Women in the Mechanical Trades

Women in the mechanical trades are not a marketing season at Eagle Pipe — the company is 100% woman-owned under Founder & CEO Lori Tschohl, and that ownership shapes how we hire, train, and serve Kitsap homeowners.

Ownership is accountability

Woman-owned is a legal and cultural fact here, not a sticker. Decisions about safety, pricing clarity, and community presence run through that leadership.

Homes welcome skilled pros

Many homeowners care about respect, cleanliness, and clear talk — traits we train across the whole team, regardless of gender.

Pathways into the trades

Apprenticeship and skills growth matter if the peninsula wants a durable workforce. We invest in learning, not gatekeeping nostalgia.

What customers should expect

Competence and licenses first. Representation is part of who we are; it never replaces EAGLEPM867LK / EAGLEPH757C8 standards.

What goes wrong when homeowners wait

Token campaigns without hiring and training pathways ring hollow. Customers who dismiss skilled women techs miss out on qualified help.

Local proof and how Eagle Pipe approaches it

Eagle Pipe’s EEAT includes lived ownership structure — verify woman-owned status and licenses rather than taking any contractor’s word alone.
