Should plumbers be certified or licensed?
Certainly. Most states mandate plumbing licenses to protect consumers. Insurance claims are far simpler when repairs were performed by a licensed professional. Maintain photos or scans of licenses and permits for your home records.
What questions should I ask a plumbing contractor?
When comparing contractors, request answers to these key items:
- Are you compliant with local licensing?
- Cost and validity of estimates?
- Pricing breakdown (labor/materials)?
- Experience with similar jobs?
- Damage coverage and claims?
- Urgent call response time?
- Post-service cleanup steps?
- Warranty type and length?
These questions provide clarity and help build confidence in your plumbing professional.
Should I clean before the plumber comes?
For optimal efficiency, tidy up the area by removing boxes, trash, and any items that might block access before the plumber visits. Ensure the plumbing fixture is clean to make the work easier.
Pets can get stressed—keep them in another room while service is underway.

Always discuss timeline expectations with your plumber during the estimate phase.
