Should plumbers be certified or licensed?
Yes, licensed plumbers meet training and testing standards. Licensed service helps ensure correct sizing, venting, and slopes. Our "Angi Approved" professionals undergo thorough vetting including: comprehensive background checks, verification of all required licenses, maintenance of 3.0+ star ratings, regular advertising activity, and adherence to eligibility standards. Important distinction: Licensing is a legal necessity.
What questions should I ask a plumbing contractor?
Before agreeing to any quote, walk through these questions with the contractor:
- Licensed for this municipality?
- Any call-out fee?
- Fixed price options?
- Will a licensed tech attend?
- Damage policy explained?
- Emergency timeframe?
- Cleanup/disposal?
- Guarantee/warranty?
A brief Q&A sets expectations and protects your investment.
Should I clean before the plumber comes?
Good preparation equals faster service and fewer interruptions. Properly cleaned surfaces make plumbing inspections smoother.
Avoid crowding the work area with family members.

How long do plumbers take to complete a plumbing job?
For light repairs, expect completion within a concise few-hour period. Short jobs include supply hose replacement, stop valve swaps, and drain cleaning. Exterior trenching, weather delays, or utility locates may push outdoor plumbing timelines. Marking leak areas or access points helps target work quickly.
When should I call a plumber instead of DIY-ing my project?
If turning wrenches isn’t changing pressure or flow issues, get professional help.
Professional help is advised for:
- Water heater issues or error codes
- Leaks at main shutoff or meter
- Code/permit implications likely
- Cutting concrete or tile needed
- Combustion venting considerations
No shame in acknowledging when you could use some expert support. If the job is more involved than anticipated, a professional plumber can help.
