Derek, also known as the Drummer Plumber, has been serving the East Bay with expert plumbing services since 1990. With over 30 years of hands-on experience, he specializes in water heater installations and small residential plumbing jobs. His journey began after working for a water heater installation company, where he saw firsthand how customers were overcharged. Wanting to offer fair and honest service, he started Drummer Plumber to do things differently—focusing on transparency, quality, and professionalism.
Derek is passionate about providing top-notch service without high-pressure sales tactics. He believes in using only American-made Bradford White water heaters and high-quality plumbing products to ensure lasting solutions for his customers. When he’s not fixing leaks and installing water heaters, Derek enjoys playing the drums—hence the name, Drummer Plumber! His commitment to customer satisfaction and his friendly approach have earned him a strong reputation, with glowing reviews on Yelp and Nextdoor.
