Hershall Garrard
April 16, 1936 – May 24, 2018

Garrard Plumbing was built on the hard work, heart, and integrity of Hershall Garrard. More than just the founder of our company, he was the foundation of our family. His dedication to honest work, his love for people, and the pride he took in every job set the standard we still follow today.

We miss him every single day — his stories, his wisdom, his laugh. But his legacy lives on in the work we do, the values we uphold, and the way we treat our customers like family.

This business is his legacy, and we’re proud to carry it forward in his honor.

Garrard Plumbing has been proudly serving Blount County and the surrounding areas since 1960.
Founded by Hershall Garrard, the company has remained family-owned and operated for over six decades. Today, Garrard Plumbing is run by Hershal’s son, Robert Garrard, who continues the tradition of honest, high-quality plumbing with a personal touch.

What sets us apart is our commitment to treating every home like our own. As a one-man operation, Robert brings decades of hands-on experience, integrity, and pride to every job — whether it’s a small repair or a full remodel. There’s no corporate call center here — just a trusted local plumber who answers the phone himself and shows up ready to help.

If you're looking for dependable service with deep local roots, give us a call today to schedule your appointment. At Garrard Plumbing, you're not just a customer — you're family.

Robert Garrard — Carrying On the Legacy of Quality Plumbing Since 1960 

Robert Garrard — Master Plumber, Father, Grandfather

With over 30 years of experience, Robert Garrard is a master plumber who continues the legacy his father, Hershal Garrard, began in 1960. As the second-generation owner of Garrard Plumbing, Robert takes deep pride in every job he takes on — from simple repairs to full remodels — treating each home as if it were his own.

More than just a plumber, Robert is a devoted father and proud grandfather. His love for family shows in the way he runs his business: with honesty, care, and a commitment to doing things the right way. He's a one-man operation who answers the phone himself, shows up when he says he will, and leaves no detail overlooked.

For Robert, plumbing isn’t just a trade — it’s a lifelong calling and a way to serve his community with the same values his father passed down.
