Our Story
The story of Roberson McLaughlin Plumbing
Russ Roberson was running his own plumbing business in Visalia when he met John McLaughlin. “He asked me if I had any work for him, and I told him to call me the next morning at 8 and I’d let him know.” John called promptly at 8, and even though there was no work available that day, continued to call each morning at 8 until he was hired. “I knew he was reliable,” Russ said. After four years of experience, John took his state exam and passed. Roberson-McLaughlin Plumbing was born in 2002. Their business model has evolved since those early days into its present form, offering both residential and commercial plumbing services. “Our partnership is built on respect and trust for each other.”
Why are they Plumb Loco?
John McLaughlin’s dad had a plum colored Harley-Davidson motorcycle, which he loved to ride and work on. “Plum Loco” was emblazoned on the side and John always thought the phrase was cool.
In 2002, when John and Russ Roberson became business partners, they needed a slogan for their caps and T-shirts.
John remembered the phrase “plum loco” and thought that with the addition of one letter, it would be the perfect phrase for Roberson-McLaughlin Plumbing.
Plum Loco became Plumb Loco. Customers loved it and the phrase stuck.
