Should plumbers be certified or licensed?
Absolutely! Plumbing licenses are mandatory in most states to ensure quality and safety. Unlicensed plumbers may provide inferior work, lead to costly subsequent repairs, and risk regulatory violations. Our "Angi Approved" badge indicates professionals who satisfy our standards: successful background assessment, required licensing compliance, 3.0 or better rating average, regular advertising activity, and requirement fulfillment. Key point: State licensing is compulsory.
What questions should I ask a plumbing contractor?
Set clear expectations by discussing these critical questions upfront:
- Are you properly licensed and insured?
- Do you provide free estimates?
- Is pricing flat-rate or hourly?
- Will licensed plumbers perform the work?
- What's your damage policy?
- What's your emergency response time?
- Does cleanup cost extra?
- Do you offer service guarantees?
These questions provide clarity and help build confidence in your plumbing professional.
Should I clean before the plumber comes?
Removing boxes, garbage, and other impediments from the work zone is beneficial before your plumbing technician arrives. In addition, it's best practice to clean the area that needs to be inspected or worked on, like a toilet, for example.
Maintain a safe environment by keeping children and pets clear of the work space during the service call.
How much are typical plumbing repair costs?
Most plumbing repairs cost around $325 per service, with prices potentially ranging from $175 to $4,000+.

- Water heater issues: $200-600

Several factors affect the final price including the project scope, home size, and pipe materials. External considerations like supply chain problems and material shortages also influence repair costs.
How much do plumbers typically charge?

How long do plumbers take to complete a plumbing job?
Many straightforward plumbing jobs in homes can be finished within a few hours. Including sink replacement, clearing obstructed pipes or toilets, and dishwasher installation. Certain plumbing jobs may take substantially more time. Particularly those requiring demolition to reach pipes, excavation for gas line access, or special-order components and materials. Complex diagnoses can add time before repairs even begin.
When should I call a plumber instead of DIY-ing my project?
If your self-performed plumbing isn't going as intended, professional assistance might be necessary.
- Seek professional services when encountering:
- Greater pipe damage than anticipated
- Leaks in inaccessible locations
- Jobs requiring expert equipment
- Pipe cutting or fitting work
- Projects involving hot water, steam, or gas
Perfectly acceptable to admit when you need professional backup. If the work is more complicated than planned, hire a qualified plumber.
