DescriptionEstablished, highly-rated residential plumbing service company in the heart of Silicon Valley. Strong margins, loyal repeat customers, and clear room to grow.
This is a well-respected, independently owned plumbing service business operating throughout Santa Clara County for over five years. The company has built its reputation on five-star service, a 100% money-back guarantee (invoked only once in the company’s history), fast response times, and meticulous, clean workmanship. The result: a steady stream of repeat and referral business that continues to come in even after the owners deliberately scaled back paid advertising.
The work is approximately 90% residential service and repair — leaks, clogs, water heaters/tankless, repipes, and sewer work — the high-frequency, recession-resistant “bread and butter” of the trade. The company is also equipped for higher-ticket jobs most one-truck competitors can’t touch: trenchless pipe bursting, hydro-jetting, and commercial-grade ProPress/MegaPress piping. All work is permitted and performed under an active California C-36 contractor’s license.
Why this business stands out:
• Exceptional profitability. 2025 gross margin of roughly 83% and seller’s discretionary earnings of about
$259,000 (single-owner basis) on $814,000 of revenue.
• Lean, low-overhead model. No costly commercial lease; the operation runs on a small, cross-trained team
and modern field-management software (dispatching, invoicing, and inventory).
• Reputation as a moat. Years of five-star Google and Yelp reviews and an established referral network of
contractors and property managers drive low-cost, repeat lead flow.
• Clear, fundable upside. Revenue was intentionally right-sized as the owners reduced staff and ad spend;
margins expanded sharply in the process, and 2026 is rebounding (tracking roughly $90,000/month, well
above 2025’s pace). A hands-on owner can reactivate advertising, raise a price book that hasn’t been
updated in 2–3 years, launch the long-planned membership program, and restore after-hours service to
grow from here.
Ideal buyer: A licensed plumber or an existing trade/home-services company seeking an established,
profitable, turnkey platform in one of the country’s strongest service markets. A California C-36 license (held by the buyer or a qualifying employee) is required to operate.
