A Legacy Built on Trust & Craftsmanship
For almost 70 years, Babe's Plumbing has been Southwest Florida's most trusted name in plumbing, fire sprinklers, electrical, and beyond — still family owned and operated today.
Founded by Babe Dalton in 1957
Babe's Plumbing, Inc. is a professional plumbing and fire sprinkler contractor, founded by M.M. "Babe" Dalton in 1957. What started as a single plumber with a commitment to doing the job right has grown into one of Southwest Florida's most respected multi-trade contractors.
"Family Owned & Operated"
Now in its third generation, Babe's Plumbing remains a family business at its core, carrying forward the tradition of quality craftsmanship and customer-first service across all divisions — plumbing, fire sprinklers, electrical, and contract work.
