33、plumbing or HVAC.Higher interest rates have held markets back of late.Large platforms,worth 20 x EBITDA+at lower interest rates,could afford to buy add-ons at high multiples.This has resulted in two things.First,multiples have come down somewhat.However,more notably,transaction volume declined signi
