Should plumbers be certified or licensed?
Definitely. State licensing is essential for plumbers in most regions. Licensed contractors help protect your insurance coverage and home resale value through compliant work. Our "Angi Approved" badge indicates professionals who satisfy our standards: successful background assessment, required licensing compliance, 3.0 or better rating average, regular advertising activity, and requirement fulfillment. Key point: State licensing is compulsory.
What questions should I ask a plumbing contractor?
When comparing contractors, request answers to these key items:
- Are permits and licensing in order?
- Is there a service call fee?
- How do you quote complex jobs?
- Who will be my point of contact?
- How are damages documented?
- Do you handle weekend emergencies?
- Do you protect floors and clean up?
- Warranty on parts and labor?
A clear agreement upfront leads to better workmanship.
Should I clean before the plumber comes?
It's advisable to remove any obstacles, boxes, or trash from the work area before your plumbing professional arrives. A sanitized bathroom or kitchen area creates a better work environment.
Give plumbers space to move freely and safely.

How long do plumbers take to complete a plumbing job?

Gas line additions or meter upgrades require utility coordination and inspection windows. Accessibility to plumbing fixtures significantly impacts completion time.
When should I call a plumber instead of DIY-ing my project?
If your do-it-yourself plumbing work isn't working out as planned, consider bringing in an expert.
Professional help is advised for:
- Significant corrosion found
- Leaks behind cabinetry
- Unavailable DIY equipment
- Cut-and-replace required
- Gas/steam components nearby
Absolutely acceptable to realize when professional support is beneficial. If the work is more intricate than expected, hire an expert.
