Our Plumbing Contractor Standards
Know what to verify and what questions to ask before hiring an independent plumbing contractor.
Verify Credentials That Apply in Your Area
Plumbing licensing and registration requirements vary by state, county and city. Ask the provider for the license or registration information that applies to the work and verify it with the appropriate authority when required.
Also ask about insurance, who will perform the work, whether subcontractors may be involved and whether permits or inspections are needed for the project.
Before Hiring
Questions Worth Asking
These are common signs and situations to discuss with a plumbing professional.
Can you provide proof of insurance?
Is there a service or diagnostic fee?
Will I receive a written estimate before work?
Are permits or inspections required?
What warranty applies to labor or installed parts?
Review the Scope and Price
A clear estimate should help you understand the proposed work, major parts or equipment, labor, service fees and any conditions that could change the price. Ask questions before authorizing additional work.
Connect Plumbing Contractors does not control the provider's pricing or workmanship. Your hiring agreement is with the independent contractor you choose.
