Cass
Plumbing and Heating, Inc. was founded in 1948 by Shelton W. Cass a
native of Oklahoma who moved to San Diego in 1927 at the age of 21.
He embarked on his career as an assistant at Merkeley Mortuary.
After several years he transferred to Harold Steven’s Plumbing
where he worked as a bookkeeper and worked his way up to General
Manager. Shelton then began studying at home in his time off for his
Master Plumber’s License.
After
gaining his Master Plumber’s license Shelton Cass opened Cass
Plumbing & Heating, Inc. During this time Shelton also started a
family with his wife Lucille Cass and they had two children. The
youngest, Scott Cass, was to take over Cass Plumbing.
Scott
Cass began working at Cass Plumbing, after school and during the
summer, as a shop boy in 1971. Scott graduated High School and
entered SDSU as a Business major and began splitting his time
between the field and the office doing the bookkeeping. In 1978
Scott graduated from San Diego State University with a Bachelor of
Science degree in Business. In 1980 Scott attended the ROP
Apprenticeship program, which he completed in 1983 and attained his
journeyman plumber’s card.
In
1985 Shelton Cass passed away and Scott Cass began managing Cass
Plumbing & Heating, Inc. full-time. Scott also began teaching
ROP classes, two-nights a week until retiring, 15 years later, in
June of 2000.

including Shelton Cass, and has now grown to a full-service plumbing
