Washington Service Plumber PL01 or PL02

About Mr. Rooter Plumbing

Mr. Rooter Plumbing welcomes ambitious team members who appreciate the importance of the plumbing profession.

Couffley Home Services is a 100% family-owned operator of Mr. Rooter Plumbing franchises across Oregon and Washington. We focus exclusively on service plumbing, drain cleaning, and sewer services. We are building one of the Pacific Northwest's premier plumbing organizations without private equity investors and without the complication of other trades. We are proud to be plumbers.

• Do you love service plumbing because you go home each night knowing that your work restored another person's quality of life?

• Is it a point of pride to serve your customers through the whole process, from the initial diagnosis through the finished work, instead of taking leads from a salesman or handing off work to an install crew?

• Are you a courteous professional who consistently earns customer praise that will add to our team's collection of 7,000+ five-star Google reviews?

The Opportunity

If you hold a Washington PL01 or PL02 plumbing license, love the service side of the trade, and believe in your ability to work within a performance pay model, this could be a strong opportunity.

A Washington PL01 who matches the averages of our existing team for job size and conversion rate can comfortably expect to earn $120,000 per year, with above-average performance realistically earning $160,000+ and top-tier performance exceeding $200,000.

What You'll Do

• Follow the Mr. Rooter customer service system. Earn trust, diagnose residential plumbing problems, and present multiple options with upfront, flat-rate pricing for customer approval before starting work. Personally complete every step of the process. Mr. Rooter Plumbing resolves approximately 90% of calls in a single visit.

• Demonstrate technical excellence in service plumbing. Mr. Rooter does not perform new construction or heavy commercial work. Our focus is residential service with similar work for light commercial sites. Expect lots of fixtures, water heaters, leak repairs, water services, and re-pipes.

• Train the next generation of the plumbing trade. Not all PL01s are assigned a full-time apprentice; however, each one makes themselves available as a remote technical reference and hosts occasional ride-alongs for trainees collecting hours toward their own PL04, PL02, or PL01 license.

• Maintain a well-stocked truck and work efficiently to complete jobs without unnecessary trips to the supply house or return visits.

• Clearly explain plumbing issues and repair options to homeowners.

• Maintain a clean, professional jobsite and provide an excellent customer experience.
