There's nothing more important to Hirsch than our customers. That's why we've decided to feature one of our awesome customers each quarter to share their insight on their business and the industry. We're a community, so let's continue to learn and grow from eachother shall we?

What’s your name and the name of your Business? Casey Merrell and my business is Classic Plumbing.

How long have you been a plumber? I’ve been a plumber for 16 years.

What major changes have you seen in the industry throughout your career? EPA laws have been some of the major changes I’ve seen in the industry. Also qualified applicants are depleting since I started, I can’t find any new plumbers.

What was your craziest plumbing job? 8 story high rise drain replacement at Fullerton college, we changed all of the drains in their building.

Where’s your local Hirsch Branch and who’s your go-to guy there? Santa Fe Springs is my local branch… Juan and Marco are my go-to guys.

Favorite part about working with Hirsch? The camaraderie. Everyone seems to know my name everywhere I go and it’s great to be able recognize other plumbers from the Hirsch events. I don’t get that at any other supply house, which is why we don’t go there.

Where do you see the future of the industry heading? Drain cleaning due to low flow faucets and fixtures will be a bigger issue because we’re using less water.
