About Gold Seal · est. 1967
Four generations. One name.
A family-owned plumbing company, founded by the Dixons in 1967 and still run by them, serving Spokane and North Idaho from one shop in Spokane Valley.
Our story
Started by the Dixons in 1967.
Robert E. Dixon, Sr. and Richard L. Dixon founded Gold Seal Mechanical, Inc. in 1967 as a plumbing company devoted to taking care of its clients. Richard L. Dixon still leads it as president and ceo.
Four generations on, Bob Sr.’s great-grandsons are licensed journeyman plumbers here. He would have been proud of that, and just as proud of the plumbers, trainees and office staff who carry the name today.
We never set out to be big. By our own measure, Gold Seal is now:
- The largest open plumbing shop in Eastern Washington.
- The largest service plumbing operation between Seattle and Minneapolis.
- The largest company training budget for trade skills in Washington State.
The first two just happened. The training budget was the one we planned for. It is still on the trucks: Quality plumbing since 1967.

Sewer and lining
A new sewer, without the trench.
Gold Seal is the region’s exclusive provider of the LightRay UV cured-in-place lining system: a new seamless pipe cured inside the old one with UV light, often in a single day. Our own sewer and lining crew also bursts in new pipe and, when nothing else will work, digs with our own excavator.
