Blessing's Plumbing was first started in 1955 as "B & Z Plumbing" by my father, Allen Blessing. He managed his plumbing business for 23 years, until his untimely death in 1978. Our family originated from Germany in the early 1800's, settling in Oklahoma and eventually moving west to Idaho.

As a young boy, I could never imagine myself working in the plumbing field.  As I was getting ready to graduate in 1972, I was called upon by my country to serve in the military, so I enlisted in the Navy and served for four years. Upon leaving the Navy, I got out not knowing which direction to take, so I decided to venture into the trade I knew and grew up in.

I decided to stay in the Tidewater area of Virginia, and serve in my first plumbing company with "E. B. Sam's Plumbing Company," operating out of Norfolk, Virginia. I served in a apprenticeship program there until 1980, after which I began Government work. I stayed with the Government for approx. 12 years before starting my own plumbing business in 1992.

I started "Blessing's Plumbing" in 1992, in the Tidewater area of Virginia, with one truck. We have now grown into a ten-truck company. In 2005 we started building our new office-warehouse complex in Virginia Beach located on Jensen Dr. which was completed on September 11th, 2006. We decided to install geo-thermo heating and air, natural gas tankless water heater, and energy-saving thermo pane windows, applying our "green" plumbing knowledge to reduce operating costs and maintain a clean environment.

We have managed to give our employees a work culture and an environment to call their own. We could have not done this without the help of all our loyal customers, hard work, and dedicated employees.

We look forward to the future in serving our community plumbing needs in "The Greater Hampton Roads" and with hopes to being a "Blessing" to our present customers and future ones to come on board. We plan on carrying on "A Tradition in Plumbing" passed down by my father Allen Blessing.
