As a plumbing and drain cleaning business, you’re always on the lookout for ways to expand your services, increase revenue, and keep your business growing. One of the smartest moves you can make is to stop relying on costly subcontractors and start offering trenchless pipe lining solutions in-house. With NuFlow’s Start-Up Kits, you have everything you need to add this high-margin service to your business, keeping your earnings where they belong — with you.
Unlock high-margin revenue
Pipe lining is a growing market that allows you to address common issues like sewer odors, leaks and recurring blockages without digging up the ground or causing major disruption. For customers, this trenchless solution is a no-brainer — they want effective, cost-efficient options that avoid the mess and expense of excavation.
Instead of passing these lucrative jobs off to other contractors, why not keep the work in-house? Offering pipe lining services can help you not only attract new customers but also increase retention by offering minimally invasive solutions to their pipe issues.
A better option
Aaron Simpson, a NuFlow Certified Contractor at I Fix Pipe, highlights why more businesses are turning to pipe lining: “It’s a better option for the customers, and the profit margins are higher than any other service we offer.” By integrating pipe lining into your services, you can provide a better option for customers and benefit from a significant boost in profitability.
Fast ROI and long-term growth
NuFlow’s NuDrain CIPP and NuCure Cold Cure UV Start-Up Kits are affordable entry points to pipe lining. These kits are designed around NuFlow’s signature Precision Pull-in-Place installation method, which doesn’t require heavy excavation or special equipment. Because of this, many contractors report getting a return on their investment within just a few jobs.
Mike Lomonaco of Lomonaco Coast Plumbing shares his success story: “I think we made our initial investment back by the second job. We were making a profit within the first couple of months. Now, we more than double our monthly revenue on a regular basis, sometimes up to quadruple revenue versus just plumbing work alone.” His company went from subbing out lining jobs to receiving calls from other contractors looking for pipe lining expertise.
Comprehensive training and ongoing support
NuFlow’s Start-Up Kits come with more than just equipment — they include comprehensive training and 24/7 technical support to make sure your team is fully prepared to offer the service. The training doesn’t stop after your initial setup. NuFlow offers continuing education classes to keep your team at the forefront of the industry.
Chris McNulty of NuFlow St. Louis says, “It was easy to get started. We were already doing sewer investigation work, so once we added pipe lining, it just took off.” The ability to seamlessly integrate pipe lining into an existing plumbing business has proven to be a game-changer for many contractors.
NuFlow also provides Field Quality Assurance software checklists, project planning materials, and marketing resources (along with customer leads!) to ensure your success every step of the way.
Profits and scalability
For businesses looking to scale, pipe lining is a powerful tool for growth. Greg Copas and Spencer Drake from Big Cat Plumbing explain how offering NuFlow’s trenchless solutions has transformed their company: “The profitability of pipe lining has been a huge part of our success. It’s allowed us to invest in more equipment and hire more people. It gives us a unique advantage over our competitors.”
This kind of growth is not an exception — it’s becoming the rule for contractors who make the switch to pipe lining.
Keep more of your revenue in-house
Many contractors have shared similar success stories, like Brent McDonald, the owner of Rub-A-Dub Plumbing, who used to spend upwards of $70,000 a year on subcontractors for tunneling jobs. By investing in NuFlow’s lining equipment instead, McDonald was able to keep that revenue in-house. “We’ve stopped tunneling and we rarely excavate anything. We’ve invested in more equipment, which has opened a lot more jobs and larger commercial-size projects,” McDonald says. This strategic shift has helped his business eliminate costly digs and improve overall efficiency.
Take control of your business’s future
By incorporating NuFlow’s trenchless pipe lining technology, you not only reduce reliance on subcontractors but also increase your profitability, expand your service offerings, and grow your business. As Jeff Lane of King Rooter & Plumbing says, “Get your guys out of the trenches and make yourself more profitable. Lining is a huge part of my business. It really was a game-changer for us. We did almost a million dollars in lining the first year.”
