About Us
 
Van’s was founded in 1954 by owner / plumber Philip Vandenberg as a plumbing business. He was a very successful business man in the community, and years later decided he needed to expand the business to include heating and cooling.

In 1962 he asked John VandenBergh and Robert Mesnard to become his partners. Thus Van’s became Van’s Plumbing & Heating, Inc. They provided the community with excellent service in both plumbing & heating for many years to come. Then Robert, Philip’s son was brought into the business, learning the skills of a mechanical contractor and the running of the business from his dad.

From 1971 to 1991 Robert helps his dad run the family business, doing residential and commercial plumbing and heating. The Vandenbergs are well known and respected in the community for doing excellent work and providing many jobs. Robert completely takes over the running of Van’s Plumbing & Heating, Inc. in 1991 by buying out all the partners. In March of 1996 Philip Vandenberg passes away, leaving behind quite a legacy.

In 1996 with no one to pass the family business down to, Robert decides to sell it to one of the employees Darrin Caudill Sr. In 1997 Darrin Caudill becomes president of Van’s Plumbing & Heating, Inc. Today Darrin still runs Van’s with the standards set by the Vandenberg family, and serves the community in commercial and Industrial service.
