Working capital for plumbing businesses
Plumbing revenue splits between emergency service calls and scheduled jobs. Trucks, techs, and parts bill every week - and a slow week with a van down eats the margin fast.
Clearwater places plumbing files with funding partners that already know the industry: $10K to $2M, sized off your real bank deposits, with no hard credit pull to apply. Searching for plumbing business loans? What we place is revenue-based funding - an advance repaid out of daily deposits - and this page explains exactly how it prices so you can compare honestly.
How funders read a plumbing file
Funders read plumbing files as a blend: high-frequency service tickets landing as daily card batches, plus larger checks from commercial jobs and remodels. The service side is the strength - emergency demand runs year round, so plumbing books show less seasonality than most trades and price accordingly. Recurring commercial accounts - property managers, restaurants, facilities contracts - read as durable revenue; mention them when you apply. Drain and sewer equipment is the classic fundable purchase because a jetter or camera rig converts directly into higher-ticket calls. The watch item is concentration: a book leaning on one GC's payments reads as one relationship, not a customer base.
What plumbing businesses use the capital for
- Jetter, camera, or excavation equipment that raises average ticket size
- A stocked van to put another tech on the road
- Payroll float on commercial contracts paying net-30
- Fittings and fixture inventory at supplier discount pricing
What the numbers look like
Most files support roughly half to 1.4 times monthly bank deposits - where a file lands depends on deposit consistency, time in business, and existing positions. As an illustration only: a plumbing business depositing $50,000 a month might see an advance around $45,000, repaid as about $283 per business day until a fixed $59,400 is paid. The total is fixed on day one - it never compounds or grows - and most deals carry prepayment discounts, shown with your offer.

Plumbing Companies funding questions
Is plumbing seasonal in a funder's eyes?
Less than most trades. Emergency work runs all year, and steady daily service deposits are the strongest part of a plumbing file. A cold-snap month reads as upside, not baseline.
Half my revenue is service calls and half is remodel work. How does that read?
Well. Daily card batches from service smooth the file, and recurring lumps from remodel and commercial work add size. The blend usually prices better than either alone.
Can I fund a new van and equipment?
Yes. Putting another stocked truck on the road is a capacity story, and capacity that converts to billable calls is the easiest use to place.
