Key takeaways
- Include drain, sewer, rooter and mechanical in the company words.
- "Master Plumber" is often the owner in small firms.
- Combined HVAC and plumbing firms are common. Decide whether you want them.
Step by step
- Describe the people in one sentence. On Starter and above, search "owners of plumbing companies in Ohio with a mobile number" and BuzzAI reads real titles and company names instead of relying on industry codes. On Free, build the same list with the filters in the table below.
- Use the right titles. Owner, president, master plumber, general manager, service manager and operations manager.
- Set the company size. Start with 1 to 19 employees. Multi-truck operators sit in 20 to 99.
- Choose the channel. Call early morning or late afternoon. Follow with a short email that references the call. Scrub numbers against the National Do-Not-Call Registry and your own do-not-call list before calling or texting.
- Save, reveal and reach out. Save the list, reveal only the people you will contact, and export to a spreadsheet or your CRM. You are not charged when no email or phone exists.

What to know
Franchise locations are a trap. The local operator may not control purchasing, and the franchisor often does. If you sell something the franchisor mandates, exclude the franchise brand names from your search.
For larger plumbing and mechanical contractors, a Sales Brief shows what they advertise, where they are hiring and who else works there, which gives you something real to say on the first call.
