Does a plumber need a license in California?

Any job worth $1,000 or more in labor and materials must be done by a CSLB-licensed contractor. For plumbing work that means a C-36 Plumbing license from the Contractors State License Board (CSLB). You can check any license number on the board's website before you hire.

How do I choose the right plumber in Merced?

Compare at least three pros. Check that their license is active with your state licensing board, ask for proof of insurance, read recent reviews, and get the scope, price and timeline in writing before work starts. Avoid paying the full amount up front.

What counts as a plumbing emergency?

A burst pipe, a sewage backup, no water at all, or a leak you can't stop with the shut-off valve. Turn off the main water valve first, then call a plumber — most emergencies get worse (and pricier) by the hour.

Should I repair or replace my water heater?

Tank water heaters last about 8–12 years. If yours is older than that, leaking from the tank, or needs a repair costing more than half the price of a new one, replacement is usually the better value.
