Drainage business - In demand niche. Franchise candidate.
Business Description
Overview
Offered for sale is a 2-year-old niche outdoor service business focused on helping residential clients identify and mitigate water and drainage problems around their properties. The business addresses a widespread, persistent homeowner pain point and operates with a clear, repeatable service model.
The concept is highly complementary to existing landscaping, hardscaping, grading, and outdoor service companies, while also being viable as a standalone operation with strong expansion and franchise potential.
The Opportunity
Outdoor water and drainage issues—such as standing water, runoff, erosion, and improper drainage—are common, costly, and often overlooked until they become urgent. Homeowners are motivated to act, and solutions are perceived as high-value and preventative, rather than discretionary.
This business is positioned as a specialist, not a general contractor, allowing for premium pricing, strong trust, and clear differentiation.
Ideal Buyer Profile
- Landscaping / hardscape business owners seeking a high-margin add-on service
- Outdoor service operators looking to diversify revenue streams
- Entrepreneurs seeking a service business with consistent demand
- Investors interested in a scalable, brandable niche with franchise potential
Key Highlights
Established brand and concept with 2 years of operating history
Clear, niche positioning in a growing and underserved market
Repeatable service workflow suitable for scaling
Strong cross-sell potential to existing landscaping clients
Low operational complexity relative to perceived customer value
Multiple growth paths: geographic expansion, add-on services, licensing, or franchising
