Plumber Seneca, SC

Marvin is an Anderson native through and through, and there’s nowhere he’d rather be than right here serving his community. Family is everything to him—when he’s not out taking care of septic systems, you’ll find him spending time with his nieces, nephews, and godchildren (who definitely keep him on his toes).

By day, Marvin is making sure septic systems are running exactly how they should—thorough, professional, and done right the first time. By night… he’s got a whole different skill set. Marvin has been a recording artist in the rap scene for years, and let’s just say—we’re patiently waiting on that first Young Plumbing Services anthem to drop.

He’s also a big-time computer guy, which means whether it’s tech or tanks, Marvin’s all about understanding how things work and making them run better.

Random (and completely questionable) fact:
Marvin claims he can identify a septic issue and freestyle a rap about it… at the same time… without missing a beat. We haven’t officially tested this yet—but we’re getting close.

We’re excited to officially (and finally) welcome Andrew to the Young Plumbing Services team full-time! If he looks familiar, that’s because Andrew has been helping us out on school breaks over the past year—but now he’s made it official, and we couldn’t be happier to have him with us every day. Andrew lives right here in Anderson with his family and has already proven himself to be someone we can count on. His work ethic, reliability, and willingness to jump in wherever needed have stood out from the start—and it’s exactly why we knew we wanted him on the team long-term. Now… when we asked Andrew about his hobbies, he gave us two: video games and sleeping. Respect. But what he didn’t mention is that he’s allegedly ranked top 1% globally in competitive napping, once slept through three alarms, a thunderstorm, and a fire drill—and still showed up to work early. We’re still trying to figure that one out. And for a completely random fun fact: Andrew claims he can solve a Rubik’s Cube in under a minute… but only if no one is watching. We’re working on verifying that. In all seriousness, Andrew is a great addition to the team, and we’re excited to see him continue to grow in the trade.

Glad to have you with us full-time, Andrew. Welcome (again) to the family.

We’re fired up to welcome the newest member of the Young Plumbing Services team—Skyler… also known around here as “Noodle.” Skyler lives in Georgia with his wife and daughter and joined our team after hearing about the culture we’ve worked so hard to build. Safe to say… he fit right in from day one. Before plumbing, Skyler worked as an electrical lineman—so he’s no stranger to hard work, long days, and getting the job done right. And it shows. In just a short time, he’s already impressed the team with his dedication, strong work ethic, and how quickly he picks things up. Not to mention… the guy can run an excavator like he was born in the seat. When he’s not on the job, you’ll probably find him riding dirt bikes, hitting the golf course, or wrenching on cars. And in case you’re wondering about the nickname… yes, “Noodle” stuck. We’re still not totally sure why—but we are sure he once won a county fair spaghetti-eating contest using only one hand… while blindfolded.

We’re pumped to have you on the team, Skyler. Welcome to the family.

Meet Jeremy, our newest apprentice! A Boston native with a resume as long as a cross-country flight, Jeremy spent years as a lineman traversing several states before choosing Easley as his home base. He’s traded the high-voltage lines for a new journey with us, bringing a “get it done” attitude and a serious love for the game. When he isn’t mastering his new craft, you’ll find him on the golf course, cheering on his favorite teams, or enjoying life with his wife and baby daughter.

Random Fun Fact: Jeremy is a self-taught virtuoso on the bagpipes, but he only performs during the halftime show of the Super Bowl (from the comfort of his living room, much to his neighbors’ confusion).

