Plumbing Acquisitions
We buy plumbing companies, and keep the people who built them.
Three Delta buys established residential and commercial plumbing businesses across the U.S., Florida included. We're an operator-buyer based in Miami Beach, with financing in place before we make an offer. We buy to own and run the business long-term, with your team.

What we look at in a plumbing business
Every plumbing company is valued on its numbers. These are the things behind the numbers that we ask about first, so you can have answers ready.
The full guide: Selling a Plumbing Business →Service and repair vs. new construction. Service, repair and repipe work comes from customers you already have. New-construction rough-ins follow the builders' schedules. We look at the mix.
Your specialty work. Water heaters, drain and sewer, leak detection and similar jobs often carry better margins than general service. We look at how much of your revenue they make up.
Your plumbers. How long your licensed plumbers and apprentices have been with you, and whether the work leans on one or two people.
The license. In many states, Florida among them, the company works under a qualifying agent's contractor license. If that's you, we plan the license handover before closing, not after.
Where calls come from. Repeat customers, property managers, home warranty companies, referrals or paid ads, and whether any one of them carries too much of the work.

Questions plumbing owners ask us
Who buys plumbing businesses?
Most plumbing companies sell to one of three kinds of buyer: private-equity-backed platforms that combine many home-service companies, larger plumbing or mechanical contractors, and operator-buyers who buy a company to run it. Three Delta is an operator-buyer. We buy established plumbing companies with $2 million to $30 million in revenue and run them long-term with the existing team.
Do you buy plumbing companies in Florida?
Yes. We're based in Miami Beach and buy plumbing companies anywhere in the U.S., Florida included.
How long does it take to sell my plumbing company to you?
Usually 60 to 90 days from a signed letter of intent to closing. Before that, the pace mostly depends on how quickly the financials come together. Financing is lined up before the LOI, so it doesn't hold up the close.
Will my plumbers and office staff keep their jobs?
Yes. Keeping the team is how we buy. Your plumbers, apprentices, dispatchers and office staff are a large part of what makes the company worth buying.
Do I have to stay on after the sale?
A 3 to 6 month handover is typical, so customers, staff and suppliers get to know the new owner with you there. If you have managers in place, the handover can be shorter.
