Should plumbers be certified or licensed?
Yes, licensed status differentiates qualified professionals. Licensed contractors help protect your insurance coverage and home resale value through compliant work. Ensure the permit holder will be present or supervising as your code requires.
What questions should I ask a plumbing contractor?
Prioritize clarity by asking your contractor the following:
- 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?
These questions provide clarity and help build confidence in your plumbing professional.
Should I clean before the plumber comes?
Uncluttered workspaces make for faster, safer plumbing visits. A sanitized bathroom or kitchen area creates a better work environment.
Keep hallways and doorways free from kids and pets.

How long do plumbers take to complete a plumbing job?
Two-to-four hours is common for small residential plumbing tasks. Common examples are sink installation, pipe or toilet drain cleaning, and dishwasher hookup. 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. Share any prior inspection reports to inform planning.
When should I call a plumber instead of DIY-ing my project?
If a ‘quick job’ keeps uncovering surprises, stop and call a professional.
Professional help is advised for:
- Recurrent leaks after DIY fixes
- Moisture behind finishes detected
- Professional-grade tools required
- Modifying existing pipe layouts
- High-temperature/pressure systems
Trusted pros leave the site clean, safe, and code-compliant.
