Ewan Khan
Manager and owner of Idora Plumbing
Ewan Khan started Idora Plumbing in 2005 and owns it. The plumbing jobs he knows best are drain clearing, water heater replacement and leaking supply lines, and much of his time is spent in older Youngstown houses, where the pipes and shutoff valves rarely match what a newer home would have. A basement may hold galvanized steel next to copper next to a later plastic repair, with a main shutoff that has not been turned in years, and the work has to account for all of it.
The work itself is the everyday plumbing of a house or a small shop: slow and clogged drains, leaks, toilets and faucets, water heaters, sump pumps and sewer lines checked with a camera. In a building that has been added to over the decades, a repair often means joining new pipe to old of a different material, or replacing a shutoff valve that no longer closes before anything else can be done.
Before I start, I walk the job and give you the estimate in writing, with what each part of it covers. Drop cloths go down first, and I sweep up before I leave. If a repair turns up something unexpected, I call you first and wait for your answer before going further.

A Plumbing Company for Youngstown Houses and Shops
Idora Plumbing is a plumbing business serving Youngstown and the communities beside it: Boardman, Austintown and Struthers. The buildings are a mix of single-family houses, rental units, duplexes and small shops, and many of them have been plumbed and re-plumbed several times over their lives. That history shapes the work. A drain that runs slow in a duplex may share a main line with the unit next door; a water heater in a fieldstone basement may sit on a floor that slopes toward a drain installed decades before it.
The work falls into five lines, with help in emergencies such as a burst pipe or a basement sewer backup:
- Drain Cleaning: kitchen and bath lines, floor drains, main lines
- Water Heaters: pilots, elements, leaks, venting, replacements
- Pipe Repair: leak detection, spot repairs, repiping
- Sewer Lines: laterals, cleanouts, sump pumps, backwater valves
- Fixtures: toilets, faucets, disposals, shower valves
- Emergency Plumbing: shutoffs, burst pipes, sewer backups
Fixture Work in Finished Rooms
Much of the work happens in kitchens and bathrooms people use every day, around counters, tile and cabinets that have to come through the job unmarked, which is why the drop cloths and the sweeping matter as much as the repair itself.
