Current owner Dale Eashum, who has been actively involved in the business for decades and holds over 30 years as a licensed plumber, maintains this hands-on approach. His ability to connect with customers, stemming from years of personal service and emergency call-outs, ensures that the company operates with both exceptional business acumen and a genuine understanding of the "blue-collar" realities faced by homeowners and businesses. This hybrid perspective fosters trust and reliability, making Henry Eashum & Son Inc. a truly dependable choice for all plumbing and HVAC needs in Kent County.
