Plumbing Software for Modern Service Contractors.
Flat-rate pricebooks, per-fixture history, on-truck estimates, and same-day dispatch — the plumbing management software your techs will actually open.
The all-in-one plumbing platform for operators who want to grow.
ServeToro is the plumbing service software contractors trust to run everything from same-day emergency dispatch to whole-home repipes. Combine a flat-rate pricebook, on-truck estimating, per-fixture service history, a dispatch board with priority routing, and automatic invoicing into a single plumbing CRM — with no per-tech seat fees. Urgent-call dispatch is the workflow most shops live and die on: an emergency call comes in at 4:47 p.m., the dispatch board shows every tech's current location and next stop, one drag pushes the burst-pipe call to the closest available truck, and the customer gets an SMS with a live ETA link before the office even hangs up. Photo receipts fire from the mobile app the moment the job wraps — a shot of the old fitting next to the new one, a shot of the dry crawlspace, a shot of the water reading — all auto-attached to the invoice PDF so an insurance adjuster or a landlord never has to ask twice. One-tap payment closes the loop the way modern plumbing service software should: the invoice sends itself, the customer taps the SMS pay link, Apple Pay or Google Pay clears in seconds, and the money hits your Stripe balance before the tech has loaded the ladder back on the van. That's how a real plumbing shop should run in 2026.
Every plumbing operator hits these walls.

How to start a plumbing business in 2026
The plumbing trades are one of the highest-margin field-service niches in America. Here's how to go from journeyman to booked-out master plumber running your own shop.
- 1
1. Get your master plumber license
Requirements vary by state (4-5 years' journeyman + exam is typical). Some states let you start as a licensed contractor with a journeyman under you — check your state's plumbing board.

2. Structure the plumbing business
LLC or S-corp, EIN, business bank account. $1M general liability + $1M commercial auto minimum. Some cities also require a bond ($5-25K).

3. Buy a flat-rate pricebook (don't hourly-quote)
Hourly quoting is where new plumbing companies bleed profit. Buy a pre-built flat-rate book (~$500-2K) or import one into ServeToro during the trial. Every job quoted in under a minute.

4. Stock the emergency-service truck
Sewer machine, drain snake, camera scope, torch, ProPress + fittings, 40-gal + 50-gal water heaters, wax rings, and $3-5K of universal parts. Real plumbers finish 82% of calls on the first visit.
- 5
5. Land your first 3 property-manager accounts
Commercial property managers = predictable, high-margin recurring plumbing work. One good account = 40-80 tickets/year. Set up the recurring service schedule in ServeToro before you sell.
