Man enjoys plumbing's detective work

WATAUGA - Last year, plumber Scott Ganske helped a woman get hot water to her kitchen sink for the first time in 15 years.

"She didn't believe I could do it," Ganske said.

Why would she? Ganske was the latest in a line of plumbers who told her that they couldn't fix that darned thing. Ganske thought about it, rerouted the water line and in 20 minutes the task was done.

"That's just my job," he said, "But it was kind of cool, like a pat on the back."

Ganske, 34, has worked as a plumber since he was 14. After high school, he became a full-time plumber for his father while he accumulated hours of experience.

In 2003, he passed the state exam to receive his master's license and took over his grandfather's business. He likes his job because he's not stuck in an office every day, he said.

"I don't like being in the same place," he said.

As the owner of Ganske & Sons Plumbing in Watauga, Ganske works on everything from private homes to the National Guard Armory in Fort Worth. While he works on sewers and gas and water lines and equipment, his main goal is to protect the water supply from contamination, he said.

"I've always heard that we have to protect the health of the community," he said.

A lot of protecting the water supply has to do with eliminating stagnant water, which typically results from clogged drains and can lead to mosquitoes and waterborne diseases such as dysentery. Ganske has removed everything from writing pens to frogs from drains and sewer mains.

He also must prevent contaminated water from seeping back into the water system. Something as innocent as a sprinkler head can allow pesticides and other unwanted chemicals to retreat into water lines, he said.

School teacher Viola Smith, 76, of Fort Worth has known Ganske since he was in high school. She owns 10 rental homes for which he does all the plumbing.

"He's punctual, neat and very considerate," she said. "He even takes his shoes off before coming inside my house."

Ganske likens his job to being a detective: finding and fixing problems.

"It's challenging," he said. "But I like solving problems other plumbers couldn't."
