Plumber in San Rafael, CA
Marin County's seat — and the town where Dusty's plumbing journey began at a boatyard in the late 90s, right out of high school.
Where It All Started for Dusty
San Rafael is the Marin County seat, and it holds a special place in this business: it is where Dusty's plumbing journey began. Right out of high school in the late 90s, he started at a boatyard in San Rafael, working in the bilges of boats replacing ball valves, struts, shafts, and props. Plumbing turned out to be a natural fit, and that boatyard background taught him to diagnose carefully in tight spaces before touching a tool — a habit he still brings to every home today. He spent over a decade with a large plumbing company before starting Cascade Plumbing Solutions.
San Rafael has established neighborhoods with older homes, and Dusty is right at home with the aging pipes and original fixtures that come with them. He diagnoses the real cause, explains your options before any work starts, and works cleanly.
The Drive South From Rohnert Park
San Rafael is about 30 miles south of Rohnert Park, roughly a 35-minute drive. When you call, Dusty gives you a real arrival window so you know when to expect him — he never promises a response time he cannot keep.
