JackQuisitions - Small Business Acquisitions in Home Service Why No One Is Looking at Septic… and How to Buy One Cheap
Buying a septic company is one of the highest-ROI moves in home-service M&A… if you know where to look.
In this episode of JackQuisitions, Jack breaks down exactly where real septic deals come from — from the obvious online marketplaces to the off-market gold mines almost no one talks about. If you’re serious about buying your first septic business (or adding one as a high-margin tuck-in), this roadmap will save you weeks of searching and tens of thousands of dollars.
Jack covers why septic is one of his favorite industries to acquire, why so many buyers overlook it, and the simple outreach strategy that consistently uncovers motivated sellers long before they hit BizBuySell.
Whether you're running an SBA search, building a route-based portfolio, or just trying to get into home-service acquisitions in 2026, this one gives you the playbook.
What You’ll Learn
- The 3 real channels for finding septic companies for sale (and which one beats the others every time).
- How deal aggregator sites really work—and why the “clean books” come with a premium price tag.
- Why local business brokers can be useful… and why they rarely have septic deals ready to go.
