Should plumbers be certified or licensed?
A current plumbing license is typically a legal requirement. Licensed tradespeople follow safety protocols that protect your family and property. The "Angi Approved" designation guarantees our listed professionals meet strict criteria: successful background screening, current licensing compliance, minimum 3.0 review average, active advertising status, and full eligibility requirements met. Key difference: Licensing is legally mandatory.
What questions should I ask a plumbing contractor?
Make informed decisions by discussing these important questions with potential plumbers:
- May I see licensing/insurance docs?
- Free estimate policy?
- Billing type and minimum hour?
- Qualifications of installers?
- Handling unforeseen damage?
- Do you take emergency calls?
- Cleanup responsibilities spelled out?
- Written guarantee provided?
Your project benefits from clear standards and policies.
Should I clean before the plumber comes?
Remove all unnecessary items from the plumber’s work area to make the process smoother. Removing dirt and buildup from the repair site helps the plumber.
Keep hallways and doorways free from kids and pets.
How much are typical plumbing repair costs?
Average plumbing service calls come to $325, with some as low as $175 or as high as $4,000.
Common price examples:
- Toilet constant running: $150–400
- Pipe rupture emergency: $1,000–4,000+
- Drain clear call: $100–275
- Heater repair visit: $200–600
- Faucet change service: $150–350
Soil conditions and exterior trenching needs can make underground repairs more expensive.
How much do plumbers typically charge?
$100/hr is a good planning number, with simple tasks at ~$45/hr and specialized work at up to ~$200/hr.
Common Rate Structure:
- Standard hour: $45–$200
- Emergency hour: $150+
- Call fee: $100–$350

Pricing depends on the plumber's skill set, local market conditions, time of service, and job difficulty level.
How long do plumbers take to complete a plumbing job?
Short, single-visit plumbing jobs typically fit into a few-hour window. Short duration examples: new laundry sink hookup, trap replacement, and basic drain cleaning. Water main or service upgrades require trenching and utility coordination. The age and condition of your plumbing system can affect repair time.
When should I call a plumber instead of DIY-ing my project?
If you're second-guessing your approach or safety, a professional plumber can take over confidently.
Professional help is advised for:
- Unexpected pipe damage severity
- Leaks in hard-to-reach spaces
