Americans have the habit of practicing strange double standards. When it comes to buying bathroom fittings, they will always choose the best available and high-end brand. And when they have to get installation services, they will choose just any random local plumber from the street corner.

You might save some money by this, but the level and quality of work a licensed plumbing company will give you, nobody else might be able to. You might even face improper installation issue in the long run with an unlicensed plumber.

A plumbing job might look like an easy job, but it needs some great skills and hard work. Thorough knowledge of tools and techniques is required along with the knowledge of basic plumbing such as drain lines, water lines, sewer and gas lines. You should have proper knowledge of maths and mechanics to fit the right parts at the right place. A local plumbing company must also have the required skills to work at odd locations and tight times and schedules.

It is because of these reasons that it requires great training and years to become a licensed plumber. Some states might also need some extra basic courses before holding the license test. Basic continuous education is given by some states so that the professionals may stay updated on building codes, equipment upgrades, and safety issues.

Insurance

In order to maintain a valid license for plumbing services, one must qualify and get a license issued for yourself. The plumber’s license is liable for any damages that are made during the plumbing work at the client’s home. Therefore the customers have the privilege to file a claim for any damage made by a plumber during the work. This claim does not hold valid for any unlicensed plumber. You do not get any money back or refund for hiring an unlicensed plumber. Whereas, some states have recovery funds that do consider your claims if you had your plumbing service done by a licensed plumbing company or plumbing company.

Also, if you are a plumbing company with a license, you get full cover for any job-related injuries under your company insurance.

Plumber Background check

In order to qualify a license test, a local plumbing business has to pass some background checks such as a criminal background check. This is a very important point to consider because you can be tension free with a licensed plumber near you.

You can also do it on your own. When a plumber comes to your home for local plumber service, ask him for a copy of his license, and call the number of the licensing board to verify it. Ask for and contact the references if you are looking to consider this plumber for a high-end big project. Reach out to platforms such as the Better Business Bureau to see if there are any outstanding complaints regarding the plumbing company or plumber.
