Pipe Inspection Co, 95% Recurring Rev, 30% Profit Margin, SP 740K
Business Description
27 Years Old, Great Reputation, Owner Retiring, Easy to Grow
2025’s revenues were 912K with 273K in earnings. A 30% profit margin. The sales price is 740K, which is 2.7 times the 2025 earnings. They also started 2026 trending above 2025 through February. The owner has run this company with steady revenues, employees, and earnings with virtually no advertising. The business comes from referrals from realtors, contractors, real estate inspectors, municipalities, and state and federal governments.
They do mostly residential work, which is 70% pipeline inspections. They also do utility locating, odor/leak detection, pressure testing, and root removal. They use two specialized trucks for city main lines which the seller believes the new owner should increase based on its profitability.
The company has great long-term employees and a functional building with room for growth. They have 95% recurring customer base and spend less than 2% of their revenues on marketing. This combined with their strong reputation means that the business should not change post-closing because the buyer will keep using their name as a dba.
The company operates with a highly experienced team of technicians who are full-time employees along with 2 other support employees. The owner works 40 hours a week and spends 96% of his time in the office, and the rest doing the bigger estimates on site and some large job site visits. He can do most of the estimating from his office and typically doesn’t need to visit most jobs.
The owner has not put money into the website for many years, SEO, social media, etc. The new owner should ask for happy customers, real estate agents, and inspectors to submit reviews to bring up the Google rating, which should be easy to do.
They are a full-service, fully insured, professional company that can be trusted.
The buyer will get approximately 250K in current value assets and a small amount of inventory.
Growth and Expansion: There are a lot of ways to grow this company. The new owner can improve their online marketing while paying attention to their star ratings by starting to ask for reviews. The company works in the Denver metro area but knows that there are a lot of populated areas that are underserved. The company would be more profitable advertising and hiring 1099’d independent technicians in or near Loveland, Summit County, Colorado Springs, Glenwood Springs, etc who would be provided uniforms, a small wrapped van, pipe inspection equipment, be able to work out of their home, and be fed jobs by a sales person(s) who would be advertising in these markets and calling on realtors, inspectors, and contractors for referrals. The seller has ideas to expand such as soliciting municipalities to have periodic inspections and vacuum testing of city manholes, sewers, and street drains, which they already do on a small basis, find sprinkler system leaks, swimming pool leaks, and under-slab drain leaks. Chimney inspections, hydrostatic testing of fire line pipes, sewer lines, storm lines, and under-slab drain lines. Add air duct inspections, water testing, and mold testing. All of which they already have equipment and vehicles.
