ABS means different things in different parts of the country, to different people, but since 1977 in Bolivar, MO, though, it has meant prompt service, quality materials, quality workmanship, and added value to your property.

Rev. Johnnie Hoover (dad) and wife Ella (mom) started ABS Plumbing & Electric out of their home in 1977. Mom came up with the name ABS. They wanted to Always provide Better Service to the community and customers they served.

Dad experienced some health problems about 1990. In 1993 was rushed to the hospital and found out he had had a heart attack. After which in 1994 had bypass surgery. In consideration of the company's future, he offered the company to Beckie Hoover Tegethoff, his third daughter, in the summer of 1993.
