Plumbing is an emergency-driven business. When a pipe bursts at 2 AM or a sewer line backs up, homeowners call and pay whatever it takes. Average tickets run $250–$1,500 for repairs and $3,000–$15,000+ for repiping, water heater installations, and bathroom remodels.
Nearly all of these payments happen by card. At 2.5%–3.5%, a plumbing company doing $40,000–$100,000/month in card sales is losing **$12,000 to $42,000 per year** to processing.
The Plumbing Processing Problem
Emergency Work = Full Price Card Payments
Emergency calls — the highest-margin work in plumbing — are almost always paid by card. Homeowners dealing with flooding or sewage backup aren't stopping at an ATM.
High-Ticket Projects
A single sewer line replacement costs $360 to process by card.
