Should plumbers be certified or licensed?
Yes—the industry standard is licensed technicians on every job. Licensed firms can be disciplined or de-listed—creating accountability. If work spans jurisdictions, confirm licensing in each locality where work occurs.
What questions should I ask a plumbing contractor?
For confidence in your selection, address these questions:
- Active license & insurance?
- Free estimate?
- Flat vs hourly?
- Qualified crew?
- Damage handling?
- Emergency response?
- Cleanup included?
- Warranty details?
With these questions answered, you can compare bids apples-to-apples.
Should I clean before the plumber comes?
A prepared homeowner makes the plumber’s visit run much smoother. A well-cleaned fixture ensures smoother maintenance.
Ensure young children are always supervised.

How long do plumbers take to complete a plumbing job?
Many quick plumbing adjustments are finished within hours of start. Fast items: install a bar sink, clear a vanity drain, or swap flexible connectors. Hidden issues discovered during demolition (corrosion, rot, mold) can increase overall timelines. Ask about lead times on special-order fixtures early on.
When should I call a plumber instead of DIY-ing my project?
If noises (hammering, whistling) persist after DIY fixes, get expert diagnosis.
Professional help is advised for:
- Cross-connection/backflow concerns
- Leaks at inaccessible valves
- Advanced diagnostics necessary
- Cutting/patching structural elements
- Gas appliances or relief valves
