Thank you to Jeff Weaver from JAWS Plumbing LLC for an informative presentation at Quakertown Tip Club.
Jeff has been in the plumbing industry for over 2 decades and started JAWS Plumbing 14 years ago. He shared insight into the growing shortage of skilled plumbers - part of what’s often called the “silver tsunami,” as many experienced tradespeople retire. With an estimated 550,000-plumber shortage nationwide, Jeff emphasized that the trades are a great career path and that college isn’t the right fit for everyone.
Jeff also shared some helpful homeowner insights that often come up during the spring and summer months, including keeping an eye on increased outdoor water usage as hoses, spigots, and irrigation systems are put back into regular use after winter. He also noted that seasonal changes can be a good reminder to check for slow leaks or running toilets, which can sometimes go unnoticed over time.
Another year-round tip Jeff shared: if you hear phantom water running in your toilet, try adding food coloring to the tank. If color shows up in the bowl, you may have a faulty flapper.
In addition to plumbing services, Jeff’s company also handles drain cleaning, water treatment, and excavating, serving customers within about 30 minutes of the Quakertown area.
