About the Owner

Meet Ron Degner

Ron Degner began working for small, independently owned plumbing companies right out of high school in 1994. He attended a four-year trade school during his plumbing apprentice period, and after completing the apprenticeship, he passed the City of Cincinnati Journeyman exam.

As a Journeyman plumber, Ron continued working with small plumbing companies. In 2006 he joined a national plumbing chain as a field manager. After one year on the job, he was promoted to general manager of a branch, a role he held for seven years before purchasing a national franchise location in 2015.

In 2015 Ron started a new phase in his career when he bought Zest Plumbing and Drain. The company remains dedicated to offering our customers top-notch service at reasonable prices.

With Ron’s experience working for both independent and national chain plumbing companies, he is able to apply the best of both worlds to Zest Plumbing and Drain – friendliness and personal attention of a family-run business paired with the organization and experience of a larger company.
