Plumbing has a consistent mix of emergency demand (burst pipes, major drain clogs, water heater failures) and project-based demand (remodels, fixture upgrades, water line replacements) that produces reliable call volume year-round. Emergency calls close at 50%+ when answered and responded to quickly. Project calls take slightly longer but carry higher average values. The combination makes plumbing one of the best performing trades for exclusive inbound call ROI.
