How to generate plumbing leads
Pick your city and contractor type
Describe the region you want to target, like "plumbing contractors in Austin, TX." Sculptor searches Google Maps for matching businesses.
Sculptor sources and enriches each contractor row
Sculptor scans Google Maps for plumbing contractors in your target area, compiling business names, phone numbers, and websites. It then waterfalls through 150+ providers to surface a verified Owner email on matched rows.
Get your table of business names and Owner emails
The finished table has business name and, for matched rows, a verified Owner email. Export to CSV or push to your outbound tool to start outreach.

Frequently asked questions
How does Sculptor find plumbing leads by city?
Type a city or region into the prompt, and Sculptor queries Clay's Google Maps integration to pull plumbing businesses with name, phone, website, and Google rating. It then runs the "SMBs - Find and Verify Decision Makers" waterfall across 150+ data sources to locate a verified owner email for each business. One test search for HVAC businesses in Phoenix returned 178 results in minutes.
How accurate are the owner emails Sculptor finds?
Clay's waterfall enrichment routinely triples contact coverage compared to any single provider. In Clay's own SMB email testing, top providers like Datagma and Hunter scored above 97% confidence on verified addresses. Because the waterfall cycles through providers such as Prospeo, Apollo, and Lusha, it fills gaps that a standalone tool would miss, so most rows return a usable owner email.
Can I generate plumbing leads for multiple cities at once?
Yes. Paste a list of cities into a Clay table column or upload them via CSV, then run Sculptor across every row. Each city triggers its own Google Maps search and waterfall enrichment pass. When the table finishes, push the full list directly to HubSpot, Salesforce, or Pipedrive, or download as a CSV to start outreach immediately.
Is it legal to cold email plumbing business owners?
In the United States, the CAN-SPAM Act permits unsolicited B2B emails as long as each message includes a valid physical address, an honest subject line, and a working unsubscribe link. If you plan to cold call as well, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) and the National Do Not Call Registry require you to scrub numbers before dialing.
Rules vary by state, and GDPR applies if any recipients are in the EU. Always check the regulations for your jurisdiction before launching outreach.
