Should plumbers be certified or licensed?
Plumbing is not a DIY trade at scale—licensing is required. Licensed tradespeople follow safety protocols that protect your family and property. Certification programs can show extra training, but they do not replace state licensing requirements.
What questions should I ask a plumbing contractor?
These due-diligence questions help you choose a trustworthy plumbing pro:
- May I see licensing/insurance docs?
- Free estimate policy?
- Billing type and minimum hour?
- Qualifications of installers?
- Handling unforeseen damage?
- Do you take emergency calls?
- Cleanup responsibilities spelled out?
- Written guarantee provided?
It makes the entire service experience more predictable.
Should I clean before the plumber comes?
Making room for the plumber ensures the job can start right away. Removing dirt and buildup from the repair site helps the plumber.
Ensure young children are always supervised.

How long do plumbers take to complete a plumbing job?
Minor repairs with good access tend to finish within a few hours. Typical quick tasks include replacing supply lines, fixing a running toilet, or installing a garbage disposal. Concrete slab repairs after leaks require dry/cure time before finish restoration. Ask whether permits are required and who will obtain them.
When should I call a plumber instead of DIY-ing my project?
When safety, compliance, and long-term reliability matter most, hire a professional.
Professional help is advised for:
- Significant corrosion found
- Leaks behind cabinetry
