Plumbing M&A Multiples Range from 3-11x EBITDA

Plumbing M&A multiples vary widely: add-on tuck-ins below $1M EBITDA at 3-5x, mid-quality add-ons at 4-7x, platform-quality businesses at 7-11x, and sponsor-to-sponsor recaps in mid-teens.

“Add-on multiples remain materially lower than platform multiples; trade-press and advisor coverage put platform-quality plumbing platforms at 6-11x EBITDA and add-on tuck-ins at 3-8x EBITDA depending on size and recurring-revenue mix.”
