How to choose a plumber near you

• Check the plumber's license with your state or local licensing board before work starts.
• Ask for the price, or how it's calculated, before anything is opened up. Every service page lists what moves the cost.
• Make sure the plumber pulls a permit for water heater replacements, repiping, sewer and water line work, and gas lines.
• Ask what's wrong and why before agreeing to a fix. A good plumber explains the cause, not just the repair.

Why “near” matters for plumbing

A plumber who works your area knows the local housing and rules: frozen pipes in the north, slab leaks and hard water in the South and Southwest, aging drains in older cities, and which city or county issues permits. Local also means a shorter drive when a burst pipe or sewer backup can't wait.

For an active leak, shut off the main water shutoff first, then call. See emergency plumbing for the first steps.
