Z PLUMBERZ | Are Plumbing Franchises Profitable?

Plumbers are in Demand

No matter the economic circumstances, some things remain true in that pipes will burst, faucets will leak, and drains will clog, only confirming that plumbers will remain in high demand during these times. It’s important for homeowners to have a skilled local plumber they can trust in their time of need. That’s why, time and again, plumbing franchises have not only withstood, but also thrived in times of economic uncertainty.

According to IBIS World, for instance, the plumbing industry was only temporarily impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, mainly at the height of shutdowns. Almost immediately, however, the industry rebounded as a result of strong residential construction growth and a resurgence in commercial construction. As a result, it’s expected the $124 billion plumbing industry will continue to accelerate over the next five years.

However, there remains an alarming shortage of plumbers to meet this demand. According t…
