I'm Joe — and I started Friendly Neighborhood Plumber in January 2023, out of my truck, with my fiancée Abi running the phone. Two years in, it's still just the two of us. Pick up, you get me. That's the whole pitch.
Eight years in the trade. Two as my own boss.
I keep the truck stocked for the calls Knoxville actually makes — water heaters that quit at 6 am, slabs that start weeping, and the tankless someone's trying to size for a 1940s Bearden bungalow.
Standard 40 / 50 gal swap-outs, hybrid heat-pump units, and tankless retrofits. Permitted, hauled, and walked through with you before I leave.
Cabling, hydro-jetting, and full PEX or copper re-runs. I camera the line first and you see the same screen I do — no mystery quotes.
Slab leaks, ceiling drips, the silent toilet that's running up your KUB bill. I bring the moisture meter and the patience to find the source, not just patch it.
West Knox water is hard. I install whole-home softeners, RO at the sink, and backflow preventers — sized for your actual usage, not the catalog spec.

A look at this week's truck
I'd rather show you four jobs from this week than ten stock photos from somewhere else. Here's where the truck actually went.
