A Gallery of Cleaners: Contractors Out in the Field

Linda Hudek, owner of LH Plumbing Services in Fairfield, Ohio, featured in the July 2018 issue, cleans a sewer line at a commercial property.

With the two profiles Cleaner magazine features each month, we capture the work that contractors do through both words and pictures.

When photographers accompany contractors on job sites, far more photos are taken than are able to fit on the pages of the magazine. Earlier this year, we put together a gallery of “bonus” photos featuring the companies that had been profiled in the first half of 2018. Check out this new gallery of bonus photos featuring the companies that have been profiled in recent months.
