Hot Listing
Pipe Inspection Co, 95% Recurring Rev, 30% Profit Margin, SP 740K
Business Description
Denver Metro, 250K in Current Value Assets included in the 740K SP
The trailing 12 months to April 30th revenues were 977K with 296K in earnings. 2025’s revenues were 912K with 273K in earnings. That is a 30% profit margin, which is very high for a service company. The sales price is 740K, which is only 2.5 times the trailing 12 months earnings. 2026 is growing at approximately 8% above 2025. The owner has run this company with steady revenues and earnings. With virtually no advertising, the business comes from referrals from happy customers. The customers are realtors, contractors, real estate inspectors, municipalities, engineers, and state and federal governments. The company does not need to pay referral fees because their high-quality work doesn’t embarrass the people/companies who refer them. They are fast to respond and less likely to delay closing and work because they are unbiased inspectors.
They do commercial, government, and mostly residential work, which is 70% pipeline inspections. They also do utility locating, odor/leak detection, pressure testing, and root removal. They use a portable unit to treat buildings and residences, and for city main lines, they use a specialized truck. Their work comes from a need that they perform in an unbiased way. Sewer inspections are not typically performed by the inspectors that realtors recommend as part of the due diligence of all real estate transactions. The inspectors typically recommend specialists like this company.
The company has great long-term employees and a functional building with room for growth. They have 95% recurring customer base and spend less than 2% of their revenues on marketing.
This is not a franchise which means that the new owner will not have to worry about transfer fees,
The company operates with a highly experienced team of technicians who are full-time employees along with 2 other support employees. The owner works 40 hours a week and spends 96% of his time in the office, and the rest doing the bigger estimates on site and some large job site visits. He can do most of the estimating from his office and typically doesn’t need to visit most jobs.
They are a full-service, fully insured, professional company that can be trusted because they don’t provide any repairs, eliminating the temptation to exaggerate issues and recommend unnecessary repairs. This is one of the reasons that they get so many referrals.
The buyer will get approximately 250K in current value assets made up of 10 vehicles worth close to 100K, 142K in equipment, which is mostly cameras, generators, and other supporting equipment, and hundreds of small tools, small equipment, office supplies, and furniture.
Growth and Expansion:The new owner can improve their online marketing while paying attention to their star ratings by starting to ask for reviews. There is a demand for their services all over the state. The company works in the Denver metro area but knows that there are a lot of populated areas that are underserved, especially by a non-biased inspector. The company would be more profitable advertising to other populated underserved markets and hiring 1099’d independent technicians in or near Loveland, Summit County, Colorado Springs, Glenwood Springs, etc who would be provided uniforms, a small wrapped van, pipe inspection equipment, be able to work out of their home, and be fed jobs by a sales person(s) who would be advertising in these markets and calling on realtors, inspectors, and contractors for referrals. His ideas include: Soliciting municipalities to have periodic inspections and vacuum testing of city manholes, sewers, and street drains, which they already do on a small basis, find sprinkler system leaks, swimming pool leaks, and under-slab drain leaks. Chimney inspections, hydrostatic testing of fire line pipes, sewer lines, storm lines, and under-slab drain lines. Add air duct inspections, water testing, and mold testing.
