The September issue of Cleaner is out, featuring Daniels Plumbing. Owner Daniel Gallagher has run the successful business in Philadelphia for 17 years, but he also looks beyond his own interests and tries to give back toward the larger plumbing and drain cleaning industry. He currently sits on the state board for the Plumbing-Heating-Cooling Contractors Association. He has also held various positions in Philadelphia’s Master Plumbers Association, including a three-year term as president. That organization is re-opening its apprenticeship school, with a goal of attracting at-risk youth. “Our objective is to get these inner-city kids and put a tool in their hands instead of a gun,” Gallagher says. “These aren’t kids in a single-parent home — their grandmothers are raising them. I would like to help them. Too many people don’t want to give them a chance.”
