Stockton Ventures acquires profitable home inspection companies and septic service businesses generating $500K–$4M in annual revenue. Two categories that share what we look for: light capex, fragmented competition, and demand that doesn't quit.
Home inspection and septic service share the same operating DNA — and both are dominated by owner-operators ready for a thoughtful exit.
Inspection and septic businesses run on trucks, software, and certifications — not heavy equipment fleets. Working capital is modest, depreciation is predictable, and post-close capex surprises are rare.
Real estate transactions require inspections. Septic systems require pumping every 3–5 years and emergency service when they fail. Neither demand source is going to be disrupted by software.
Both categories are dominated by individual owner-operators with no clear succession plan. That's the buyer's window — and the reason these are great roll-up categories.
Most of these are common to both inspection and septic businesses we acquire.
Diligence on these categories tends to be quick — fewer moving parts than restoration or commercial cleaning.
