In this episode of Plumb Bums, hosts Phil and Max sit down with a true legend in the plumbing game—Bill Sherman, the powerhouse behind 1-800-GOT-WATER. Owner of "Super Plumber", Bill takes us back to where it all began: crawling under homes at just 14 years old, learning the trade the hard way. From those gritty beginnings, he shares how he built a plumbing empire—buying up struggling businesses, turning them around, and carving out a name as one of the most respected figures in the industry. Bill gets real about what it takes to succeed: the late nights, the tough customers, the mistakes that nearly sank him—and the smart moves that made him. It's a conversation full of grit, wisdom, and no-BS advice for any plumber looking to build something big. Whether you're just getting your boots dirty or thinking about buying your third van, this one’s packed with stories and lessons you don’t want to miss.
