We launched our business in 2022. Having worked for a Red Bluff plumbing company for eight and a half years, I opted to establish my own business. I didn’t plan to rival the person who taught me the trade, yet his charges were $185 an hour plus materials. After eight years, I was earning just $20. I learned everything I could before becoming my own boss. I chose the name Ask Ryan Plumbing since my friends in different trades frequently seek my advice. We stand out because the owner personally handles your plumbing needs and I won’t overcharge you.

I have lived in Red Bluff for twenty years. I went through middle and high school in this town. I lacked a specific dream in high school. Not knowing what to pursue, I looked for a trade. I found employment with a local plumbing company called DW Plumbing. I began by digging ditches, cleaning job sites, and assisting with demolition. I occasionally helped other trades. Eventually, I moved on to service calls and remodel projects. I spent two years learning from a skilled mentor. Then I moved on to PGE jobs, earning a prevailing wage. I often worked out of town. When the trainers left the company, I saw them go without retirement or benefits. This caused me to reflect on my future. Eventually, I requested a raise, but he was unable to offer one. Thus, I decided to grant myself that raise. I can now pay for my own benefits and save for retirement. It’s worth noting that my late father was a plumber too. I should have realized it sooner.
