Should plumbers be certified or licensed?
Licensing requirements exist to protect your home and health. Unlicensed fixes may mask deeper issues, causing larger failures later. Request written proof of current licensing dates and any specialty endorsements.
What questions should I ask a plumbing contractor?
To align timeline and responsibilities, ask these details:
- Are permits included if needed?
- Do you charge to quote?
- Fixed price for the scope?
- Will a master plumber attend?
- Damage liability clarity?
- Emergency call protocol?
- Cleanup/disposal scope?
- Written warranty?
You’ll be better prepared for any contingencies.
Should I clean before the plumber comes?
Prevent delays by ensuring the plumber’s work area is uncluttered. Sanitizing bathrooms in advance is a thoughtful step.
Plumbers need space without interruptions for efficiency.

How long do plumbers take to complete a plumbing job?
Low-complexity repairs tend to be completed within several hours. Common examples are sink installation, pipe or toilet drain cleaning, and dishwasher hookup. Coordinating plumbers, electricians, and tile setters often extends total duration. Photos or videos sent ahead may streamline initial diagnostics.
When should I call a plumber instead of DIY-ing my project?
When drains repeatedly clog after DIY attempts, pros can clear and camera-inspect.
Professional help is advised for:
- Extensive pipe damage beyond expectations
- Leaks in inaccessible locations
- Tasks needing specialized plumbing equipment
- Work involving pipe section replacement
- Jobs with hot water, steam, or gas involvement
A short service visit can resolve what DIY could drag out for days.
