Why Should I Hire a Licensed Plumber?

Too many homeowners plumbing may not appear to be that complicated and many will actually try to repair issues on their own. Others may try to find the cheapest “plumber” and could end up using someone without a proper license. Just remember, using someone to repair your plumbing that does not have the proper license could cost you more in the long run. Here are some reasons why you should call a licensed plumber for those plumbing projects.

Having the Proper Insurance

It can be quite easy to ask a friend who considers themselves a handyman to fix any plumbing issues you might have. However, accidents happen, and mistakes are easily made. If your friend gets hurt on the job, you could be liable to pay any medical bills or lost wages.

North Carolina requires plumbing liability and workers compensation insurance as part of the licensing process. This means if the plumber were to get injured while working at your house, the insurance company pays for injuries and damage, as well as any accidental damage to your property.

Hiring a plumber without a license means they may not have the proper insurance to cover damages, and this could leave you open to legal issues. For example, if they were to get injured on your property while performing a job, they may actually be able to sue you.

Also, if an unlicensed plumber causes damage to your property that will cost you out of pocket as well since most homeowner’s insurance providers will not cover damages as a result of negligence or an unlicensed individual carrying out the work.

Workmanship

When you hire a plumber with a license you have a reasonable expectation that a plumber will stand behind their work. Some appliances come with a factory warranty, and some may require a licensed professional to install them. Hiring the wrong person for the job could risk invalidating the warranty.

Licensed plumbers will normally offer a limited guarantee on workmanship. This means if something goes wrong with how they installed it, they will come back to your homa and make it right.
