Howdy folks! Big Earl here. If you've made it to this website, it means one of three things:

  1. You need a trough installed (GREAT decision)
  2. Someone told you about "that crazy trough guy" (I prefer "trough enthusiast")
  3. You're my ex-wife Diane checking up on me (Hi Diane. I'm doing FINE.)

Whatever brought you here, WELCOME. Pull up a chair. Actually, don't -- you won't need to sit down for what I'm about to show you. Sitting is for toilet people. At Big Earl's, we STAND.


🔥 WHAT'S NEW WITH EARL 🔥

📣 MARCH 2003 UPDATE: Just finished installing a 20-FOOT custom trough at the new Dayton Rec Center. That's my longest one yet, folks. The mayor was there. He shook my hand. He didn't wash it first, which I respect. That's a trough man's handshake.
🏆 AWARD ALERT: Big Earl's Plumbing was voted "Best Specialty Plumbing" by the Dayton Penny Saver for the THIRD year running! Take THAT, Regular Steve's Regular Plumbing!
📰 IN THE NEWS: Earl was quoted in the Dayton Daily saying "Troughs bring people together. Literally. Side by side." The article was in the Opinion section, but Earl considers it front page news.

- Big Earl, said while staring into the distance (2001)

🗺 COME VISIT!

Big Earl's Plumbing & Porcelain Emporium is located at 1847 Industrial Blvd, Unit C in beautiful Dayton, Ohio. We're right behind the Arby's. If you hit the railroad tracks, you've gone too far. If you smell roast beef, you're close.

Hours:
Monday-Friday: 7AM - 5PM (or whenever Earl's truck is in the lot)
Saturday: 8AM - 2PM ("Earl's Half Day")
Sunday: Closed (Earl's at church, then Applebee's, then napping)

Walk-ins welcome! The door sticks a little. Just give it a good push. If it's locked, check the Arby's. Earl might be on his lunch break.