You might notice a familiar face behind the camera… Our very own Caila has stepped into a new role as Brand Content Coordinator for Young Plumbing Services! Many of you remember when we first introduced Caila as one of our plumbing apprentices. From day one, she proved she wasn’t afraid to jump right in — literally. On her very first job she grabbed a shovel, hopped into the ditch, and got straight to work in the mud. Over the last few months, Caila has been learning the trade, supporting our technicians in the field, and becoming a valued part of our team. Now she’s taking on a new mission: capturing the story of Young Plumbing Services. That means you’ll start seeing more behind-the-scenes moments, job transformations, team culture, and maybe even a few plumber shenanigans along the way. If you see Caila around with a camera… Don’t worry — you might just end up on our Facebook page.
Relax. You’re with family. 😀

We’re thrilled to introduce the newest member of the Young Plumbing Services family, our dedicated apprentice, Mekhi! Mekhi brings a winning attitude and a fascinating background to the team. Originally hailing from Lansing, Michigan, he spent his formative years in Texas before finding his spot here. You might be wondering about the unique name—he was named after the famous actor Mekhi Phifer! When he’s not mastering the art of the wrench, you can find Mekhi pursuing his two major passions: football and music. A huge sports fan, he’s always ready to cheer on his favorite college team, the Ohio State Buckeyes! On the creative side, Mekhi is a talented musician who loves to make music by rapping and playing the drum set. Mekhi’s energy, passion, and quick-to-learn attitude make him an invaluable addition. Next time you see him on a job, be sure to ask him about his latest beat or the Buckeyes’ score!

After a distinguished career in administration, Lynn decided “retirement” was just a fancy word for starting a new adventure, and we are thrilled to have her bringing her expertise to our team part-time. Lynn is the primary force keeping our Young Family Advantage Plan running like a well-oiled machine while elevating every aspect of our client experience. Originally a New Jersey native, she fled the northeastern snow nearly 40 years ago and has been soaking up the Southern sunshine ever since. When she isn’t busy coordinating with families, you’ll find her traveling the globe, mastering complex puzzle games, or trying to keep up with her five energetic grandchildren.

Most people find their jobs on LinkedIn; Reana found hers mid-shift. Our very own Jessica was so blown away by Reana’s elite multitasking and “service with a smile” while she was waitressing that she basically recruited her before the check hit the table. Reana didn’t just join our culture—she was already living it. Currently a senior at Crescent High School, Reana is preparing to trade her high school hallways for the campus of Anderson University this fall. Since jumping into the Service Coordinator role, she’s proven to be a human sponge—learning the ropes at record speed and adapting to every curveball we throw her way.When she isn’t keeping our schedules on track, you can find her fueled by an unhealthy amount of coffee, laughing with friends, or taking long walks on the beach (standard, we know). Fun Fact: Reana can allegedly communicate with squirrels, though the squirrels have yet to comment for this bio.

Alberto, affectionately known to us as “Maui”, has been with the team since March of 2023. Stepping into the role of lead technician in the spring of 2024, Alberto has dedicated himself to learning and improving his skills! He has a Bachelor’s degree in Biology, and this has contributed to his passion concerning water quality! Along with Doug, Alberto has spearheaded our efforts to become the premier water quality experts in the upstate and cemented our partnership with Halo Water Filtration Systems. Additionally, Alberto loves eclectic cuisines – particularly gourmet mushrooms! He grows several varieties at his Anderson home he shares with his beautiful wife Stella and their dog, Rosie. Alberto holds certifications with both Navien and Rinnai tankless technology and drain clearing.

The Young Plumbing team is thrilled to welcome Doug Paul, a man whose dedication is matched only by his plumbing experience! Doug joins us with years of valuable expertise, having spent time both running calls in the field and expertly advising customers from the trenches of a plumbing supply house. It was at the supply house that Doug truly got to know our team, including owner Doug Young. He witnessed our success and our strong company culture firsthand, and when he decided it was time to return to hands-on work, he knew Young Plumbing was the only place for him. We are incredibly excited to integrate his ambitious nature, powerful work ethic, and years of experience into our operation. Now, for the facts you won’t find on a resume: Doug’s connection to plumbing began early. Legend has it, his very first ‘service call’ involved him heroically rescuing a neighbor’s prize-winning goldfish from a clogged drain using nothing but a straightened coat hanger and sheer, youthful determination—a true sign of his problem-solving skills! And if you thought his work ethic was intense, you should know that outside of plumbing, Doug once held a regional hot dog eating title. This proves that whether he’s tackling a tough re-pipe or a 10-minute all-you-can-eat challenge, Doug Paul finishes every job, and he finishes it fast!

