About us

A plumber who kept getting asked the same question

How a plumbing firm ended up working with a therapist.

Charlene Broadnax started out on ordinary service calls: a leaking trap, a toilet that wouldn't stop running. In house after house in Scranton, the call ended with the same question. Can you do something about the tub? A parent couldn't step over the wall anymore.

She worked out the rest with Moira Farrell, an occupational therapist with her own practice, who began coming to visits. Now we plan each bathroom around how the person who uses it moves, and we write it down so their family and their therapist can read it too.

How we work

  • Seven of us in all, and Moira as a partner

  • Planned visits on weekdays, not emergencies

Licenses and insurance

What to ask any plumber to show you

Ask for the registration number and the certificate of insurance before anyone comes in, and look the number up if the state offers a page.

  • Registration

    • Home Improvement Contractor · PA Registration 000000 · Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General

      Registers the business with the state for home improvement work.

  • Insurance

    • General liability insurance · Carrier named on the certificate

      A certificate is sent on request, before work starts.
