About us

Boyd’s Plumbing & Sewer is a locally owned residential plumbing company serving Hinsdale, Western Springs, Oak Brook, Burr Ridge and the towns around them. Not a franchise. Not private equity. The owners live here, answer their own phones, and you will know them by name.

We do residential service and repair, and that’s it. Drains and sewers, water heaters, sump and ejector pumps, fixtures, gas and water lines, and a lot of old houses with old pipes. No new construction, no commercial, no remodel rough-in. The whole service area is about 20 minutes across, so you spend your day working, not sitting on 294.

We think the plumber is the most important person in this business, and we run it that way. Plumbers sit at the top of our org chart. The office, scheduling, marketing and the owners are all there to support the guy in the truck: parts on hand, a clean schedule, and a customer who knows what to expect before you ring the bell. Take care of the plumbers and they take care of the customers. It’s that simple.

What you will do

Diagnose and repair residential plumbing: water heaters, drains and sewers, sump and ejector pumps, fixtures, supply and waste piping, gas piping. Rod and camera sewer and drain lines; your truck carries a rodding machine, camera and locator, with a jetter on the way. Rodding is a real part of this job and it pays well here, so if you are a service plumber who also likes drain work, this is your spot. Give homeowners a straight diagnosis and a few options (repair, proper fix, replacement) with the price up front before any work starts. Then do the work right. Keep your truck stocked and clean, take photos and notes on every job in our field service management app, and leave the house cleaner than you found it. Treat every house like it is your neighbor’s, because it probably is.

What we offer

• Top of market pay: base plus a production bonus on completed work. No cap.

• Guaranteed 40-hour week, year-round. Slow weeks are our problem, not yours.

• Company van you take home at night, fully stocked, plus gas card, company phone and tablet.

• We supply the big equipment (rodding machines, camera, press tool, jetter) and give you a tool allowance for specialty tools.

• Health insurance with the company paying most of the premium, starting at 60 days.

• Paid vacation, paid holidays, paid sick days.

• 401(k) with company match after one year.

• Profit sharing for the field team. When the company does well, the plumbers do well.

• Uniforms provided.

• Paid continuing education and license renewal. If you want to train an apprentice, we will sponsor one under you.

• A real path up. Our managers come out of the field, not from outside.

• A say in how we do things: price book, truck layout, suppliers, schedule.

• Referral bonus for every licensed plumber or apprentice you bring in who stays 90 days.

What we need

• Current Illinois (IDPH) plumbing license in good standing.

• Five or more years of residential service and repair. Drain and sewer experience strongly preferred.

• Comfortable talking with homeowners and explaining options without pressure.

• A professional who takes pride in the work: clean truck, clean job, done right the first time.

• Valid driver’s license with a clean driving record. Able to pass a background check and drug screen.

• Own hand tools.

• Live within reasonable distance of the Hinsdale / Oak Brook area.
