We have a leaky drain and I need to hire a plumber. How would I go about finding a qualified plumber?
Every plumber will have a license indicating their qualifications.
This is an easy question. Just find a local plumber in your local area. I would call for rates first though. Any plumber should be qualified. This is also possible to do yourself if you have the correct tools.
A person can ensure their plumber is qualified to fix their bathroom plumbing by asking to see his license. It is also a good idea to check references.
You know you need a plumber if you repair whats broken or whats wrong with the sink yourself.The plumber should be certified and come from a reputatable company. you should also ask for references from the plumber if your not sure that they can do the job.
To become a qualified plumber you will need to enrol yourself on a plumbing course at a technical college and you will have to arrange yourself some work based experience.
I always look in my local shopper paper for people that do plumbing work as a second job, hiring a contractor can be expensive, and there are many qualified people that can do the job for half the cost.
To easily find a plumber that can do a good job and do exactly what you need without further question, you can look through your local phone book and find a nearby plumber.
Since American household water pipes and equipment can break down at any time, it is a good idea to have a plumber's contact information handy. You can find a local plumber's name and number online at Elocal Plumbers and Find a Plumber.

To find a good "local" plumber quickly I would suggest the yellow pages of the phone book. you will be able to find a plumber that specializes in after hours house calls and might be allied with a national firm.
