Should plumbers be certified or licensed?
Yes, licenses help enforce safety and building codes. Working with licensed professionals minimizes rework, safety hazards, and surprise fines. Some manufacturers require licensed installers to honor product warranties.
What questions should I ask a plumbing contractor?
A brief Q&A with your plumber should include these points:
- Valid license/insurance proof?
- Free written quote available?
- Hourly rate, trip fee, minimums?
- Credentials of field techs?
- Liability for accidental damage?
- Emergency dispatch speed?
- Cleanup expectations?
- Warranty start/end dates?
These questions provide clarity and help build confidence in your plumbing professional.
Should I clean before the plumber comes?
Cleaning the area in advance helps avoid unnecessary complications. Washing the area where the plumber will work helps maintain hygiene.
Keep hallways and doorways free from kids and pets.

Simple, single-scope plumbing tasks typically run a few hours. Fast list: clear minor blockages, replace shutoffs, and install a new kitchen faucet. Longer completion times apply to complex plumbing jobs. Including those requiring demolition for pipe access, digging for gas line work, or waiting for specialized materials and parts. Pets and children should be kept away to maintain workflow and safety.
When should I call a plumber instead of DIY-ing my project?
If you can’t guarantee a watertight seal, bring in a licensed plumber.
Professional help is advised for:
- Cross-connection/backflow concerns
- Leaks at inaccessible valves

- Cutting/patching structural elements
- Gas appliances or relief valves
Even confident DIYers benefit from a pro on high-risk work.
