After more than a decade in business, Ryan Carpenter decided to take his Indianapolis-based residential plumbing business, Plumbing Heating Paramedics, and turn it into a national franchise. The result? Plumbing Paramedics, a family-run franchise that’s transforming the plumbing industry. Now, after launching franchise opportunities in November of 2021, the brand is pushing an aggressive growth strategy for 2022 and looking for qualified franchise candidates in markets across the country.

For prospects interested in joining the emerging brand, the total investment necessary to begin operation of a Plumbing Paramedics franchise business ranges from $102,250 to $205,800. That initial investment range includes a $40,000 fee that must be paid to the franchisor and gives new franchise owners access to everything they need to run a successful Plumbing Paramedics territory. This includes in-depth training, marketing and advertising support, and the technology and equipment necessary to launch, run and scale a Plumbing Paramedics franchise.

“We know that as a franchise, and especially as an emerging franchise, we are only as strong as our franchise owners. Ensuring the financial health of our owners and supporting them every step of the way throughout their opening is not only the right thing to do, it’s also good business sense,” said Carpenter, Plumbing Paramedics’ brand president.

For interested franchise candidates, the brand’s recent entrance into franchising offers a lucrative opportunity for new owners to capitalize on key territories that remain open across the country, tapping into the whitespace that is largely unavailable in other franchise brands within the industry. Another benefit of the brand? It’s partnership with leading home service franchisor Threshold Brands, the parent company to other leading national franchise brands including MaidPro, Men in Kilts, FlyFoe, Pestmaster Services, USA Insulation, Sir Grout and Plumbing Paramedics’ sister brand, Heating + Air Paramedics.

With Threshold Brand behind them, Plumbing Paramedics franchise owners can benefit from a host of operational advantages the experienced franchisor provides while remaining a part of a family-owned and operated franchise. Franchise owners have access to a comprehensive suite of support services most franchise brands could only dream of, including dedicated operations, coaching teams, cutting edge technology and, perhaps most importantly, a thriving network of franchise owners to share knowledge, best practices and referrals.

“New owners within our system have the opportunity to capitalize on open territories, while other competitors in the space may have already reached development capacity,” said R. Scott Sutton, chief growth officer at Threshold Brands. “Additionally, owners can easily expand to become multi-brand owners within the Threshold Brands umbrella. Our structure allows owners to grow laterally within our system, expanding their portfolio and revenue potential while benefiting from the ability to leverage existing relationships within their territory.”

“The value of our franchise opportunity immediately increased now that we are a part of the Threshold Brands portfolio,” Carpenter said. “As a brand, we were already laser-focused on franchisee success. Now, we have the backing of one of the leading franchisors in the home services segment to support that focus and help us expand our national footprint.”

As Plumbing Paramedics prepares for widespread expansion, it's looking for eager and qualified candidates to help scale the brand nationwide.
