Plumbing

Choosing the right business or franchise opportunity can be difficult, simply because many appear to be too good to be true or are designed to attract those hoping to “get rich quick.” Conversely, the best opportunities may not be in the most trendy or glamorous areas of labour, but instead provide reliable, stable markets that can generate profits over the long term and offer some degree of insulation from adverse economic climates. Given those desirable aspects, the plumbing industry is among the most attractive industries for many, particularly in a franchise context.

Service Canada notes that plumbing is heavily tied to the construction industry, which has seen steady growth and job creation due to increases in public and private investment among other factors. As a result, Canadian plumbing franchises have seen demand for their services increase, both through the need for pipe- fitting in new developments as well as through the maintenance and repair of already-constructed structures in the consumer, commercial and industrial settings.
