How to use Water Leak Detection as a method for getting Plumbing and Repair Jobs.

Introduction:

In this article, we are going to explore how you could maximize revenue and business growth by combining Water Leak Detection with services such as Plumbing, Repair, Concrete, Pool, Irrigation or other General Services.

With that said, here are 5 ways offering a water leak detection can help you grow your business!

1. Leveraging Water Leak Detection as a Lead Magnet

One of the best ways to grow your plumbing business or other skilled trade is to offer water leak detection services. Our market observation is that many businesses will offer water leak detection as a bonus service in order to get customers. For example, a Pool Repair and Services company may offer their clients a “free pool leak detection” in order to get new customers in the door and close them on an expensive repair job.

Using Water Leak Detection as a lead magnet is fine, but we see a handful of ways to improve this approach.

2. Elevating Leak Detection Services with Professional Equipment

The first thing we noticed is that most of the companies that offer "free" leak detection are not trying to offer a serious quality leak detection service. It’s more like an excuse to come out to the property. Many technicians may just rely on their experience and understanding of common leak causes to quickly find the problem area. Many of these customers likely already know where the leak may be. From the customer’s perspective they also want an excuse to get an expert to come out and give them a quote for a repair job.

What we recommend instead is that you use professional equipment and SELL serious leak detection services instead of giving it away for free. Why? Because it’s much easier than you think.

So why should you do this? In short, selling professional water leak detection services could be the easiest way to sell more plumbing, concrete, pool, irrigation, etc. repair jobs. PLUS, it could bring a significant new revenue channel to your business.

3. Get More Repair Clients

A company selling Repair Services obviously wants customers who need repair. While there’s many ways to market these types of services, at the end of the day, if a client doesn’t think they need a repair, they won’t be buying.

What we come across all the time in leak detection is that many clients don’t even realize they will need serious repairs and they are not expecting to need serious repairs. This is key. It signifies that there are thousands of people out there who are not reaching out for Repair Services because they don’t realize that’s what they need.

So regardless of the the client acquisition method, essentially, most repair companies are sitting around waiting for people to realize they need repairs in order to make a sale.

What YOU could be doing instead is to focus on Water Leak Detection Jobs. What’s the difference? Wouldn’t you just be sitting around waiting for people to notice a leak? Not exactly. See not everyone notices that something needs to be repaired, but EVERYONE gets a water bill and will suspect a leak when it goes up.

Water leaks can cost tens of thousands of dollars in repairs. It doesn’t get much easier than selling the repair job to a client who already trusted you to find the leak. You can read more about this in our article: How much does the average water leak cost in damages?

5. Sell Leak Detection And Subcontract The Repairs

Do you need to own plumbing, repair, or construction business to sell leak detection services? Well, no you don’t. (By the way, you also don’t need any kind of certification or license to sell water leak detection services.) In fact, a huge portion of our customers solely focus on water leak detection.

If this is your strategy, here’s what we recommend to really maximize revenue.

Start by positioning your leak detection business as a premium service. This will allow you to charge more and work with higher paying and better customers.

Then, build a net work of contractors that you could sub contract to deliver repair services to your clients. You don’t want to miss out on the revenue from all the repair job opportunities that will come your way.

And finally, to make your job fast and easy, equip yourself with the best water leak detection tools available. It’s an investment that will pay itself many times over.

In Conclusion

Integrating water leak detection services into your business model can significantly enhance revenue and business growth potential. By positioning yourself as a premium service provider, leveraging professional equipment, and forging strategic partnerships, you can capitalize on the lucrative opportunities in the leak detection market. The easiest way to get started is by using professional equipment like SNIFFER430 and LIXENER30 to make finding leaks very simple and give you accurate results.
