Local plumber replaces pro-bono pipework in Hamilton

HAMILTON, Ontario, July 9, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Birnie Plumbing & Drainage is intended to replace the cladding of a house in Hamilton, 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 showing one of the first plumbing jobs ever completed by the company he now leads. The work will be completed on July 17th at no cost to the new owner as a tribute to their dedication to the community that has lasted for over a century.

CHCH Morning Live will be at 40 Graham Avenue North in the Crown Point neighborhood along with Rob and his team of plumbers on July 17, 2024. Birnie Plumbing and Drains will be using their new minimally invasive method to install the brand new liner. Their trenchless technology options allow you to install new pipes without having to dig up your yard. Rob reflects on how far plumbing innovation has come and celebrates how his family has been a part of the industry’s evolution: “My great-grandfather, John Birnie, used bamboo poles to clean drains in the 1920’s. In the 1940’s, my grandfather Thos Birnie was the first in Hamilton to own an electric sewer machine. Fast forward to the 1990’s and my father 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 for years!” Rob will be joined by his father, Bob Birnie (3rd generation) and son, Tyler Birnie (5th generation) as this service is performed in this historic Hamilton home.

although Birnie Plumbing & Drainage has come a long way since their one-truck operation in the 1920s, but their principles remain the same;

• High customer service
  Putting people first, as much as plumbing! This has been at the core of the company since the beginning and has been passed down through generations. You could say it’s the reason the company has lasted as long as it has. “The Hamilton Spectator once wrote an article about my grandfather saying, ‘He didn’t make customers, he made friends.’ That tradition continues in our family and our company,” says Rob when talking about the sustainability of their strong focus on customer service.
• 5 star service
  You can find more than 1000 reviews on google and read glowing testimonials about top-notch customer service, craftsmanship, and fast response times. While Birnie Plumbing & Drains strives to be the best in the business, it’s clear that many in the community already feel that way.
• Quality work that lasts
  Never cutting corners is their cornerstone! From quality materials to how they care for their employees and customers, it’s clear that Birnie Plumbing & Drains is focused on quality. A testament to the durability of their work lies below ground in the house on Graham Ave North, where the original pipework has survived all the changes above.
