A health recovery motivated the establishment of a company founded on appreciation.

In the midst of his career, Kalen Barker, a master plumber with 17 years of experience, was hospitalized after being taken by a coworker. The hospital released him soon after, believing it was a one-time incident. Sadly, this led to a two-year battle with a nervous system disorder that left Kalen reliant on a wheelchair.

Over time, Kalen relied less on his wheelchair and resumed plumbing projects.

When news of his recovery spread, Kalen's wife Stephanie encouraged him to start their own business to celebrate their renewed health.

""I started working with a joy that stemmed from genuine gratitude. I feared I would never again have the ability to assist others in this manner. Because of that, there’s no plumbing company more grateful than Bright Side Plumbing, and that gratitude influences everything we do and how we treat each client.

Hi, I’m Kalen,

I’m a fourth-generation master plumber and the President of Bright Side Plumbing. There’s no plumbing issue I can’t tackle, but my true passion lies in brightening our clients' days with exceptional service.

The inspiration for our name even comes from a Google review I received a decade ago, where a client was amazed by my enthusiasm in helping them with a late-night plumbing issue.

I began my journey in plumbing when my father took me on service calls as a child; I vividly remember handing him tools while holding a stuffed animal. Every summer, I spent long days plumbing, but what stood out most was observing how my father treated his clients. People appreciated him because he had a genuine concern for them.

Caring for our clients isn’t just a business practice; it’s part of our identity. If you want a brighter day, give us a call; you won’t regret it.

I highly recommend Brightside Plumbing. They redid all the plumbing in my house, they had to dig out collapsed drains in my basement and replace them, they installed a new sump pump system, and had to replace the sewer line. It was a big job and unexpected. Kelan was very professional, friendly, informative and flexible. The whole crew was also great! All of them communicated all aspects of the job and kept me informed of what was going to happen. At the end of the job, my yard looked better than it had before it was torn up to replace the sewer line and the basement plumbing was much more streamlined. I will definitely use them again for future plumbing needs.

My sewer line was clogged with tree roots and they were able to set up an appointment quickly to give a free estimate. They arrived promptly within the time frame they gave me and even sent a photo in the text of the technician. ++++ It didn't take long for them to assess the situation and let me know of a special they were having at the time that I could take advantage of. They were able to get the job done quickly and take care of an add-on with fixing my shower diverter. These guys were friendly, looking out for the customer and did an awesome job!!! I will definitely be using them again if needed. Big fan! Way to go Mario and Luigi. ;)

We moved into a house with lots of plumbing issues and James from Bright Side Plumbing has helped us IMMENSELY. Service has been reliable, affordable, and high quality.

The first plumbing company we had out here (not Brightside) was for a water heater install and I had a couple issues with them. I feel like I was being gouged and the installation was missing a few finishing touches that James from Brightside noticed immediately and fixed for us.

James has also been very friendly and given great advice so that I can do some of the more simple plumbing repairs myself.
So far, we've had him out for a sump pump installation, to fix a leak in a kitchen sink, and to repair a faulty shutoff valve from our main water line.

We will keep using Bright Side for any future plumbing calls.

The guys with Bright Side Plumbing were great! My wife and I had an issue with a leaky shower and not only were the Bright Side guys able to fix that but they identified other issues with some of our piping and fixed us up and explained risks it would help prevent. Extremely friendly and personable too! We definitely recommend them.

Tub wouldn't drain. Called at 9 a.m. Very responsive. Fixed by noon. Great service at fair price.

Needed a plumber to check and startup a water heater that had been turned off for a while, and also assist with an outdoor hose spigot. Bright Side showed up on time, explained everything and quickly fixed what I needed done. I may look like I'm scowling in the picture, but it was just REALLY sunny with those guys from Bright Side!

Bright Side replaced my water heater. It was a great customer experience. They: 1) showed up when scheduled, 2) were clean, efficient and professional, and 3) the quality was great. I will definitely call Bright Side next time I need a plumber.

We recently purchased We recently purchased our home and knew from our inspection that the water heater was past it's useful life expectancy and should be replaced. Not only were the sequential 40 gallon heaters in need of replacement, but the plumbing connecting them together and to the waterlines in the home looked like it was completed as part of grade school art project.
The work that Kalen completed was not only extremely professional and functional, the aesthetics are so much better than I even thought possible when looking at the old mess. He removed both old water heaters, installed a new larger capacity single unit, replaced our pressure regulator and brought the whole system up to code. And with their warranty we don't have to worry about the hot water heater for the next 20 years. The icing on the cake was how clean and tidy the area was left when the work was finished. If we ever need any other plumbing services we will 100% use Bright Side.

I asked Bright Side to help me replace some of the failing plumbing in my 30 year old home. They were able to assist me on the same day I called. Kalen was careful to explain the repairs he was recommending and why they were needed. He was thorough and found issues I wasn't aware of but that clearly existed (leaking valves I hadn't noticed but could see evidence of once pointed out). I felt taken care of and that my house was being well taken care of. Kalen was very kind and courteous. It was an overall great experience.

Wow! Great customer service and excellent workmanship. We have had two plumbing emergencies - a broken sump pump and a broken gas line to our stove. Bright Side was out to our home promptly on both occasions and fixed our issues quickly and professionally. We were not only pleased with the work, but we were thrilled that we didn't have any mess to clean up afterwards. We highly recommend Kalen and Bright Side Plumbing.
