General contractors, you probably don’t want to build a big field full of holes, right?
We know how hard it is to keep construction jobs on time and on budget. Rimrock Plumbing Is willing to work together with you on construction projects.
We understand how much you need professional and reliable subcontractors, like plumbers, to make that happen. Subcontractors, and their work with each other, can make your job much better or worse, more or less profitable, and increase or decrease the risk of safety or rule violations on your job site.
At Rimrock Plumbing, we take teamwork just as seriously as we take plumbing.
Our commercial and residential plumbing services for general contractors include:
- On-time arrival: We come when you schedule us and complete our tasks. You won’t have project delays due to our plumbing team.
- Staying on schedule: We keep you on schedule and stay on the job until our work is completed. We don’t “make an appearance” and then disappear until you call us again.
- Responsibility and strong work ethic: Rimrock Plumbing is a small company with two master plumbers and one journeyman plumber. We all have a vested interest in establishing long-term relationships with our contractor clients.
- Experience: Each of our plumbers has more than 10 years of experience in plumbing, both commercial and residential.
- Professional: Our plumbers have excellent customer service skills. You never have to worry about one of our plumbers reflecting poorly on your business with your customers.
- Timely bidding: All of our bids are completed in a timely manner so you can get bids to your customer.
- Timely paperwork: Change orders and other paperwork is completed as needed and on time.
- Responsive: We usually return calls within minutes, but we will always return your call the same day.
- Teamwork: We know that our plumbing work affects others. We try our best to anticipate potential problems and bring them to your attention so they do not end up costing you money.
- Cooperation: Our team works well with other subcontractors on the job, ensuring a hassle-free job site that is productive and profitable.
- Excellent equipment: Our tools and equipment are in excellent condition.
- Safe: We comply with both the OSHA regulations and your company’s safety rules.
- Tobacco-free work environment: None of our employees use tobacco.
- Specialized commercial plumbing services: Small to mid-sized commercial remodels, additions and new construction, including efficient and economical installation of large diameter (1 1/2″ to 6″) gas and water piping.

As a Plumber's Wife, I used to be the service coordinator in our family business. One day, I came out in a cold sweat when a caller gave me her name. Terry Orr, the local newspaper editor, got on the phone. Terry was a beloved community member, known for her keen wit and unwavering opinions, which she expressed in her famous editorial pieces. Benjamin Franklin famously said, "Never pick a fight with one who buys ink by the barrel." I knew immediately we would need to wow Terry with 5-star service or live with the fallout for years to come. I hired David and educated him on the significance of creating an excellent first impression. I printed new checklists and brought out our training materials. As he hopped into his pickup, David rolled his eyes.
Always choose your appliances and fixtures before you start a remodel. This is especially important when you are tackling your own remodeling project. If you have a general contractor, they already know this information and will make sure you’ve chosen all of your appliances and fixtures for your new space before they bring in the sub-contractors. In Billings, we are lucky to have several nice plumbing showrooms with samples, books and stock of fixtures and appliances for kitchens, bathrooms and laundry rooms and any other plumbing needs. These plumbing showrooms are at Mountain Supply, Ferguson, The Water Closet (Northwest Pipe) and a few others. They may have to special order your choices and that could take nearly 6 weeks. Or they may have your needs in stock, and they can hold on to them for you after your purchase if you don’t have room for them at home during the first phase of the remodel. It is especially important for plumbers, electricians and cabinet makers to know the specifications for the products so they know what is going in before you start to remodel.
What’s your favorite thing about being a plumber?
Can you have too much water pressure? You might think that high water pressure would make for a nice shower, more water power to wash out dirty pans and make it easier to wash your car. Isn’t more always better? Not so with water pressure. Some national and regional plumbing codes and most plumbing product manufacturers say that water pressure should not be more than 80 pounds per square inch (psi). Often, in some areas of Billings, including the Heights, water supply pressures can be more than 120 psi.

Mechanical room in my house. The water meter and water valve is to the right of the furnace. Every mechanical room looks different, but the water meter is in the mechanical room at least 90% of the time. If not, we would have to look around the house to find it
