Park's Plumbing and Sewer - History and Background
We were founded by Jeff Parks who still actively runs the company as president. He is a master plumber and
a college graduate from Elmhurst College. He has also furthered his activities into successfully completing
his second degree black belt in Kenpo Karate as well as becoming a licensed boat captain by the United States
Coast Guard. Jeff's father, Joe Poczatek, is a graduate mechanical engineer, a licensed plumber, and was an
engineering and plumbing inspector in Skokie and in Aurora. He now serves as a company director and technical
adviser.
Before entering the plumbing field Joe was the Senior Scientific Adviser for GATX (General American
Transportation Corp.) While there he headed up teams that built nuclear ballistic missiles and that
worked with NASA.
Since our founding in 1981, our company's focus on quality work and reliable service has enabled us
to become the dominant flood control and plumbing company in the region.
Over the years, Parks Plumbing and Sewer, Inc. has grown substantially. We now employ over 30 people
as licensed plumbers, inspectors of Cross-Connection-Control Devices, pipe fitters and sewer men.
Most of these employees are long-term and full-time personnel. The management personnel are largely
college graduates. Together with the rest of the office staff, we have accrued over 100 years of
experience in our field. Of this company team, we are justly very proud.
