WQBQ Talk Track: HL Plumbing Brings Full-Service Plumbing Help to Lake County Homes and Businesses
June 30, 2026The Chamber, The “Q,” and You on WQBQ is a free on-air opportunity for Chamber members to share insights, highlight their services, and connect directly with the community.
When plumbing works, most people do not think much about it. When it does not, it quickly becomes the only thing anyone can think about.
That is where HL Plumbing comes in.
During a recent episode of The Chamber, The “Q,” and You on WQBQ, Brian Hurst of HL Plumbing joined the show to talk about the Eustis-based plumbing company, the work they do across Lake County and Central Florida, and what it means to build a small business rooted in service, experience, and reliability.
HL Plumbing is a newer business, but not a new team. Brian shared that he and his business partner, Brandon Lepper, stepped out on their own after years of working with larger plumbing companies. Now, they are bringing that experience into a company of their own.
“We’re a small business plumbing business right here in Lake County,” Brian said during the interview. “Brandon and I have stepped out on our own, and we’re going to see what we can do here for you folks.”
Based in Eustis, HL Plumbing serves customers throughout the area and is built to handle a wide range of plumbing needs. Brian explained that the team works on residential service, new construction, remodels, commercial plumbing, service calls, light industrial jobs, and septic-related systems.
In other words, this is not just a company for one type of plumbing problem.
HL Plumbing can help with the smaller everyday issues, like a garbage disposal replacement, while also taking on larger projects involving remodels, repipes, water systems, commercial work, and construction plumbing. Brian made it clear that the company does not want customers wondering whether their project is too small to call about.
“For us, there’s no job too small,” he said. “We do it all. We’re not afraid to help out anybody.”
That willingness to help is a big part of the company’s identity. On the show, Brian talked about the transition from working with larger companies to building something more personal. For many small businesses, that shift comes with a renewed focus on communication, honesty, and customer service.
The conversation also gave listeners a look at just how much skill and planning goes into plumbing work before anyone ever turns on a faucet.
Brian walked through the early stages of construction plumbing, including underground sanitary lines, water lines, rough-in work, and the careful measurements that determine where plumbing needs to be placed before a slab is poured. He also explained how septic systems, drain fields, pump systems, and natural flow can affect the way plumbing is designed for a home or property.
It was a reminder that plumbing is not just repair work. It is planning, problem-solving, and experience that often happens behind the walls, under the slab, or below the ground.
The discussion also touched on maintenance, including water heaters. Brian recommended flushing a water heater at least once a year and explained how sediment can build up over time. For homeowners, that kind of practical guidance can make a big difference in understanding when to call a professional, what to watch for, and how regular maintenance can help avoid bigger problems later.
HL Plumbing also has a team supporting the work behind the scenes. During the interview, Brian mentioned Christy, who helps answer calls and connect customers with the company. That kind of office support matters in a field where people often call because something is leaking, backed up, overflowing, or simply not working the way it should.
From emergency plumbing needs to remodels, commercial projects, repipes, water heaters, drain and sewer work, pump systems, gas lines, and everyday repairs, HL Plumbing is working to become a trusted local resource for homeowners and businesses alike.
For Brian, the goal is straightforward: help people, do the work well, and build the business one customer at a time.
