Home → About Us
Pirates Plumbing has served Pinellas, Pasco, and Hillsborough counties since 2007. We’re not a call center or a franchise — we’re Terry, Margaret, and a crew of skilled local plumbers who show up on time and treat your home like it’s our own.
Pirates Plumbing started the way most good things do — with a person who knew their trade, cared about doing it right, and decided to build something of their own.
Terry Niezgoda spent years working for other people before he decided it was time. With a Florida plumbing contractor license earned the hard way and a commitment to serving his community, he founded Pirates Plumbing right here in Palm Harbor.
Today, Terry and Margaret run the business together — Terry in the field, Margaret keeping everything running behind the scenes. Their team of licensed technicians — Dylan, James, Todd, and Justin — carries that same standard to every job, whether it’s a leaky faucet in Clearwater or a full water heater replacement in Safety Harbor.
What makes us different from the other plumbers you’ve called? We answer the phone. We show up on time. We explain what we’re doing and why. And we don’t charge you for work you don’t need.
That’s it. No gimmicks, no upsells, no 1-800 numbers. Just honest plumbing from people who live and work right here in Tampa Bay.
