Troof. I know a guy, friend's dad, who was pulling north of $300k running his own plumbing company. Corp plumbing, new builds mostly on construction sites. This was Northern VA / DC area.

His guys were making around $50-70k, though friend implied some could pull ballpark of 100k with long hours / 6 days.

I used to run data centers, and the master electricians who worked on my generators and ATS systems would pull 80-120, with no shortage of work. I seriously considered switching at one point, though in the long run network engineering is a better call.
