Problem: You’re at home, but you have a plumbing problem. What do you do?

Agitate: If you call an unlicensed plumber to fix your pipes and something goes wrong, the consequences can be devastating.

Solution: Make sure that the person who does work on your house is licensed by checking their license number with the state or city where they are registered as a professional. It’s important to check before hiring someone because if there is an accident or injury it could be costly for both you and them in terms of time, money and legal action.
