T.D.Epps , the founder of Epps Plumbing and Heating, grew up in Ardmore and attended Lower Merion High School.  After serving with the Marines in WWII, he took a watchmaker’s course, drove a truck for Lee Tire, and worked for Sayer Golf Clubs making golf clubs before starting his plumbing career at John L. Gray Plumbing in Bryn Mawr, PA.  It was after the company was bought out by Galligan Brothers that Ted went to apprentice school, attaining Journeyman’s status and eventually a Master Plumber License in 1958.

T.D. Epps, Plumbing & Heating was started in 1964.  Early advertising included direct mail and ads in The Suburban and Wayne Times.  The company offered 24 hour emergency service and the business grew.  Ted rented a garage on East Conestoga Avenue in Strafford before buying the current shop location at 132-A Plant Avenue in 1973.

Alan Epps graduated from Radnor High School and went directly into the family business, enrolled in trade school and earned his Master Plumbers License in 1984.  Alan bought the business from his father and Epps Plumbing and Heating, Inc. was established in 1995.
