01
License and insurance: You should ask for a current certificate of insurance (COI) and any applicable proof of licensing.
02
Scope and written estimates: Put it in writing. An estimate for repiping, a new water heater, fixture work, or sewer repair should itemize parts and labor and make note of any permits that are required.
03
Scope of services: Confirm that your plumber handles the work you need, from drain cleaning and hydro jetting to septic work and tankless water heaters.
04
Emergency response: For a burst pipe or standing water, check whether weekend or after-hours availability is offered.
05
Experience: If your project involves commercial repairs or a full kitchen and bath remodel, make sure your plumber has experience with that kind of work.
06
Local reputation: Reviews from other homeowners can help give you a sense of dependability and workmanship.
