The Detail
Our Story
TDS Trenchless is the trenchless-repair division of The Drain Surgeon, a family-owned Augusta plumbing company. We're upfront about that relationship rather than presenting TDS Trenchless as an unrelated, brand-new company — it's a cleaner version of a claim The Drain Surgeon has made publicly for years. The Drain Surgeon has served the Augusta area since 2005 (21 years of experience), backed by 8 years of radio advertising across a 9-station network and heavy local brand recognition. TDS Trenchless began offering trenchless-specific services in 2011.
The Owner
Meet Kevin Coleman, Owner
Kevin has been plumbing for 32 years. He got his start working for his brother's plumbing company, earned his journeyman license in 2003, and his master plumbing license in 2005. After 11 years working for others, he decided to go out on his own. His favorite part of the job is helping customers — and he's built TDS Trenchless and The Drain Surgeon to run like a family, with several employees who've stuck around for over 13 years. As Kevin puts it, a lot of companies are just out to get rich; he's in it to grow his employees' careers too.

The Detail
Why We're Different
Most local competitor About pages read the same: generic "family owned, community focused" copy with nothing specific behind it. We'd rather be specific — real numbers (21 years, 15 years trenchless-specific, 8 years of radio advertising across a 9-station network), an honest explanation of how TDS Trenchless relates to The Drain Surgeon, and a founder who's actually done the plumbing work himself for over three decades.
