This page is for the buyers of commercial service plumbing, backflow testing and underground repair within an hour's drive of downtown Spokane, on both sides of the state line.
The groups follow what you told Matt on your first call, multi-site stores, franchises, restaurants, municipalities and facility managers, plus the builders, schools and hospitals around them.
Every row carries its drive time from downtown Spokane. Other plumbing, mechanical and backflow firms are left off.
Firms that run other owners' buildings call a plumber for every tenant leak, blocked line and yearly backflow test, so one manager brings work across many buildings.
| Firm | Based in | Drive | Why they fit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Goodale & Barbieri Company | Downtown Spokane | under 5 min | Develops and manages retail, office and medical buildings across the Inland Northwest, including some of downtown's best known |

| Leavitt Capital Companies | Pinecroft Business Park, Spokane Valley | 18 min | Manages warehouse, industrial and office parks in Spokane Valley, including Pinecroft and Central Business Park |
Builders bring in plumbing and underground crews on new buildings and remodels, and the ones on school and hospital work need subs who show up on schedule.
| Builder | Based in | Drive | Why they fit |

| Leone & Keeble | Just north of downtown Spokane | 5 min | Commercial GC and construction manager whose work includes schools, churches and medical buildings |

Washington law has every public water system run a cross-connection control program, with commercial backflow assemblies tested every year. Cities and counties also keep their own buildings to maintain.
