With each person hired, a fun new truck sporting a new superhero took to the streets. By choosing to only bring on plumbers that possessed superior skills and a dedicated customer focus, Archdekin and Prince safeguarded the high standards on which the company was founded. That work ethic translated to more clients, many of them repeat customers, and a need to hire more like-minded professionals to help them meet the burgeoning demand.

Back then it was just two trucks and two guys with a great work ethic,” says Archdekin. We were both on the tools working 12-hour days, and it was a lot of fun. “Partnering up was the best thing I ever did. Archdekin’s love for the Hulk found its way into the corporate logo-a big, powerful force racing to the rescue-that adorned the company’s first truck followed by Prince’s truck featuring the equally powerful Fantastic Four character, the Thing. The iconic plumbing outfit started in Pete Archdekin’s backyard shop in 1999 when he and Andrew Prince were brought together by a shared love for the job and a desire to work hard to help people. Over the past 20 years, a fleet of trucks emblazoned with superheroes wielding plungers and pipe wrenches has told Calgarians all they need to know about who saves the day in a plumbing, furnace or hot water emergency: Pete the Plumber.
