Fred Smith Plumbing & Heating was surprised (and proud) to receive a call out on 104.3 Radio during the height of the workday on May 22! Veteran DJ Ken Dashow spun the hit song, “Down Under”, by the band Men at Work, then announced: “I want to send that out to Fred Smith Plumbing & Heating. You guys are men at work all the time.”

“There’s nothing weirder than being on the air, and having a leak at home,” he said on the air. “And having a plumber you can rely on going, ‘Leak’s good, fixed, done.’ Thank you, guys – working hard.”

Fred Smith Plumbing & Heating is pleased to serve Q104.3’s Ken Dashow, as well as his loyal listeners and all other hard-working New Yorkers!
