Plumber Spends Down To His Last $100 – How’d It Work Out?
In 2012 Marco Jover Jr took a huge gamble on his future. With his first child on the way, he knew there was no choice but to bet it all on himself.
At 23 years old, Marco was at a crossroads. His job at a local plumbing company reached a breaking point when his boss announced commissions would be slashed by 30%, due to an IRS audit.
The news came at a particularly challenging time for Marco; he and his wife were expecting their first child, they had just moved into their first apartment, and most of his monthly bills were due in less than two weeks.
With only $2,100 to his name, Marco was overwhelmed and frustrated. How could he possibly make ends meet on a reduced salary? How could he provide for his growing family?
The next day, he made a bold decision. “I quit my job and spent $2,000 on a 1998 Ford work truck, leaving just $100 in my bank account.”
His understandably stressed wife questioned the decision, but Marco was determined to make it work.
He started advertising plumbing services on Craigslist. Using the few tools he had, Marco worked tirelessly, day and night, seven days a week.
He started getting jobs and exceeding expectations, always making sure to follow up with customers. Eventually, glowing reviews came in and referrals started stacking up.
The journey was far from easy, but the young father-to-be was fueled by ambition, goals, and an unwavering work ethic.
Fast forwarding to today, Clean Out Plumbing and Rooter has grown into a successful family-owned business. What started with a 23-year-old’s dream and a lot of hard work became a testament to the power of perseverance and determination.
“The key person to making my business successful is my wife,” claims Marco, “She does all the accounting, the payroll and the organization, which is very important for running a successful business, especially when it comes to audits.”
Core Values 
“At Clean Out Plumbing, we pride ourselves on being the go-to specialists for all your sewer and drain needs, serving both commercial and residential clients.”
The company offers a wide range of services including sewer replacement, drain line repairs, hydro jetting, sewer relining, and robotic cut-outs for branch line reinstatements.
“No job is too big or too small for us—we tackle every project with the same level of dedication and professionalism.”
Facing challenges head-on
When asked what genuinely excites him, Marco says it is the challenge of a tough project. “We thrive on transforming a complicated situation into a seamless solution. Seeing the satisfaction on our customers’ faces and knowing they are 100% happy with our work is our ultimate reward.”
Once the job is complete, the team wants it to look as if they were never there. Clean Out’s skilled technicians are committed to delivering A-1 service every time. “Trust us to handle your sewer and drain issues with precision and care, ensuring your complete satisfaction.”
Clean Out Plumbing and Rooter serves residential and commercial properties throughout Los Angeles County and Orange County California. These areas are especially prone to drainpipe issues such as corrosion and root intrusion due to unique climate conditions and geographical occurrences such as earthquakes.
Customer reviews are the best referrals 
“Our customers often discover Clean Out Plumbing and Rooter through Yelp, where we proudly maintain a five-star rating with nearly 900 five-star reviews!” Marco says his team goes the extra mile to ensure every single customer is 100% satisfied.
“As the business owner, I personally call each customer to confirm their satisfaction with our work and to ensure our technicians are providing excellent service. I save every single customer in my contacts, so when they call, I know exactly who they are and what work we performed. This personal attention fosters genuine relationships with our customers, whether they have the smallest job or the largest project.”
Marco explains that Clean Out Plumbing and Rooter is dedicated to building long-term relationships and providing reliable, high-quality service. Customer service and trust are their top priorities.
What makes Clean Out Plumbing different?
“What surprises our customers more than anything is the technology we employ at Clean Out Plumbing and Rooter. Thanks to our advanced equipment, we can complete jobs that typically take three days in just an eight-hour day. And we back our work with long-term warranties.
Our commitment to using the best technology ensures faster, smoother, and more reliable service for all our customers, setting us apart in the plumbing industry.”
Plumbing robots to the rescue
“The introduction of our robotic pipe cutter has drastically improved our service capabilities. One prime example is a recent project for Costco, where the cast-iron sewer pipe was completely deteriorated, cracked, and damaged at almost every joint along a 90-foot stretch.”
With ten pipeline connections tied into the failing pipe, traditional plumbing repair methods would have required excavating ten holes inside the building, forcing the business to shut down and incur significant losses.
“We used our state-of-the-art robotic Dancutter to excavate an entry point outside the building, installed a liner through the 90-foot sewer line, and performed all necessary cutouts overnight.”
The Clean Out team worked from 7 PM through 8 AM the next day, allowing the business to open without interruption. This technology not only saved Costco time and money but also prevented the hassle of extensive internal excavation and follow up repairs.
The Dancutter difference
“Originally, we purchased an IMS robotic cutter during our training for Perma Liner in Anaheim, CA. However, the machine broke during the training class, and it took about a month and a half for IMS to fix it. After getting it back, I used it two more times before it broke again.
Frustrated but determined, I flew out to Florida to train on our Dancutter. This turned out to be the best decision I have ever made as a business owner.
Our Dancutter SuperFlex gets the job done faster, and more efficiently. Not only that, but the equipment is a lot more presentable, and the quality is second to none.”
Looking ahead 
Clean Out Plumbing & Rooter is facing an exciting future filled with innovation and excellence. Our dedication to using the latest technology has already made us stand out in the industry.
According to CEO Marco Jove Jr, “We’re eager to expand our services even more with new tools and methods that make our work faster and better. One of the most exciting parts of our future is the chance to use modern technology that could completely change how we do plumbing and rooter services.
We’re also committed to building strong, long-lasting relationships with our customers. Whether it’s a small fix or a big project, we want every interaction to be personal and top-notch. Our goal is to always make sure our customers are satisfied and trust us completely.”
Did the gamble pay off?
It’s hard for Marco to remember back to when he had only $100 to his name. That was a breakout moment in his life, one that took courage and perseverance.
Thankfully, the days of worrying if he can pay the phone bill are over. With the help of his wife and his top-notch team, Clean Out Plumbing and Rooter is thrilled to be bringing on more skilled professionals who share a passion for doing outstanding work.
The gamble, by all means, paid off. But the outcome could have been much different if not for Marco Jove Jr’s drive to succeed. Today, he has created a way to better serve his community’s plumbing repair needs and he’s developed a team of dedicated plumbing pros.
Clean Out Plumbing & Rooter has a bright future ahead. Focusing on innovation, providing excellent service, and ensuring customers are happy for years to come, will allow them to help even more people in Orange and Los Angeles Counties while maintaining their superior standards.
