In this episode, we sit down with Charity Tovar, owner of Charity’s Plumbing Solutions, to discuss what it’s really like to be a woman thriving in the plumbing trade and why the industry needs more like her. Charity shares candid insights on how society has stripped some of the dignity from skilled trades, the dangers of our “quick fix” culture, and why plumbing is a long game that demands quality, patience, and expertise.
We’ll unpack why plumbing costs vary from company to company, the difference between online retail parts and contract-grade materials, and how “shopping down” for the lowest price often leads to bigger bills in the long run. Plus, Charity reveals her proven approach to helping customers understand the true value of professional plumbing work and how we can all play a role in elevating respect for the trades.
Whether you’re a homeowner, aspiring tradesperson, or just someone curious about the business side of plumbing, this conversation will change the way you think about the pipes and people that keep our homes running.
