TVG Plumbing & Inspections, led by Coeur d’Alene native Bent Damschen, is more than just a plumbing service—it's a business built on trust, fairness, and community support. After running a successful home inspection company since 2013, Bent shifted his focus to plumbing full-time in 2024. His deep local knowledge and commitment to honest service have made TVG a go-to choice for homeowners looking for reliable and fairly priced plumbing solutions.

What truly sets TVG Plumbing & Inspections apart is its dedication to giving back. Every quarter, Bent donates and installs a free water heater for a veteran or their family, with plans to expand the initiative to a monthly giveaway. With a strong emphasis on quality work, fair pricing, and community impact, TVG Plumbing & Inspections is making a lasting difference in North Idaho—one home at a time.
