Plumbing Referrals Will Grow Your Restoration Company

Plumbing Referrals

Networking with plumbers is not as hard as you think. Call the right company and you’re speaking with the owner on your first attempt. Your referral fee has to be competitive so you need to understand what average market rate is and beat it. No one likes overpaying but how else do you expect to get your foot in the door? 

If your referral fee is competitive and you give a plumber a plumbing lead first you’re bound to get their attention. Give them the rough plumbing, fixtures and opportunity to upsell after you open up the walls and you’ll stand out. Most mitigation only companies sell the repair and the plumber loses all rough ins and upsells. Dont get discouraged when you get a small job and your paying a premium referral it’s only a matter of time before the whale hits.

A residential plumber with 4 vans on the road, doing 40-60 inspection a month will give you 5-10 jobs a month. With an average of 10k per ticket you’ll easily bring in an additional $500,000/year across mit and repairs.
