Should plumbers be certified or licensed?
In nearly all jurisdictions, plumbers must hold an active license. With a licensed plumber, permits, inspections, and warranties are handled properly and transparently. Confirm workers’ compensation and liability coverage in addition to licensing.
What questions should I ask a plumbing contractor?
To clarify pricing, staffing, and policies, use these questions:
- Current license/insurance status?
- Estimate transparency and cost?
- Pricing method and overtime rules?
- Team qualifications/certifications?
- Damage claim procedure?
- Emergency response SLA?
- Cleanup scope and limits?
- Warranty coverage details?
It supports quick resolution if issues arise.
Should I clean before the plumber comes?
A tidy workspace free of boxes, clutter, and trash helps plumbers do their job more effectively. Keeping the plumbing fixture clean shows consideration for the technician.
Keep the plumber’s path clear of toys and pets.

How long do plumbers take to complete a plumbing job?

Boiler, hydronic, or steam work often includes additional testing cycles. Accessibility to plumbing fixtures significantly impacts completion time.
When should I call a plumber instead of DIY-ing my project?
If a quick DIY fix is turning into a bigger job, it's a good moment to involve a licensed plumber.
