Chicago, IL — March 2010 – Celebrating 50 years in business on the North Shore, Mahoney Plumbing is proud to announce its 50th Anniversary. Since 1960 Mahoney Plumbing has been the source for home comfort, offering solutions to local residents needs. In 2010, it marks 50 years on the North Shore and celebrates the companys position as a leader in the plumbing, heating and air conditioning field.
For its 50th anniversary, Mahoney Plumbing will commemorate the occasion kicking off a year-long celebration beginning March 17, 2010 ending on Saint Patricks Day 2011. The celebration will feature specials, education and reminders. Believing that educating customers on preventative tips, the company offers insights on ways to prevent troubles like how to check whether your homes sump pump is working; ways to prevent pipes from freezing and simple ways to keep your garbage disposal working.
Today the company attributes its success to the amazing people that make up the Mahoney Plumbing team. With some technicians celebrating 20 years (and more) with the company, it is clear that the companys long term success has come from all their hard work.
Over the years weve become a part of our customers lives. Weve saved the day on Thanksgiving morning when the garbage disposal clogged from too many potatoes, stopped sewage from destroying the in-laws visit and updated bathrooms for homeowners to showcase at their Fourth of July bar-b-ques. We are here whenever they need us. Im incredibly proud to be able to say that 50 years later we are still offering the level of service my father did, said Dan Mahoney, President of Mahoney Plumbing.
Fifty years ago, Bart Mahoney Jr. began this company based on simple, yet profound, philosophies like good ethics is good business, take off your shoes at every home as if it is your own, and when you sell from your heart, your pocket will be rewarded. Pictured at the right is Bart taking a rare break with his grandson, then 2yrs old (circa 1990).
Since its beginning, the company has relied on professional organizations to stay abreast of the latest trends. An avid supporter of the plumbing industry, Dan Mahoney has held multiple seats on local and state boards and committees. Currently, Dan is on the Board of Directors for PAMCANI (The Plumbing and Mechanical Contractors Authority of Northern Illinois). He also is a Trustee for the Local Pension and Welfare for the Local 501 Union and a Director of the Illinois PHCC (Plumbing Heating Cooling Contractors Association). In 2006, Dan was President of the Illinois PHCC (Plumbing Heating Cooling Contractors Association).
In addition to itsinvolvement with professional organizations, Mahoney Plumbing has been recognized for its charitable works in Lake, Cook and McHenry counties along with a remote Boy Scout camp located near Antigo, Wisconsin.
Throughout the companys journey, one thing has remained the same: the companys philosophy that good ethics is good business. According to Dan, Its what great, enduring companies do and its what has made us what we are today. Weve grown from a 2-man shop run out of a shoebox to the company we are today thanks to that enduring philosophy.
