FIVE-STAR TEAM WARRANTY &
SAME-DAY SERVICE
Tim’s journey into the world of plumbing began at a young age in Kyrgyzstan, working for his family’s construction supply store. From early on, Tim was captivated by the intricacies of plumbing. He found joy in solving complex problems, fitting pipes, and ensuring that all installations worked perfectly. The thrill of creating something out of nothing and making people happy through his work became his driving force.
Growing up, Tim was surrounded by the bustling environment of the family business, where he learned the value of hard work and dedication. He was inspired by the craftsmanship and the satisfaction of a job well done. This passion for plumbing grew stronger with time, leading him to immerse himself in learning all aspects of the trade.

Career Start
Tim’s formal career in the industry began after he earned a B.A. in Business Administration. Initially, he ventured into creating an e-commerce company selling construction supplies. However, his love for plumbing kept drawing him back.

His first job in his family’s construction company taught him the importance of innovation and compassion. Tim shares his secret to happy customers: “I am there to educate; I make sure to walk through each step with my clients.”
Joining United Plumbing & Water Heaters
After a year of working as a truck driver, Tim sought a more settled life and the opportunity to create a happy family.
