For more than 37 years, the Hirst family has been helping homeowners, businesses, builders, and property managers throughout the Quad Cities solve plumbing problems, complete new projects, and keep life moving.
Along the way, we’ve repaired leaks, installed miles of pipe, helped build homes from the ground up, supported local businesses, and seen just about every plumbing surprise imaginable.
Some things have changed over the years.
Good work hasn’t.
Hirst Plumbing & Mechanical is proudly veteran-owned, family-owned, and operated by Mike and John Hirst.
Long before the company became a trusted name throughout the Quad Cities, service, accountability, and hard work were already part of the family’s foundation. Those values continue to guide every project we take on today.
Whether we’re helping a homeowner with a water heater replacement, completing a plumbing rough-in for a custom home, or supporting a commercial facility, we approach every job the same way:
Simple isn’t always easy, but it’s worked pretty well for the last 37 years
Water heaters have a habit of quitting right before you need a hot shower. Sump pumps seem to know exactly when the biggest storm of the year is coming. The bathroom remodel you’ve been planning for years is always worth it once it’s finished. Water has a tendency to go places it shouldn’t.
Honestly, nobody has ever called a plumber because everything was going flowing perfectly.
It’s fixing a problem for those in need. It’s helping someone finally enjoy the home they’ve worked hard for. It’s seeing a custom home take shape from the ground up. It’s helping a family update a bathroom that’s been on the wish list for years. It’s helping a business stay open, a builder stay on schedule, or a homeowner breathe a little easier knowing the problem has been taken care of.
The plumbing matters. The people behind it matter more.
When you call Hirst, you're not calling a giant corporation. You're calling a local family business led by Mike and John Hirst, backed by more than 37 years of experience and a commitment to doing things the right way. We'll communicate clearly. We'll stand behind our work. We'll treat your home or business with respect.
