Empire Plumbing LLC.

Most of Empire Plumbing's work runs through general contractors rather than straight to homeowners. Between 2024 and 2025 it filed prevailing-wage public works for SNAP, usually as a subcontractor, so it knows the paperwork that comes with agency jobs. Its building types span residential, commercial and public work. The state lists Cory Gallagher and Jonathan Vaughn as principals since 2021, the year the business was established. The fit is service and repair: a sewer line cleaning on an older house, a repair handled by a small crew, or a public agency job that needs prevailing-wage compliance. It's less of a match for large commercial new construction, and it runs on referrals and trade work rather than online booking. Homeowners in Nine Mile Falls, Mead or north Spokane who want a small shop doing the work directly are the natural customers. Plumbing demand in Spokane bunches up around the weather. The first hard freeze brings a rush of frozen and split lines, and spring thaw brings backed-up sewer laterals as roots and ground movement show up. Small crews get booked solid in those stretches. Sewer cleaning or a camera look on an older line is easier to schedule in late summer or early fall, before the cold sets in and emergencies take over the calendar.
