About PlumbingPro
Plumbing is an essential service. Homes, businesses, and facilities need reliable plumbing every day, in good economic times and challenging ones.
PlumbingPro gives business leaders, executives, and investors the opportunity to build, lead, and grow a professional plumbing company as the CEO. Trained, licensed technicians handle the technical work while you focus on leading the business, supported by proven systems, modern technology, strong customer service, and ongoing support.
The U.S. plumbing market is more than $100 billion and growing about 9% annually, creating a substantial opportunity. PlumbingPro’s exclusive territories are designed around markets large enough to support meaningful growth, with minimum territories covering approximately 500,000 people.
For an owner focused on building a company rather than buying a job, the goal is bigger than generating income. It’s to create and grow a professionally run business with recurring demand, a strong local reputation backed by a national brand, and the potential to become a valuable long-term asset.

Why Choose PlumbingPro?
PlumbingPro is built around a service that people and businesses can’t put off. That essential demand can create a strong foundation for a well-run local company.
We provide established business systems, marketing support, recruiting resources, technology, training, and ongoing coaching. These tools help you build a professional company while you focus on leadership, customers, employees, financial performance, and growth. Our vendors provide significant discounts on materials and equipment, lowering your costs and improving your profitability.
PlumbingPro’s call center answers your calls, provides basic information to prospective customers, collects their contact information, and schedules estimates around your sales team’s availability. You’ll never miss a phone call or an opportunity to meet with a potential customer.
Our goal is to give business leaders the systems and support they need to build a professional plumbing company without having to reinvent every part of the business. The goal is a company that can keep growing, build a strong reputation, and become a valuable asset when you’re ready to pursue an exit.

Training & Support
PlumbingPro training is designed to teach you how to run the business, not how to become a plumber. You’ll learn the key areas that drive a successful service company, including operations, recruiting, marketing, customer service, financial management, technology, and team leadership.
Training is supported by practical guidance, proven processes, and ongoing coaching as you build your local operation. You’ll learn how to recruit and manage technicians, set performance expectations, monitor the numbers, build customer relationships, and create a consistent customer experience.
You’ll also have access to marketing resources, technology, vendor relationships, and operating tools that can shorten the learning curve of starting a business.
The Executive Model is built for you to lead the company while qualified technicians and managers handle the specialized field work. That lets you focus on the areas where business leaders can create the most value: strategy, people, growth, financial performance, and building a team that can run the company effectively.
History
PlumbingPro was built to combine the essential plumbing business with the systems and support of franchising to give business leaders a better way to build a professional local company backed by a national brand.
The plumbing industry is highly fragmented, with thousands of independent operators. Many smaller businesses don't have the systems, technology, marketing, or resources needed to grow efficiently. PlumbingPro brings these business disciplines together under one brand. Trained licensed technicians handle the technical work while the owner focuses on people, customers, financial performance, marketing, and growth as the CEO.
For an executive, business leader, or investor, that means starting with a proven business structure and support system instead of building everything from the ground up. The goal is to build a professional company that can grow, develop a strong local reputation, and create lasting value for its owner.
Ideal Candidate
PlumbingPro is designed for people who know how to lead, manage, hire, sell, solve problems, and grow a business. You should also enjoy building teams and creating a strong company culture.
You may have spent your career leading people, managing budgets, developing customers, improving operations, or growing organizations. You may also be an investor looking for a business where strong management and a capable team can create long-term value. What matters most is your ability to set direction, make good decisions, recruit and develop people, and understand the numbers. We’re looking for business leaders who can build local B2B and B2C relationships and use data to improve profitability. You don't need experience in the trades.
Successful owners will be comfortable working on the business, not simply in it. They understand that a great company is built through consistent execution, customer relationships, employee development, and attention to financial performance.
If you want to build something you can eventually step back from and potentially sell, PlumbingPro gives you a structure and support system to pursue that goal.
