SPONSORED CONTENT BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT SPONSORED CONTENT “Being a Good Neighbor is Important to Me.” I f you’re looking for a plumber who can handle any size job— residential or commercial—and who’s dedicated to serving not only customers but the community as a whole, look no further than RDN Plumbing. Started in 1974 by Robert D. Navilliat with one truck, the company has grown through the years to a team of 14 employees, all state- and county-licensed plumbers who live in the community they serve. “Being a good neighbor is important to me,” Navilliat says. “This community has helped me out and I believe in giving back to it. I live here. My children live here. All but three of my employees live here. We are adamant that we spend our money here, whether it’s for office supplies, truck supplies, gasoline or mechanical work.” It’s no wonder that RDN was given a beautification award by West Homestead Borough and is the go-to plumber for two local school districts. In addition to being a good neighbor, the company supports the functions of the churches in the community as well as Auberle Home for Children. Not only does RDN do large-scale plumbing jobs and stock the latest plumbing technology and supplies available, but is happy to handle the small jobs as well. It is an official contractor with the three largest home warranty companies in the nation and you can request RDN by name if you need home warranty work. The company is also a contractor for the Pennsylvania-American Home Protection program. “From the day I went into business, I put quality work and commitment to my customers first,” Navilliat says. “That’s what we’re known for and that’s what keeps people coming back time after time for repairs and maintenance.” While most homeowners don’t give a second thought to their plumbing unless there’s a problem, Navilliat notes that there are several simple things you can do to minimize service calls. First, simply knowing where your main shut-off valve is and using it when you go away for long weekends or vacations is a good idea. “We see a lot of washer hoses that are swollen or have Robert Navilliat and “Rocky” big bubbles on them. If no one’s home, there’s no need to leave your house pressurized like that. Make sure your shut-off valve works and people in the home know how to use it,” he explains. The other two important maintenance items homeowners should pay attention to are draining and cleaning the hot water tank every two years, and to make sure they have their sewer inspected with a camera if they are buying a home. “So many people buy a house and the sewer line is impacted with roots. Knowing that upfront can save you a lot of headache down the road,” Navilliat adds.
