Drainflow Plumbing

Company Overview

We are a smaller, customer-centric business, founded on high-quality workmanship, focused on offering the finest plumbing solutions at reasonable costs. We aim to support customers facing plumbing challenges, offering clear explanations, with careful consideration at every stage.

I entered the plumbing field in 2002, involved in both home and business plumbing projects, as well as service work. Eventually, I shifted to service work full-time, and I also dabbled in heating and air conditioning for a time. After experiencing industry layoffs, I chose to launch my own company. I identified a need for a plumbing provider, that prioritized doing the job correctly over making money.

I bring 21 years of plumbing experience to the table, and before plumbing, I worked in construction trades, and before that, I served in the Navy as an aircraft engine mechanic. I founded my company with the goal of delivering high-quality work, taking a hands-on approach, while keeping costs reasonable.

Hi, I’m Stephen, a native of Birmingham, AL. My mother worked in the legal field, while my father was in the lumber industry. At around six years old, we moved to Shelby County, specifically Helena, AL, and later returned to Birmingham as I approached twelve, and I went to Homewood High for two years, then we moved to Irondale, and I graduated from Shades Valley in 1991.

Upon finishing high school, I joined the Navy as an aircraft engine technician, and was stationed with VP-4 at Barbers Point, HI. After my military service, I transitioned to the construction industry, working alongside my uncles in heating and air, and eventually was offered plumbing training, which I gladly accepted.

In my free time, I enjoy reading, riding mountain bikes, traveling, hiking, and spending time at the beach in the summer. I also engage with charities when possible, handing out food packages to the less fortunate, and supporting anyone who needs assistance. I am dedicated to fighting against animal abuse, as well as child abuse.
