R C Gochenour & Son Plumbing

Company Overview

For as long as we can remember, plumbing has been our family business. We felt compelled to uphold this legacy. We aim to elevate Granddad's name to new heights. His business may have been small, but his reputation was immense. We have built a strong base of loyal customers. We impress them and demonstrate our commitment to their needs. We are honored to address the plumbing requirements of Harrisonburg and its neighboring communities, including Page and Rockingham Counties.

Finding a trustworthy, high-quality plumber in Harrisonburg can be challenging. By working with us, you will receive exceptional service right from the start. We prioritize your convenience by scheduling appointments that suit you, providing clear quotes, and cleaning up after our work, ensuring you receive the quality service you expect. We won’t consider our job finished until we’ve wowed you!

One-size-fits-all approaches do not work for plumbing problems. Each household presents its own specific plumbing needs. That’s why we take the time to evaluate and diagnose issues before suggesting a solution. We provide you with options for both repair and replacement, empowering you to make the right decision for your residence.

As the son and grandson of plumbers, I learned the trade early. R.C. was our grandfather and the family's guiding force. He taught us the plumbing trade from a young age. We would set out with him early on Saturday mornings in his old white Ford plumbing van. In big red letters, the van showcased ""R.C. Gochenour & Son's Plumbing and Heating."" He imparted both plumbing skills and a strong work ethic. He instilled in us the principle of earning our keep. I spent the 1990s and early 2000s working for different plumbing firms. I made the decision to obtain my plumbing master license in 2008. Years later, in early 2014, I made the choice to acquire a Class A contractor's license and reestablish a version of Granddad's old business... Thus, R.C. Gochenour & Son Plumbing LLC was founded in late 2014.

As a young boy, Granddad would rise early on Saturdays to take me out in that old white Ford plumbing van. We would set off to handle a project someone had called him about the day before. Granddad instilled a strong work ethic in us during those formative years. During my teenage summers, I worked alongside plumbers, primarily uncles from my mother's side, in Northern Virginia. Upon graduating in 1989, I remained in the plumbing field. Following over nine years in residential plumbing, I transitioned to industrial plumbing with a local company in the Valley. I worked there for 14 years, acquiring valuable experience and expertise in larger piping systems. After rising to foreman and then general foreman, I departed the Valley for a Project Supervisor role with a larger construction and engineering firm. I always had the desire to do things on my own terms. In late 2014, R.C. Gochenour & Son Plumbing LLC was established.
