Ace Plumbing’s Front Man Jack DeVetten-The Professor of Plumbing.
Journey of of the Professor of Plumbing
My name is Jack DeVetten. I am the Professor of Plumbing, and I’ve been at the helm of Ace Plumbing, guiding it as the master plumber through all its phases. Especially after its 2001 merger with my other company, Simcor Plumbing Corp Trades run in my family. My grandfather was a welder, and my father was a skilled plumber. From a young age, I apprenticed under my dad, learning the plumbering craft firsthand.
By working alongside my dad during my school years, I developed essential skills, and became a junior plumber. This hands-on apprenticeship in the 1980s paved the way for me to become a Master Plumber by 1991.
Throughout my career as a plumber, I’ve worked on diverse projects, especially in Calgary and Southern Alberta. As a plumber, I worked on constructing the Olympic luge and bobsleigh runs freezing lines in 1988. I also worked as a plumber to major infrastructures like the Bearspaw and Sheerness plants and the Lethbridge regional hospital.
The year 1995 was pivotal for me. I became the owner of Double D Plumbing and started Simcor Plumbing Corp. Owning a business was new to me. I faced frustration initially. Many builders didn’t want me meeting with new homeowners. They opposed discussing the plumbing specs of the new homes.
A Service company is born
Despite this, I found joy in working directly with homeowners when I was able. As a result it sparked a new idea in me. I decided to focus on residential service. That’s why I bought Ace Plumbing and Heating.
After acquiring Ace Plumbing, I, as the lead plumber, set a goal to employ only the most skilled, professional plumbing technicians. My plumber’s commitment ensured high standards of cleanliness, courtesy, and safety.
Being a plumber committed to excellence, I have always provided solid warranties and quality parts, ensuring durable and reliable plumbing services.
At Ace Plumbing, our team of plumbers maintain high service standards, offering 24-hour plumbing services to address urgent client needs, thus ensuring a plumber only a call away during a plumbing emergency.
My dedication as a plumber to client satisfaction birthed the Ace Plumbing promise: “Happy today or you don’t pay,” reflecting our service ethos.
Personally addressing client concerns, I uphold the high standards of the plumbing profession. With these innovations, and many others Ace Plumbing stands ready to deliver the exceptional service and reliability that only a seasoned plumbing company can provide.
