Welcome to PU – Ridgeway’s Plumbing University – where many of Ridgeway employees come regularly to “Get Some Class”. We offer the tools, training, and assistance that encourage success. Our PU training program is designed to improve our plumbing practices and share industry information, capabilities, and resources.

Attendance at PU sessions is encouraged. Our modern, well-appointed classroom is host to a myriad of training programs, each specially designed to give our people the tools as well as the training and support they need in order to thrive in a challenging, fun, and growing industry.
