Keep Your Plumbing Business Flowing

The plumbing industry in the United States generates approximately $130 billion in annual revenue, serving residential, commercial, and industrial clients with essential water supply, drainage, and gas fitting services. With aging infrastructure across the country — much of it built 40 to 60 years ago — the demand for plumbing services has never been higher. New construction, bathroom and kitchen remodels, water heater replacements, and emergency repairs keep plumbing contractors busy year-round. Modern plumbing has become increasingly technology-driven, requiring investment in equipment that would have been unimaginable a generation ago. Video camera inspection systems, hydro-jetting machines, trenchless pipe rehabilitation equipment, and leak detection technology represent significant capital expenditures but dramatically improve diagnostic capabilities and service efficiency. A quality camera inspection system alone can cost $10,000 to $30,000, while a hydro-jetter runs $15,000 to $60,000. Service vehicles are another major investment. A properly equipped plumbing van with pipe racks, compartmentalized storage, a water heater dolly, and a full complement of tools can cost $50,000 to $90,000. As your business grows, adding vehicles and crew members requires predictable capital access.
