Mick's Plumbing's Oldest Customer with a 100 Year-Old Functional Shower Valve

Mick's Plumbing recently had a memorable experience while working at the home of Frank, a beloved 98-year-old customer in Portland, OR. During what seemed like a routine job, the team stumbled upon a remarkable piece of history. Hidden behind the wall, they discovered a shower valve that was 100 years old, and still fully functional!

The find was a surprise to everyone. The century-old valve from 1924, made of robust brass and showcasing intricate craftsmanship, stood as a sign of the durability and quality of early plumbing materials.

It's rare to come across such well-preserved historical pieces during regular repair jobs and stands as a testament to the plumbing engineering and design that was foundational for the trade.

This unexpected find turned a standard job into a unique historical moment for Mick's Plumbing. The occasion not only highlights the craftsmanship of the past but also brings a sense of connection between different generations, making this job a memorable chapter in Mick's Plumbing's history.

Finally, thank you Frank for your many years as a loyal customer!
