From One Truck To A Trusted Brand In Plumbing
Peakzi Podcast: A garage, one truck, and a simple belief: do right by people. That’s how Ed Turek began in 1986, and that’s still how Turek’s Plumbing in Appleton, WI earns trust today. We sit down with Ed to explore the story behind “terrific people, terrific service,” and how a clear set of values—written by employees—powers hiring, training, and day-to-day decisions. From transparent pricing and warranties to fully stocked trucks and fast fixes, Ed shows how ethics become systems and systems become consistency customers can feel.
We dig into the six values that anchor the culture—support, honesty, commitment, growth, communication, and gratitude—and how they translate into real behaviors like listening well, doing what you say, and teaching what you know. Ed explains the long path from apprenticeship to master plumber, why he leaned on mentors early, and how sharing knowledge turned into the company’s growth engine. He also breaks down the leadership loop that keeps quality high: define the process, run it, learn, improve, repeat. That discipline helped Turek’s scale from one truck to a multi-department operation without losing its personal touch.
Then we turn to technology and data. Ed walks through how Peakzi’s AI insights help the team understand market rankings, uncover blind spots, and spend smarter on marketing. Instead of guessing where to improve, they see where competitors excel and where opportunity hides. With better visibility across search and AI platforms, they double down on what customers value and refine what needs work. The result is a stronger referral engine and a brand reputation built on honesty and reliability from first call to final handshake.
If you care about building a home services business that grows on purpose—not by chance—this conversation offers a practical blueprint: values you can act on, systems that make service repeatable, and data that keeps you honest. Subscribe, share this episode with a fellow home services pro, and leave a review telling us which value you’re committing to this week.
