Plumbing and restoration go hand in hand. Owners and professionals with plumbing experience already deal with many of the same issues restoration companies handle every day, including burst pipes, sink and toilet overflow, and flooding caused by plumbing failures.

That overlap is one of the biggest reasons converting a plumbing business into a restoration franchise makes sense. It also comes at a strong time to invest, since the restoration franchise industry is currently valued at $210 billion and growing.

Why the Conversion Works

Converting a plumbing company into a restoration franchise is a smooth transition because of how closely the two industries overlap, and it’s a profitable one too. Handling both the plumbing repair and the restoration cleanup on the same job means capturing more of the total revenue from each project, while also increasing the odds of customer referrals.

A Growing Trend Among Contractors

More non-restoration contractors are making this move every year, including plumbing professionals and carpet cleaning companies joining the industry.
