Is it an emergency?
What can wait, and what cannot
General guidance for homeowners. If you smell gas, leave the house first and call 911 or your gas utility from outside.
Stop the water, then call
- A burst or spraying pipe, or water coming through a ceiling
- Sewage backing up into a tub, shower or floor drain
- Water near outlets, a panel or appliances
First: shut off the main water valve. Stop using sinks and toilets if sewage is backing up. Do not touch anything electrical standing in water. Then call a plumber who says it takes emergency calls.
Fix it soon
- No hot water
- A toilet that will not stop running or overflows
- The only drain in the house is blocked
- A leak you can contain with a bucket or by closing one valve
First: close the shut-off valve under the fixture or on the water heater’s cold supply if you can, and call during business hours.
It can wait for a quote
- A dripping faucet or a slow drain
- Low water pressure in one fixture
- Replacing a fixture or an old water heater that still works
- Planning a bathroom or kitchen remodel
Do: get two or three written quotes. How to compare them.

Before you hire
Eight questions to ask every plumber
Ask each plumber the same questions and the answers become comparable. Write the answers down.
- Are you licensed for plumbing work in this state or city, and what is the license number?
- Are you insured, and can you send the certificate?
- Is the price a written, itemized estimate – parts, labor, permit and haul-away?
- Do you charge a trip or diagnostic fee, and is it credited if I hire you?
- What do you charge for nights, weekends or holidays?
- Who pulls the permit, if the job needs one, and who arranges the inspection?
- Will your own employee do the work, or a subcontractor?
- What warranty do you give on labor, and on the parts you supply?

Quick answers
About Plumbers Pages
How are plumbers chosen for this directory?
A business is listed when its own website shows it does plumbing work, a phone number and a base location within about 25 miles of the city (35 miles in smaller metro areas). Lead-generation sites and call centers that pose as local plumbers are left out. Listings are free and shown A to Z. How we list.
Do you check plumbing licenses?
Not yet. Where a plumber prints a license number on its own website, the listing shows it. Each state page explains how that state licenses plumbers and links to the official lookup, so you can check before you hire.
Is a plumber listed here recommended by you?
No. A listing means the business passed our listing rules, not that we vouch for its work. The order is alphabetical, and paid placements are labeled.
What should I do first if a pipe bursts?
Shut off the main water valve, keep away from anything electrical in the water, then call a plumber who says it takes emergency calls. The emergency guide shows where the valves usually are.
Is it free to use?
Yes. Searching and requesting a plumber are free for homeowners and businesses. Plumbers are listed free; some pay for labeled placements.
