Should plumbers be certified or licensed?
Absolutely! Plumbing licenses are mandatory in most states to ensure quality and safety. Unlicensed practitioners risk delivering subpar work, creating additional future costs, and violating construction regulations. 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?
Avoid surprises by clarifying these important points with your plumber:
- Licensing and insurance status?
- Estimate charges?
- Flat-rate or hourly billing?
- Qualifications of workers?
- Damage liability coverage?
- Emergency response capability?
- Cleanup inclusion?
- Service warranty details?
This conversation establishes mutual understanding and sets the stage for successful collaboration.
Should I clean before the plumber comes?
Prior to your plumber's arrival, we recommend clearing away any clutter, boxes, or debris that might obstruct their work area. Supplementary to space clearing, proper cleaning of the exact repair area, such as bathroom fixtures, is encouraged.
Maintain a safe environment by keeping children and pets clear of the work space during the service call.

How long do plumbers take to complete a plumbing job?
Simple household plumbing repairs often require only a few hours to complete properly. For instance, sink installation, clearing blocked pipes or toilets, and dishwasher installation. Some plumbing scenarios require substantially longer timelines. Such as those involving demolition to access pipes, excavation for gas line service, or custom-ordered parts and materials. The age and condition of your plumbing system can affect repair time.
When should I call a plumber instead of DIY-ing my project?
When self-attempted plumbing fixes aren't working properly, it's time to contact a professional.
Professional help is advised for:
- More extensive damage than planned for
- Leaks in hard-to-access places
- Projects needing specialty tools
- Work involving pipe modifications
- Tasks with hot water, steam, or gas elements
Absolutely acceptable to realize when professional support is beneficial. If the work is more intricate than expected, hire an expert.
