TV Advertising for Plumbers
Get more service calls by being the plumber homeowners remember.
Table of Contents
When a pipe bursts at 2 AM, homeowners call the plumber they remember. TV advertising for plumbers puts your business in front of homeowners in your service area, building the kind of recognition that turns into calls when emergencies happen.
The plumbers who get called first aren't always the best. They're the ones people remember. TV advertising makes you that plumber.
Why TV Advertising Works for Plumbers
Plumbing is an emergency business. When something goes wrong, homeowners don't have time to research. They call the name that comes to mind first.
Be the name they remember. When plumbing emergencies strike, people call the first business they think of. TV builds that recall in ways digital ads simply can't match.
Reach homeowners directly. Target your exact service radius so you're not paying to reach renters or people outside your area. Whether you cover 10 miles or 50, your ad reaches the right households.
Build trust before the call. Seeing your plumbing business on NBC, Hulu, ESPN and 100+ premium channels creates credibility. When you show up, customers already feel like they know you.
Stand out from quote shoppers. When homeowners see you on TV, they're more likely to call you first instead of getting three quotes. That trust translates to higher close rates.
Promote seasonal services. Run winterization campaigns in fall, sump pump specials in spring, and emergency services year-round. Timing your ads strategically maximizes your budget.
Real Results from Plumbing TV Ads
Plumbers who advertise on TV consistently report:
Called by name more often rather than "I found you on Google"
Easier service area expansion as new neighborhoods recognize the brand
Reduced reliance on lead services like Angi and HomeAdvisor
Higher close rates because customers trust you before you arrive
More referrals from customers who feel confident recommending a "TV advertiser"
The math is simple: if TV advertising generates even a few extra calls per month, it pays for itself many times over.
