintains approximately $200,000 worth of inventory in the company's 4000 square foot warehouse. This inventory is sold in their store which has and approximately 1500 square foot parts department and a 2500 square foot showroom that highlights fixtures, faucets, spas and bathroom accessories.

The success of “Plumb It Yourself” was acknowledged in 1992 when they were named ‘PLUMBING & MECHANICAL’s Merchandiser of the Year. “Plumb It Yourself” success can be traced to three major elements. The first is the knowledgeable staff on hand. These staff members are able to help the consumer identify what is needed for the repair and then walk them step- by-step through the repair process. The second element of their success has been inventory. By keeping even the smallest hard to find items on hand they have been able to keep a loyal customer base as well as receive business from local contractors. And the third step in advertising. Advertising is key to keeping the consumers aware of the business and aware of sales and special events.

Now “Plumb It Yourself” is starting a new venue by selling plumbing products “online”. The idea is still the same; to supply consumers with a place to shop for all their plumbing needs. And the motto is still the same: “If we don’t have it, you don’t need it.” “Plumb It Yourself” will continue to add new product lines to the website but if you find you are in need of a product not yet available, please visit the product request and quote page.
