About Us
Plumbing might be the best-kept secret in the home services industry. The industry is booming, with $110 billion1 in annual revenues, and the fact that plumbing is a need, not a want, for every homeowner makes plumbing entirely recession-resistant. For far too long, plumbing has been the butt of lame jokes (pun intended!) and stereotypes and overlooked by entrepreneurs who are interested in the home services space.
It might surprise you that plumbing is a high-margin, highly sophisticated business to own. It can also be incredibly rewarding, both personally and financially. There's something that bluefrog Plumbing + Drain franchise owners know that you don't.
If more entrepreneurs recognized that the plumbing industry is one of the most potentially lucrative, recession-resistant business opportunities out there, the rest of the home services industries wouldn't stand a chance. The fact that the plumbing system is one of the largest expenses in a home and every American homeowner relies on their plumbing system working properly should be a good indicator that owning a plumbing business is a best-bet.
Plumbing may seem complicated, and it is, but entrepreneurs join the bluefrog family because they want to thrive in business. Many entrepreneurs looking into the home services industries don't have experience in carpet cleaning, pest control, maid services - and plumbing is no different. This is a business, and you will run it like a CEO. We have the systems and processes in place to help your business thrive over the long-term.
bluefrog Plumbing + Drain is a whole different animal from the rest of the plumbing industry. We focus entirely on the client and providing the best customer experience out there. We take the time to educate the client, provide options, maintain transparency every step of the way, and do an expert level job at the most affordable price. As a result, we're fast becoming one of the most trusted names in our industry.
The information presented may have changed since first published. We recommend that you always verify fees, investment amounts and offers with the business opportunity directly prior to making a decision to invest.
1. What training and ongoing support do you provide?
You want to know what happens after you pay the initial fee. A strong franchisor provides comprehensive pre-opening training, site-selection help, operational playbooks, and continuous assistance with marketing, technology, and supply chains.
2. What is the total initial investment, and did actual startup costs match the estimates in Item 7 of the FDD?
The Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) lists estimated startup costs in Item 7, but real-world expenses can run higher. Asking how closely current owners tracked to these estimates reveals if you need extra working capital or if hidden fees exist.
3. How do royalties and local/national marketing fees impact profitability?
You need to understand ongoing financial obligations-such as monthly royalty percentages and ad fund contributions-and evaluate whether the brand value and support justify cutting into your profit margins.
4. What are the common challenges new franchisees face, and how do you help them overcome them?
Transparent franchisors will openly discuss real hurdles like local competition, tight labor markets, or supply chain bottlenecks, and show you the exact playbook or field support they offer to solve them as well as allowing you to speak with other franchisees.
5. How many franchise locations have closed or left the system in the past few years, and why?
High turnover, store closures, or quiet franchise exits are major red flags. This question measures system stability, territory health, and whether the corporate team addresses struggling owners or lets them fail.
