Lining Apprentice

Bill Howe started AM/PM Sewer & Drain Cleaning in 1980. The company began out of Bill Howe’s studio apartment in Pacific Beach, with one goal in mind – give San Diego residents a plumbing company they can trust and continuously build a repeat customer base. By 1983, Tina Howe joined the ranks of Bill Howe as the very first customer care representative. Together Bill and Tina laid the groundwork for the 200+ employees that call Bill Howe home. Today, the Bill Howe Family of Companies has evolved into San Diego’s most prominent home services company with an 80% repeat and referral customer base. We offer quality plumbing, heating and air, and flood and restoration services alongside legendary customer service. We Know Howe!
