Drainflow Plumbing

Company Overview

Our company is a compact, client-focused operation, built on exceptional craftsmanship, focused on offering the finest plumbing solutions at reasonable costs. We aim to support customers facing plumbing challenges, delivering transparent information, while maintaining focus on every aspect of the job.

I began my plumbing career in 2002, engaging in residential and commercial new builds, and handling maintenance jobs. I moved into service plumbing as my primary focus, and I also dabbled in heating and air conditioning for a time. Following some layoffs in the industry, I made the decision to go into business for myself. I saw a gap in the market for a plumbing company, 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, at an affordable price.

Hi, I’m Stephen, born and raised in Birmingham, AL. My mother was involved in the legal profession, and my father worked in lumber. When I was about six, we relocated to Shelby County, in Helena, AL, before moving back to Birmingham when I was almost twelve, where I attended Homewood High for two years, then we moved to Irondale, and I graduated from Shades Valley in 1991.

After high school, I enlisted in the Navy as an aircraft engine mechanic, where I was assigned to VP-4 at Barbers Point, HI. Upon leaving the service, I entered the construction trades, with my uncles in heating and air, and was later given the opportunity to train as a plumber, which I gladly accepted.

In my free time, I enjoy reading, riding mountain bikes, traveling, hiking adventures, and spending time at the beach in the summer. I participate in charitable activities when I can, distributing food boxes to the homeless, and supporting anyone who needs assistance. I am passionate about combating animal abuse, and I am equally committed to addressing child abuse.
