Emergency Clog Removal Help based in Sanford, Maine
Should plumbers be certified or licensed?
Yes—the industry standard is licensed technicians on every job. Licensed pros can advise on permits, upgrades, and future maintenance. 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?
Before day one on site, ensure alignment by asking this:
- Licensed/insured confirmation?
- Written estimate?
- Fixed or hourly?
- Who attends?
- Damage plan?
- Emergencies?
- Cleanup?
- Warranty?
Ultimately, clarity now means fewer headaches later.
Should I clean before the plumber comes?
A prepared homeowner makes the plumber’s visit run much smoother. Take time to scrub toilets or sinks before service.
Avoid letting kids watch closely over the plumber’s shoulder.
How much are typical plumbing repair costs?
Expect most plumbing projects to cost around $325, but $175–$4,000 is possible.
Common price examples:
- Toilet fill valve swap: $150–400
- Main feed burst: $1,000–4,000+
- Drain service visit: $100–275
- Water heater repair call: $200–600
- Faucet set change: $150–350
Preventive add-ons (new shutoffs, supply lines) are small line items that can improve reliability but affect totals.
How much do plumbers typically charge?
Historic/dense urban jobs may command $120–$200/hr; suburbs closer to $80–$120/hr.
Common Rate Structure:
- Standard hours: $45–$200/hr
- Peak/emergency: $150+/hr
- Service callout: $100–$350
- Holiday uplift: 25–50%
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?
Many quick plumbing adjustments are finished within hours of start. Short-turn tasks: replace braided lines, reseal escutcheons, or clean aerators. Client-driven scope changes mid-project naturally extend completion dates. Ask about lead times on special-order fixtures early on.
When should I call a plumber instead of DIY-ing my project?
If noises (hammering, whistling) persist after DIY fixes, get expert diagnosis.
Professional help is advised for:
- Main service line issues
- Hard-to-reach shutoff leaks
- Professional testing needed
- Cutting/patching required
- Gas/hot water proximity
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.
