RAIN SURGEON FOUR DECADES OF PLUMBING INNOVATION IN HAWAII In 1983, Steve Allen, Owner of Allen’s Plumbing, took a leap of faith that would eventually shape one of Hawaii’s most respected plumbing companies. Before that, he started The Drain Surgeon in 1982 as a way to gain traction in the industry while waiting for the residency requirement needed to obtain his contractor’s license. “I opened up the Drain Surgeon because you had to have a year’s residency before you could get a contractor’s license,” Allen explains.“Once I met that requirement, I took the test, got licensed, and Allen’s Plumbing was formed as a DBA of The Drain Surgeon.” 2 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE VOLUME 12, ISSUE 10
