At Mr. Rooter, our primary focus is helping our franchise owners meet and exceed their professional and personal goals. The plumbing industry is growing, and so is competition in many regions.

Add to that the established systems that Mr. Rooter provides, and you find yourself with exactly the right tools to build the future you want.

An extra unique benefit of owning a Mr. Rooter is becoming a part of the Neighborly family of home service brands. This means you have opportunities for networking, cross-marketing benefits, lead generation from getneighborly.com, and good old-fashioned community.

Strong Start, Enduring Benefits

Wondering how to start a plumbing business, win customers, edge out competitors, and still find time for a life? It’s a difficult combo to achieve, but Mr. Rooter paves the way.

Here’s an example scenario:

With so much on your plate, you may hit a wall, unable to grow your business further without sacrificing your quality of life.

When you choose a Mr. Rooter plumbing startup instead, you start with a tried-and-true business model and an internationally recognized brand. From vendor deals to marketing strategies to day-to-day advice, Mr. Rooter’s support frees up your time to grow your business and enjoy yourself.
