AboutSince 1988
The short version

Lance started Ritchie Plumbing in 1988 with a truck, a license, and a rule the company still keeps: explain the work, do it right, and treat the house like somebody lives there.
Thirty-five years later that standard has not changed. What has changed is the size of the crew. We are not a franchise, we do not work off commission scripts, and we do not sell you a system you do not need. The plumber at your door works for Ritchie Plumbing — hired here, trained here — not a sub from a lead mill, and not a promise that Lance or Chad will be the ones holding the wrench.
From water heaters and whole-home softeners to full repipes, the work is thorough because the name on the invoice is still ours. Repeat customers keep the number because the standard held, not because they booked a particular last name.

Operations
Runs the field so jobs stay on time and the crew stays consistent. If you need the office, you get Chad. If you need a plumber, you get a licensed Ritchie plumber — which is the point.
Licensed plumbers
The person at your door works for Ritchie Plumbing. Hired here, trained here, accountable here — not a sub from a lead mill. Same standard on a water heater as on a repipe. That is how the company grows without the work getting sloppy.
