Before receiving a license, plumbers must prove their competence to a regulatory board, ensuring they meet code standards for safe plumbing. Just as professionals like doctors and pharmacists are required to meet certain qualifications to protect public health, plumbers, whose work impacts health and safety, must also be properly trained and licensed.

A licensed plumber guarantees not only expertise but accountability, with potential liability for mishaps if their work is done incorrectly. They’re also usually bonded or insured, providing added protection for homeowners.While DIY plumbing might seem cost-effective, hiring a licensed plumber is often the safer choice, ensuring the work is done right and avoiding extra costs down the line.

Look for signs like unusual dust patterns or drips. If you see water, follow it to the source and shut off the nearest valve. If no water is visible, place a paper towel or newspaper in the area to catch any future drips, marking it with ink to spot water stains easily. Check nearby pipes and appliances for damage, then briefly turn on the water to see if a leak appears.If there’s no immediate sign of water, monitor regularly for changes. Remember, leaks can be subtle, like sudden water bill increases, damp spots, or warm areas on floors. For any signs you can’t trace, contact a licensed plumber right away to address it professionally!

Signs of a hidden leak include unexplained increases in your water bill, damp spots on walls or ceilings, musty odors, or reduced water pressure. We use advanced leak detection tools to pinpoint the problem.

We recommend an annual plumbing inspection to catch potential issues early and prevent costly repairs.

Regular maintenance, avoiding flushing non-flushable items, not pouring grease down drains, and scheduling inspections can help prevent major plumbing issues.
