Little did you know… there's a whole other side to the owner of 716 Plumbing LLC that most people probably don't know about! 🔥
Plumbing was actually my first trade. After spending just over four years plumbing, I honestly wasn't feeling challenged enough and decided to try something different. That's when I got a welding job at my dad's shop.
And that's where my passion for welding really started.
From there, I went on to spend roughly 5-6 more years working in welding and fabrication shops around Buffalo, learning everything I could about welding, stainless steel process piping, precision tube bending, and custom fabrication.
I'm talking about hand bending 20-foot lengths of stainless steel tubing, fitting and welding complicated piping systems for food processing, oil, pharmaceutical freeze dryers for companies like Pfizer, and other industrial applications.
I would back purge stainless steel piping with argon, making sure my welds were just as clean on the inside as they were on the outside.
You know those perfect looking TIG welds you see all over Instagram? That's the kind of stuff I was doing every day.
I really excelled at TIG welding. Overhead, upside down, in tight spaces, and even welding with a mirror when I couldn't see the joint directly.
Throughout those years, I continued plumbing on and off. Eventually, I stepped away from welding, and by 2018, I was focused entirely on continuing the growth of 716 Plumbing LLC.
But I never lost my passion for welding and fabrication.
Over the past couple of years, I've started investing in welding equipment again and taking on a few custom projects.
Now I'm looking to expand and start offering some of those services again!
Some of the work I'm interested in:
• Stainless Steel Process Piping
• Food Grade, Pharmaceutical, and Industrial Piping
• TIG Welding and Argon Back Purging
• Aluminum, Copper, Brass, and Steel Welding
• Precision Tube Bending and Fitting
• Orbital Welding Applications
