Plumbing Experience Built Over Decades
From Family Trade to Local Plumbing Company
John Schnittker began plumbing with his grandfather in 1986. He has spent 40 years learning, working, and building experience in the plumbing trade.
After holding a plumbing license for 20 years, John founded TCS Plumbing in 2012. The company was built around a simple goal: provide quality plumbing work while treating customers with respect.
Today, TCS Plumbing serves both homes and businesses throughout the Hastings area and nearby West Michigan communities. We handle small repairs, large replacements, new construction, remodels, and ongoing commercial plumbing needs.
What Matters to TCS Plumbing
Clear Answers and Honest Communication
Plumbing problems can be stressful. A customer may be dealing with a water leak, a sewer backup, no hot water, or a project that feels overwhelming.
TCS Plumbing takes time to explain what is happening. We answer questions, discuss available options, and help customers understand the next step before work begins.
We believe customers should feel comfortable with the work being done in their home or business.
Respect for Your Property
Our team treats homes, businesses, and job sites with care. TCS Plumbing team members arrive in uniforms and marked vehicles, communicate clearly, and work to keep the space clean.
Whether the project is a faucet repair, a failed water heater, a commercial drain issue, or a full remodel, we want customers to feel confident in the people working on their property.
A Master Plumber with a Builder’s Perspective
John’s plumbing experience began working alongside his grandfather, where he learned the trade firsthand. He later earned his builder’s license and gained experience in home construction before returning to plumbing. Today, John is both a Master Plumber and a licensed general contractor.
That combination gives homeowners the benefit of plumbing expertise and a broader understanding of how plumbing systems fit into a home’s structure. It helps him recommend practical solutions for plumbing projects, remodels, and new construction.
TCS Plumbing is a Delta Pro Contractor.
