How to look up a plumber
- Use the TSBPE public license search
- Search by name or license number
- Confirm the license is active, not expired or suspended
- Check that the business is tied to a Responsible Master Plumber
What your paperwork should show
According to the board, written estimates and invoices should contain the Responsible Master Plumber's license number and the name, address and phone number of the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners. Missing information is a reason to ask questions.
About prices
The board doesn't regulate what plumbers charge. It recommends getting several estimates and making sure all warranties and prices are in writing.
