The origin of Brandon’s Plumbing takes us back more than 30 years. The location, appropriately enough, was in a shoulder-deep ditch where Brandon Morrison was working for another local plumbing company with a friend named Ed. Erin Morrison, Operations Manager, says the story really does sum up the company’s long-time commitment to the plumbing trade.
“There looked at each other and said, ‘We should have our own plumbing company!’” said Erin. “That’s exactly what they did, and they both have their own companies and are still friends to this day.”
Brandon Morrison is originally from the Moore area and has lived here all his life. He and Erin were introduced by a mutual friend after she graduated from Oklahoma State University. The couple has been together for 20-years, married for 15-years.
“I originally started out in television advertising sales,” said Erin. “I started working for him around a year later.”
Erin says Brandon’s Plumbing has been successful because of their commitment to excellent work and taking care of their employees.
“Our company motto is, ‘Make the company so great people will want to work for free.’” Said Erin. “Loving our employees is something we wholeheartedly believe in. Some don’t get it, so that’s definitely been a learning curve, but while you can’t help everyone, you can make a difference, and I love to see them grow.”
jobs. The Brandon’s Plumbing team travels all over the country during the year, studying best practices and different plumbing management strategies. Over their 30-years of existence, the company has grown to a point where they run around 9 trucks with 5 people on staff in the office. Brandon’s Plumbing specializes in water leak detections and sewer repair, with the capability to send cameras about 125- feet down lines. The company is also set up with four excavators, a couple of Bobcat excavators, along with a hydro-jet and directional drilling machine. Erin says each Brandon’s Plumbing truck is fully stocked with high-tech plumbing equipment and can provide same-day fixes on most
“We’re well-known for our ability to repair the most difficult sewer lines, under buildings, through fields, and entire trailer parks without fail,” said Erin. “The more critical the job, the better we are. It’s an honor when we are referred by other plumbing companies and inspectors.”
Erin says the recent Coronavirus pandemic highlights the most common mistakes consumers make when it comes to plumbing issues.
“It’s a real problem when you put non-biodegradable paper products in your system,” said Erin. “Another common mistake is putting corrosive products in your line or over-stuffing a garbage disposal.”
The Coronavirus pandemic and the unexplainable trend of people hoarding toilet paper is leading consumers to investigate a new area of plumbing, at least for Americans: bidets.
“Bidets are definitely trending since the virus,” said Erin. “We sell both bidets or the conversion seats that are becoming really popular right now. None of these are new technology, but they aren’t typically standard in the United States, but we definitely see them in other cultures.”
Brandon and Erin Morrison are deeply involved in the community. The couple has four children, the older three live out of state (California and Texas) while Ty is in 9th grade at Moore High School. Brandon serves on the City of Moore plumbing board while Erin is a member of the MHS Quarterback Club and is also involved with the Moore Public Schools Foundation. The Morrisons attend Victory Family Church and also act as parents to a Neapolitan mastiff named, “Gus” along with a pack of Pomeranians too numerous to name individually. Erin says they love Moore and doing their part in serving the community both through their business and through volunteer work.
“We like to constantly challenge ourselves to be the best we can be,” said Erin. “We love trying new things and helping other people grow, especially being around like-minded people who like to have fun and avoid toxic situations.”
