Before you hire

How to choose plumbers

  1. 1

    Ask about the trip fee

    Many plumbers charge a service call or trip fee just to come out. Ask whether it is applied to the repair if you hire them.

  2. 2

    Ask for the price before work starts

    Whether they charge by the hour or by the job, get the price for the repair before they begin.

  3. 3

    Ask about permits

    Water heater replacements and gas line work usually need a city permit. A licensed plumber should pull it.

FAQ

Questions about plumbers

What counts as a plumbing emergency?

A burst pipe, a leak you cannot stop, sewage backing up, no water, or a gas smell. For a gas smell, leave the house and call your gas company first.

How long does a water heater last?

Often about 8 to 12 years for a tank water heater, and less with hard water and no maintenance. Flushing the tank helps.

What is a slab leak?

A leak in a water line under a concrete slab foundation. Signs include warm spots on the floor, the sound of running water, or a water bill that jumps for no reason.

Does it cost anything to use Job Hound?

No. Job Hound is free for homeowners, and pros never pay for leads.
