Does your state license you to work in plumbing?
Verify that you work with a plumber who is licensed. Ask for his license. Licensees are trained, have work experience, and know current local and state plumbing codes. Along with passing the exam for their license, licensed plumbers are required to take continuing education every year to be up-to-date on changes in codes, innovations, and new products.
As a Georgian plumber, it is important to have a wide range of skills. To become a Master Plumber or Journeyman an apprentice plumber must go through a series of requirements. This is a state-mandated process. A Journeyman Plumbing or Master Plumbing license requires 3-5 year of experience as a primary plumber, references, and passing an exam. Master Plumbers must also have some experience with commercial or industrial plumbers. The plumbers should also be certified to work with septic or backflow systems, and test them.
What is your company’s age?
You should look for plumbers in the business who are at least eight to ten years old. The length of time in business can give you an idea about the stability and viability of the plumber’s company.
Are Service Technicians Background Checked?
You would be happy to have their service technicians work in your home. The plumber must conduct an extensive background check, including random drug testing of all staff. Further, all Service Technicians should be wearing uniforms and name tags when they work in your residence. It is important that these Service Technicians are company employees, not sub-contractors.
