Should plumbers be certified or licensed?
Working as a plumber typically requires passing licensing exams. Working with licensed professionals minimizes rework, safety hazards, and surprise fines. The "Angi Approved" designation confirms businesses meet our certification requirements: comprehensive background clearance, appropriate licensing verification, minimum 3.0 rating standard, advertising contribution, and eligibility criteria satisfaction. Important: Licensing is mandatory.
What questions should I ask a plumbing contractor?
Ensure quality service by addressing these key questions before hiring:
- Valid license/insurance proof?
- Free written quote available?
- Hourly rate, trip fee, minimums?
- Credentials of field techs?
- Liability for accidental damage?
- Emergency dispatch speed?
- Cleanup expectations?
- Warranty start/end dates?
Mutual understanding here drives a stress-free experience.
Should I clean before the plumber comes?
Prepare by removing any obstacles from the plumber’s likely work route. Washing the area where the plumber will work helps maintain hygiene.
Children should never play near the plumber’s tools or work area.
How much are typical plumbing repair costs?
Simple to major repairs put plumbing at $175–$4,000, mean $325.
Common price examples:
- Toilet job: $150–400
- Burst pipe: $1,000–4,000+
- Drain service: $100–275
- Heater repair: $200–600
- Faucet job: $150–350
Rush timelines, same-day requirements, or holiday service may carry premium pricing.
How much do plumbers typically charge?
Permitted work and documentation can nudge rates above $100/hr.
Common Rate Structure:
- Normal billing: $45–$200/hr
- Emergency billing: $150+ hr
- Service call fee: $100–$350
- Holiday uplift: 25–50%
Costs are affected by the plumber's experience, local market rates, time of service, and difficulty of the repair required.
How long do plumbers take to complete a plumbing job?
Typical non-invasive fixes usually conclude in a single short visit. Often it’s drain snaking, minor seal replacements, or connecting a new dishwasher. Water damage mitigation and drying must precede final repairs after a major leak. Complex diagnoses can add time before repairs even begin.
When should I call a plumber instead of DIY-ing my project?
When the issue appears after a freeze or major storm, call for professional evaluation.
Professional help is advised for:
- More damage than initially visible
- Leaks in difficult access points
- Projects requiring professional tools
- Pipe cutting or fitting replacement
- Work involving hot water, steam, or gas systems
Perfectly fine to acknowledge when you need professional guidance. If the project demands exceed your expertise, seek professional help.