Richard has been with the team almost since the very beginning. His loyalty and dedication is unmatched! Richard is the technician who never goes home without checking in with every other team member to be see if they need help and never minds staying late to take care of a customer. He is an awesome service and install technician, but Richard’s specialty is drain work! Richard is by far the best on the team at clearing a blockage and running a tractor to place a new line. Like most of our team, Richard is certified in drain clearing and both Navien and Rinnai tankless technology. He calls Seneca home where he enjoys spending time with his sweet mom, his son, and his dog, Calisto.

Matt, short for Mattox – not Matthew, has been with our team for over two years. He has an Associate’s degree in Building Construction, but thankfully decided that plumbing was the career for him! Don’t let his quiet and reserved nature fool you, Matt is incredibly clever and has a charming sense of humor. He is actively involved with his local church, enjoys riding his motorcycle, and is a die-hard chocolate fan. He is never very far from a Fudge Round or Hershey bar! Matt holds certifications in Rinnai tankless technology and drain clearing.

As a young professional in the field, Josef has a commanding knowledge. With over ten years of experience, Josef leads our service team! Passionate about providing quality service, Josef sets a high standard for our team. He is always sure to educate his customers on all their options and seeks to partner with them for the long-term health of their home plumbing! He is certified with both Navien and Rinnai tankless technology as well as being certified drain clearing technology. In his spare time, Josef enjoys riding his motorcycle, playing guitar, and spending time with cat Reagan.

Kole has been an “honorary Young” for so long that we’re pretty sure he has plumbing in his DNA by now. After years of helping us out on jobs here and there, this Dixie High graduate knew there was only one crew he wanted to launch his career with. Kole brings a level of “fun charm” to the job site that’s hard to find—honestly, his positive energy is more refreshing than a cold drink on a July afternoon. He’s the kind of guy who arrives with a smile and leaves the job better than he found it. When he’s not under a sink or running pipe, you’ll find him deep in the woods or out on the water. Whether he’s hunting, fishing, or camping, Kole is at his best when he’s outdoors. We’ve watched him grow up over the years, and now we are so pumped to watch him excel as a pro!

Random Fact: Kole is a certified “Snack Sommelier”—he can tell you exactly which gas station on the way to a job site has the best beef jerky and the coldest Gatorade.

Jessica never expected to build a career in the trades, but she has become passionate about the industry! She graduated from Anderson University with a B.A. in English in 2007 – just one week before she married Doug. She was a homeschooling mom for many years before she got heavily involved with our company in 2020. As a mom of five children, she brought her organizational and delegating skills to work here! Since then, Jessica has dedicated herself to becoming an expert in business operations, and she has established herself as an authority in that time. She is the SC State chapter lead with Women in Plumbing & Piping and also serves as an advisor with this organization. Additionally, Jessica is a mentor with a national alliance of service providers known as Service Nation. She is even scheduled to speak on business practices at one of the largest service conventions in the nation in October 2024.

Doug started Young Plumbing Services as a “one-man show” in 2017 and is largely responsible for our superior reputation. Doug works tirelessly to be sure our team is trained to be efficient and knowledgeable. He is NSS certified with Navien Tankless Technology as well as Rinnai tankless technology. Furthermore, he is certified with Halo Water Filtration Systems to be sure your home’s water is keeping you and your plumbing happy and healthy. Doug also holds several drain and drain clearing certifications. In addition to plumbing, Doug has also worked in general residential construction allowing him to understand thoroughly how all the systems of your home work together. Additionally, Doug has a background in law enforcement and was even a certified firearms instructor with the SC Dept. of Corrections.
