Plumber Daily Launches an Executive Council

A working group of plumbing owners comparing notes on flat-rate pricing, the shrinking labor pool, and where AI earns its keep after hours.

Plumber Daily is opening applications for an executive council: a working group of plumbing company owners built to compare real notes on the pressures specific to this trade, a labor pool that isn't producing enough new plumbers to replace the ones retiring, flat-rate pricing decisions that can make or break margin on a given job, and AI phone and dispatch tools that range from genuinely useful to overhyped.

Every owner deciding how to price a price book, or whether an AI answering system is worth trusting with a 2 a.m. emergency call, is largely solving this alone through trial and error. A council of owners comparing real, specific experience should reach better answers faster than any one shop working it out independently.

This is a launch, not a filled roster. Nobody is a member today. Applications open now, reviewed by our editorial team, with direct follow-up to the owners we invite in. Members may be asked for a quote, a short interview, or a write-up in future coverage, credited to them and their business.

The bar to apply is real: a minimum of $1 million in annual revenue, since this is built for operators running an established plumbing business. Beyond that, what matters most is a willingness to talk plainly about what's actually working on the truck and in the office. Apply through the council page if that's you.
