Artistic CONCRETE DESIGNS WHAT MAKES A GOOD PLUMBER? LICENSE Most states (44 of them) require working plumbers to be licensed. In addition to a license, a good plumber should have a clean complaint record. Find out whether any formal complaints have been filed against them or their company. INSURANCE Though you may have homeowner's insurance that offers some level of protection, your plumber should have workman's compensation and at least $500,000 of liability insurance to protect both you and the plumber in the event he, she, or a worker is injured on the job at your home. EXPERIENCE Find out how long the plumber's business has been in operation, and how many years of experience the person who will be doing the work has. It takes several years for most good plumbers to acquire their knowledge and skills. REFERENCES. Ask a potential plumber for references of people for whom he or she has done work. Then call those customers to find out if they were happy with the work or had complaints. WARRANTY Only work with a plumber who will guarantee his or her work and the parts for at least a year. SOCIAL SKILLS This one is a little tricky, but important to consider. It helps to have a plumber who can communicate clearly with you, is trustworthy, and has good work habits, such as maintaining a clean work environment, protecting your home's floors, showing up on time, and so forth. TYPES OF PLUMBERS • AN APPRENTICE PLUMBER is training with a union or nonunion contractor organization. Training consists of both classroom instruction and paid hands-on work. The apprentice is typically the "go-for" who works alongside a journeyman or master plumber. • JOURNEYMAN PLUMBERS have fulfilled the requirements of apprenticeship and obtained a state journeyman license. A journeyman plumber can do most kinds of plumbing work, but most don't operate their own business. • A MASTER PLUMBER, the most qualified, must have worked several years as a journeyman, usually has an associate's degree from a vocational school, and must pass written and hands-on exams. In most states, master plumbers are required to complete several hours of continuing education each year. Master plumbers are qualified to run their own businesses in addition to handling all types of plumbing jobs. www.rooterhero.com
