Pro-Tec Plumbing & Air

Company Overview

Family-owned since 2008, Pro-Tec has established a strong presence as the premier property plumbing and air-conditioning provider. We deliver top-notch services for homes, commercial properties, and new builds. We guarantee quality and deliver peace of mind. Pro-Tec Plumbing always prioritize the customer, promising the quality of our work and delivering peace of mind with all our work.

Our head plumber Richard Hume founded Pro-Tec Plumbing, Inc. in 2008 with a few tools and containers of fittings from the back of his truck. Like any successful entrepreneur, he devoted himself day and night, passing out flyers to gain new customers and leads. Despite a tough downturn in 2009, Pro-Tec Plumbing persevered; each year, we expanded our services by bringing on new team members, trucks, and assets to the company. Having steadily grown over the years, Pro-Tec Plumbing, Inc. has transformed -- we are now Pro-Tec Plumbing, Water & Gas, a comprehensive water system provider. What originated as a single-person operation is now a successful company with over 50 staff. Though we continue to grow, Rick's original promise remains the foundation of Pro-Tec: develop a business centered on dedication and integrity and deliver the quality of work we would desire in our own houses.

Brothers Richard (Rick) and Brandon Hume were born in Plymouth, Massachusetts, where they lived until the early 2000s.

Brandon transferred to Florida in 2004 to enroll in Florida Gulf Coast University, where he played golf and focused in finance. Meanwhile, Rick developed a growing passion for plumbing; he earned his license as a Master Plumber in 2008 and started what would evolve into Pro-Tec Plumbing, Inc.

After completing his degree, Brandon helped in digging Rick's first residential project in 2009. He chose to team up with his brother for good as the company's vice president in 2011, managing the operations side of the company.
