Master & journeyman plumbers
The plumbers on each route
Each Bluegate plumber is state-licensed, background-checked and in uniform, and each one carries a trade specialism, from gas lines and slab leaks to tankless heaters and backflow testing.
Curtis Vance
Founder
Founder & master plumber
Curtis apprenticed in custom residential rough-in and municipal mechanical work before earning his Master Plumber and Gas Fitter licences. Twenty-one years on, he still checks every repipe plan, gas load calculation and permit inspection that leaves the shop, and Bluegate runs on his flat-rate, code-first approach.

Renata Alvarez
Drains & sewer
Drain & sewer camera lead
Renata runs the underground side of the work: fibre-optic camera inspections, depth locating, root cutting and acoustic slab-leak pinpointing. Ten years of licensed service mean homeowners and buyers get a recorded inspection and an accurate mark on the ground instead of an exploratory trench.
