Should plumbers be certified or licensed?

It’s common—and required—for plumbers to hold a license. Licensed service helps ensure correct sizing, venting, and slopes. The "Angi Approved" certification guarantees professionals meet our criteria: complete background verification, valid licensing maintenance, minimum 3.0 star rating, advertising participation, and eligibility standard compliance. Remember: Licensing is legally necessary.

What questions should I ask a plumbing contractor?

To ensure transparency and protection, ask your plumber this:

  • Licensed for this municipality?
  • Any call-out fee?
  • Fixed price options?
  • Will a licensed tech attend?
  • Damage policy explained?
  • Emergency timeframe?
  • Cleanup/disposal?
  • Guarantee/warranty?

It’s the easiest way to safeguard your home and budget.

Should I clean before the plumber comes?

Remove tripping hazards like boxes or loose items to keep the work safe. Properly cleaned surfaces make plumbing inspections smoother.

Pets should be secured to prevent them from interfering.

How much are typical plumbing repair costs?

Plumbing repair costs generally average $325 per job, with possible costs between $175 and $4,000 or more.

Common price examples:

  • Common toilet issues: $150–400
  • Pipe emergencies: $1,000–4,000+
  • Drain clearing: $100–275
  • Heater repairs: $200–600
  • Fixture replacements: $150–350

Scope changes mid-project, add-ons, or upgrades will naturally increase the final amount due.

How much do plumbers typically charge?

A journeyman may bill ~ $100/hr; apprentices less, masters more (overall $45–$200/hr).

Common Rate Structure:

  • Posted rate: $45–$200/hr
  • Emergency window: $150+/hr
  • Arrival fee: $100–$350
  • Holiday surcharge: 25–50%

Pricing considerations include the plumber's skill level, regional pricing norms, time of service, and repair complexity.

How long do plumbers take to complete a plumbing job?

Common fixture swaps or tune-ups often finish in two to three hours. This often covers swapping a faucet, reseating a toilet, or snaking a simple drain. Tight crawlspaces, attics, or inaccessible chases slow production and extend schedules. Marking leak areas or access points helps target work quickly.

When should I call a plumber instead of DIY-ing my project?

When your DIY plan requires cutting walls or floors, consider hiring a pro.

Professional help is advised for:

  • Repeated clogs after DIY attempts
  • Leaks near electrical components
  • Need for soldering/brazing or threading
  • Replacement of corroded sections
  • Projects tied to hot water systems

No problem with recognizing when professional assistance is appropriate. If the project proves more demanding than anticipated, consider a professional.
