Diane and Ron were both raised in Thurston County and met in high school.

To Ron and Diane Springer plumbing is not just about responding to the drip, drip, drip of your faucet. It is about providing top professional and caring service to a community where they have grown up their entire lives.

“We have helped many grateful customers who have been told their plumbing fixes will be thousands of dollars, often resolving the problem for a fraction of the cost,” say Diane Springer. “Because of our decades of experience and our genuine care for customers we get to the root of the problem.”

It is the reason people have come to trust Springer Plumbing over the more than a quarter of a century it has been in business. The local company was voted the 2013 Best of South Sound for Plumbing Service. And, for the last two years they were recognized with the Super Service award on a national online business referral website, Angie’s list.

Their experience goes back for generations

Ron Springer is a third generation master plumber who has followed in the footsteps of his father and grandfather.

Ron’s grandfather, Art McMurry was a plumber, a school bus driver and he helped start the Black Lake Fire Hall. His example left a legacy, not only with Ron who used to tag along when Art was on a job, but also with the community where Art lived.

“We actually have people who call for help and say, ‘I rode the bus with your grandpa and we want you for the job.’” Diane Springer relates. “The legacy speaks volumes about the heritage and experience that Springer Plumbing brings to a job.”

Ron and Diane Springer holds customer service paramount in their plumbing business.

Ron Springer’s dad, who was also a plumber, owned Olympia Plumbing and Heating. Now Ron and Diane’s daughter, Kara, serves as the company’s administrative manager and is taking the business into its fourth generation. It is truly a family business.

Ron and Diane Springer were both born and raised here in Thurston County and met in high school at the age of 17. This is their home and they take their obligation to the community very seriously.

“We grew up here and our name is on our business,” Diane emphasizes. “We wanted to take the fear out of calling for plumbing service. It is not just a repair call to us. People can trust our family to care for theirs.”

From beginning to end, they understand a plumbing system

Ron and Diane opened the doors of Springer Plumbing in 1989 debt-free with one step van and were focused on new residential construction.

Both Ron’s grandfather and father had relationships with many contractors, which helped the third generation of plumbers launch their business.

“Our years of experience in new construction provide the background for understanding plumbing systems from the beginning to end,” says Ron. “Plumbers are the first subcontractors in after a home is framed and they begin with just a water source and lay out the entire system.’

Diane can remember bringing her three daughters Crystal, Kara and Courtney to their Dad’s job site where Ron was proud to show them the accuracy and detail of his work. He would even be somewhat disappointed when the walls went up and covered over the well-laid pipes.

After several years, Springer Plumbing diversified beyond new construction and included plumbing service and repairs, answering calls for help from individual homeowners, landlords and tenants, the bulk of their business today—the people they call friends and neighbors.

It is about community service

Volunteering in Thurston County is important to the Springer Plumbing team.

Ron and Diane both work for Rebuilding Together, volunteering their time to provide critical home repairs for women with children, veterans, their widows, disabled people and the elderly. Diane has served on the board of the non-profit for two years.

“We want to give back to the community,” says Diane. “We also want to be great role models for our daughters. I volunteered every year at their schools as they were growing up. That was a huge blessing.”

The Springers have a strong presence at most Lacey and Thurston Chamber events and networking groups, always extending their smiles, handshakes and attention to others.

“We love to be out in the community meeting other business owners, Realtors, property managers, landlords and homeowners,” says Diane. “We help them and they help us. It is all about relationships and community.”

Springer Plumbing has the highest skills

Ron Springer is a master plumber, the highest level for the profession, which requires thousands of hours of experience, rigorous testing and continuing education requirements.

“Code books and manuals change constantly and you need someone who stays up to date on that information,” says Ron. “Plumbing helps protect the health of our nation and our community’s access to clean water and sanitation. It is something that often people take for granted, but we are very serious about our profession and the service we provide.”

The Springer Plumbing crew includes another master plumber, Darin, and an apprentice plumber, Tim.

“We are proud that we have more than 50 years of plumbing experience to address any problem a homeowner might have,” Ron says about his crew.

In addition, the local company strives for premium customer service that matches its superior plumbing skills and knowledge.

“We have worked with the folks at Springer Plumbing for several years now,” says one client with several rental properties. “Springer is who we always go to with our needs as they are professional, courteous, neat, reliable, experienced and competitively-priced. They always respond quickly, arrive on time and get the job done with minimal disruption to the home.”
