Plumbing companies are among the most defensible small businesses in the US economy: everyone needs plumbing, emergencies create urgent demand, and skilled plumbers are in perpetual short supply. E-2 investors who hold master plumber licenses or who partner with licensed master plumbers frequently establish plumbing businesses as their US investment vehicle. Mexican, Dominican, and Brazilian E-2 investors operate residential and commercial plumbing companies in New York, Miami, Houston, Los Angeles, and every major metro. The combination of reliable demand and skilled labor shortage gives established plumbing businesses pricing power that lenders find attractive.
Plumbing revenue is documented through service tickets, invoice billing software (ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro), and credit card processing statements. Many plumbing companies also have recurring revenue from maintenance agreements — water heater service contracts, annual backflow testing, or maintenance plan memberships — that further stabilize revenue for underwriting purposes.
