How We Value Your Plumbing Business
Formal valuations for eligible businesses are completed by our in-house CPA and legal counsel team. Plumbing businesses are valued using Seller’s Discretionary Earnings (SDE) for smaller firms and Adjusted EBITDA for larger ones.
Smaller companies typically sell for 2x to 3x SDE, while larger, well-structured businesses can reach 6x to 11x EBITDA with PE-backed buyers. Key value drivers include recurring service contracts, strong renewal rates, residential-heavy work mix, and reduced owner dependency.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most plumbing business sales take 6–12 months, depending on company size, financial documentation, buyer demand, and deal complexity.
Yes. PE-backed home services platforms are actively acquiring plumbing companies, especially businesses with recurring maintenance revenue, strong technician teams, and scalable operations.
For smaller owner-operated businesses, a broker may be sufficient. Larger or multi-location plumbing companies typically benefit from M&A advisory support focused on valuation, deal structure, and institutional buyers.
Buyers often require a minimum level of working capital at closing, including cash flow support, inventory, and fleet readiness. Poor preparation can reduce final proceeds during negotiations.
Rollover equity varies by buyer and deal size, but PE-backed plumbing acquisitions commonly require owners to roll 10%–40% of proceeds into the new platform. Larger, faster-growing companies often see higher rollover requests tied to future upside and second-exit potential.
