Should plumbers be certified or licensed?
Working as a plumber typically requires passing licensing exams. Unlicensed plumbing can result in inadequate work quality, significant future costs, and building code non-compliance. As you browse our pro listings, take note of the "Angi Approved" badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards which include: background checks, required licenses, 3.0+ star ratings, advertising participation, and meeting eligibility criteria. Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications.
What questions should I ask a plumbing contractor?
Gauge professionalism and readiness with the following questions:
- Proof of license and insurance available?
- Do you charge for quotes?
- Flat rate vs hourly—what do you use?
- Are technicians certified?
- How do you handle damages?
- Typical emergency response window?
- Is cleanup part of the service?
- Do you guarantee workmanship?
You’ll be able to validate credentials and coverage.
Should I clean before the plumber comes?
Prepare by removing any obstacles from the plumber’s likely work route. Beyond general tidying, specifically cleaning the affected plumbing fixture or area is recommended.
Pets should not be near electrical plumbing tools.
How much are typical plumbing repair costs?
You’ll likely pay about $325, but costs can run $175–$4,000.
Common price examples:
- Toilet leak isolation: $150–400
- Slab leak burst: $1,000–4,000+
- Drain hydro-jet (minor): $100–275
- Heater valve/relief: $200–600
- Bathroom faucet change: $150–350
Upgrades chosen during repair (e.g., better valves) can raise material totals but add longevity.
How much do plumbers typically charge?
Permitted work and documentation can nudge rates above $100/hr.
Common Rate Structure:
- Labor: $45–$200/hr
- Emergency: $150+ hr
- Call-out: $100–$350
- Holiday: 25–50% uplift
Rates are influenced by the plumber's experience level, geographic location, time of service, and complexity of the repair job.
How long do plumbers take to complete a plumbing job?
Typical non-invasive fixes usually conclude in a single short visit. Quick-hit repairs: tightening compression fittings, reseating flanges, or swapping angle stops. Seasonal extremes (freeze, heat) can slow work pace and cure times for materials. If walls must be opened, pre-removal of decor can save minutes.
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:
- Fixture movement or wobble
- Leaks at inaccessible joints
- Equipment beyond DIY kits
- Fitting/thread rework required
- Work affecting gas/steam lines
There's nothing wrong with admitting you need a little extra help. If your project is more complicated than you thought, consider hiring a professional.
