You might be able to change the washers on a sink or put in aerators, but other jobs require a plumber. Not an amateur who makes big promises for low prices! You need to hire an actual professional plumber with the right training and credentials.<\/p>\n<p>What sets a professional plumber above an amateur? It\u2019s more than just training, although that\u2019s a good place to start. There are some important qualities that set a professional plumber apart.<!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Here\u2019s What Makes a Professional Plumber a Professional<\/h2>\n<p>Let\u2019s take a look at what separates a professional plumbing contractor from an amateur.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>State licensing: <\/strong>The first thing to look for when you\u2019re on the hunt for a plumber is licensing from the State of Florida. The contractor should have the license displayed on their website and on all business materials, and they can produce the license for you upon request. (For the record, our license is #CFC1429412.)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Insured:<\/strong> Insurance is vital for any contractor who does work in a house. If an uninsured worker is hurt while on private property, the homeowner can be made liable if their insurance company denies the claim. Professional plumbers are insured to protect their customers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Background checks for employees:<\/strong> It\u2019s an unfortunate fact that criminals often use their employment as a way to case homes for potential robbery targets. A professional plumbing company will ensure this isn\u2019t the case by screening employees with background checks. Professionals want you to know who\u2019s in your house!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Affiliations:<\/strong> Professional plumbing contractors will have affiliations with state and national groups such as the PHCC (The Plumbing, Heating, and Cooling Contractors Association) and ABC (Associated Builders and Contractors). You can always ask a plumber what other affiliations they have.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Equipment:<\/strong> Amateurs may be able to get their hands on some advanced tools, but not many. Only professionals will have a full complement of advanced equipment to handle plumbing jobs, such as hydro-jetters.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What Sets <em>Us<\/em> Above the Rest<\/h2>\n<p>We have all the qualifications listed above.
