Mr. Rooter Franchise Model Overview
Mr. Rooter franchisees run full-service plumbing businesses: repair plumbing, drain and sewer cleaning, water heaters, sewer-line replacement and relining, leak detection, gas lines and related work for homeowners and commercial accounts. The brand has franchised since 1993 and is part of Neighborly, the Waco, Texas home-services platform controlled by KKR, which runs the ServiceTitan-based software every franchisee must use. Territories are priced by population, with a 100,000-person minimum, and existing plumbing companies can convert with a fee discount scaled to their sales. The business can run from home or an existing shop, and the investment is low-to-mid six figures. Royalty is six percent and the marketing fee two percent, each with weekly minimums, and local marketing groups can add up to three percent. The owner or a trained manager must supervise operations personally. The system is almost entirely franchised and has grown by roughly ten units a year; resale buyers pay a transfer fee of at least $15,000.
