By national ratios Des Moines supports about 390 full-time plumber pros — a large market with room for niche specialists, emergency-only operators and franchises alike. That is smaller than most United States cities we cover. 60 % of homes are owner-occupied, so the work skews toward owners who decide and pay themselves — repairs, upgrades and maintenance plans. The housing stock is old for the country, which pushes repair and replacement demand above the national average.
