SERVICE IS WHAT COUNTS AT DYER ’ S PLUMBING
New to Winston-Salem , but not new to plumbing or the Triad , help me welcome Jim Hubbard , President of Dyer ’ s Plumbing . The Dyer family name has been around since 1927 . Based out of Eden , NC , Jim recently decided to expand the family business and open a second location in Winston-Salem . Dyer ’ s Plumbing works all over NC but it was time to expand their operations with a new hub in Winston Salem .
Dyer ’ s Plumbing is family owned and operated and has been since Jim ’ s grandfather opened in 1927 . Originally the business started as a garage and wrecker service in Eden , NC . In the 1950 ’ s when they started running plumbing in the city Mr . Dyer saw an opportunity and ran with it . Dyer ’ s has been in business for 90 years and is still run by the family . Jim Hubbard is the President and his brother John , who is based in Eden is his partner . Jim told me his mom and dad still work in the office every day .
Dyer ’ s specializes in both commercial and residential work . They do everything from service work for home owners to servicing larger industrial accounts such as Duke Energy , UPS and Walmart . They also do contracting work for light commercial all the way up to heavy industrial .
I asked Jim why he thought his family business was still around 90 years later , he said ; “ Service , service is what counts . That is our moto and we pride ourselves in offering exceptional service . Quality service is our top priority . If a client is not happy , we are not happy . We do everything possible to make sure the client is 100 % satisfied .”
Not only is Jim the President of Dyer ’ s Plumbing he also runs Aqua Man pool service here in Winston-Salem . Aqua Man specializes in liners , covers and regular pool maintenance . With spring time upon us Jim told me now is the time to get your liners replaced . Aqua Man also assists in the opening and maintenance of pools for home owners .
Jim left me with a few plumbing tips for homeowners : �
Never flush cotton swabs , cotton balls , hair , facial scrub pads , diapers , sanitary products or similar items down the toilet . These items will not easily dissolve and are responsible for most clogs .
� Never put hard-to-grind waste into the disposal ( ex ., chicken skins , bones , carrots , celery or banana peels ) - they will clog the drain .
� Don ’ t pour fats or cooking oils down the drain — they will harden in the pipes and create clogs .
� Make sure that all drains have strainers to prevent hair , soap and debris from clogging the drain lines .
� Consider switching to a tankless water heater , it can save you up to 50 % on your power bill each month .
� Check the temperature setting on the water heater . It should be set no higher than 120 ° F to prevent scalding and reduce energy use .
