Should plumbers be certified or licensed?
Definitely. State licensing is essential for plumbers in most regions. Unlicensed work often means poor craftsmanship, expensive future repairs, and possible legal violations. The "Angi Approved" certification ensures professionals meet our high standards: thorough background investigation, valid licensing documentation, minimum 3.0 star average, advertising participation, and eligibility requirement fulfillment. Critical distinction: State licensing is obligatory.
What questions should I ask a plumbing contractor?
For a successful plumbing project, don't forget to ask these essential questions:
- Current license and insurance verification?
- Estimate pricing policy?
- Billing method (flat vs hourly)?
- Experience level of technicians?
- Damage coverage and liability?
- Emergency service response time?
- Cleanup and disposal included?
- Service guarantee details?
Asking these questions upfront helps avoid surprises and ensures you're comfortable with your choice.
Should I clean before the plumber comes?
Before your plumber pays you a visit, it's a good idea to clean up any boxes, garbage, or other obstacles that could be in their way. Along with general cleanup, focusing on sanitizing the actual work site, like under sinks or around toilets, is important.
Keep children and pets safely distanced from the service area during the entire plumbing appointment.
How much are typical plumbing repair costs?

How long do plumbers take to complete a plumbing job?
Most simple, residential plumbing jobs and repairs can be completed within a few hours. This would include things like installing a new sink, clearing a clog in a pipe or toilet, or installing a dishwasher. Some plumbing projects require significantly more time. Examples include jobs requiring wall demolition to access pipes, excavation for gas line work, or waiting for specialized parts and materials. Experienced plumbers often work more efficiently, reducing overall time.
When should I call a plumber instead of DIY-ing my project?
If your amateur plumbing work isn't producing the right outcomes, consider professional intervention.
- Consider hiring a plumber if you encounter:
- More extensive pipe damage than expected
- Leaks or damage in hard-to-reach places
- Tasks requiring specialized tools or equipment
- Jobs that involve cutting or replacing sections of pipe or fittings
- Work involving hot water, steam or gas
It's perfectly fine to recognize when you need additional assistance. If the project proves more complex than expected, professional help is advisable.
