From toilets and dishwashers to water heaters and more, the plumbing on your property plays a significant role in your day-to-day lifestyle. This is why you want a licensed plumber who is trained and certified to handle any issues and ensure the job is done right – a plumber from a company like That Plumber.
If a plumber is unlicensed, they may not have the experience or proper training to fix the issues – which could lead to future plumbing issues and water damage.
An unlicensed plumber may install fixtures incorrectly, which can not only lead to gas leaks or water overflows, but also water contamination and/or non-compliance with building codes.
From lack of proper insurance and contract liability to fines and legal penalties, working with an unlicensed plumber can cost you more than just a leaky toilet. And if plumbing work is not completed properly, you may be paying for someone else to come fix it or end up having to pay to have a larger issue solved down the road.
When using an unlicensed plumber, it’s more than likely the case that they will not acquire the proper permits for the work that your specific city may require in order to perform certain plumbing projects. Similar to problematic insurance claims, if work was done where codes weren’t met and appropriate permits weren’t pulled, you could ultimately end up paying more in the future if the unpermitted work is discovered by your municipality, a future home inspection, or just due to shoddy quality!
When you hire a licensed plumber, you’re hiring someone who has undergone specific training and passed various related exams, including continued education courses, to handle your plumbing problems. This also means they meet the necessary legal requirements to ensure their work is done correctly and is up to date on any building and safety codes. And because they are licensed, there is a guarantee of insurance and a governing body, so if they happen to mess up, there is recourse.
