Should plumbers be certified or licensed?

<div><p>Yes, most states require plumbers to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed plumber could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations. </p><p>As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include: </p><ul><li><p>The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check</p></li><li><p>Required to have applicable state and local licenses</p></li><li><p>Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review</p></li><li><p>Paying to advertise their services</p></li><li><p>Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi</p></li></ul><p> Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.</p></div>

Can you fix a well pump yourself?

<div><p>It’s possible to fix a broken well pump yourself, but we don’t recommend it. Well pumps are hard to reach and service without the proper equipment, and even if you can reach the pump, it involves working in close proximity to water and electricity, which can be extremely dangerous. Any mistakes made during the repair process could contaminate your water supply or put you and your home at risk. Additionally, some states require that a licensed plumber carry out well pump repair. It’s worth it to hire a professional water pump repair service.</p></div>

How much does a well pump or water pump repair cost?

<div><p>The average <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-repairing-well-pump-cost.htm#">cost to repair a well pump</a> is <b>$950</b>, with most well pump repairs ranging between <b>$100 and $2,900</b>. A few factors influence your total repair cost, including the component of your well that needs repair or replacement, the extent of the damage, the accessibility of the pump, and the age and size of your well pump. It might be more cost-effective to replace your well pump if it’s old or has multiple broken components, as the average cost to replace a well pump is <b>$1,800.</b></p></div>

How much are typical plumbing repair costs?

<div><p>Typically, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-will-plumbing-repair-cost.htm">plumbing repairs cost</a> about <b>$325</b> per job but can range from <b>$175 to $4,000</b> or more. Simple fixes, such as a toilet repair, will be less expensive at around <b>$150 to $400</b>. However, if you have a pipe that has burst, you can expect to pay between <b>$1,000 and $4,000</b> or more. </p><p>The project that needs to be completed, the size of your home, and the type of plumbing pipes you have can all impact the final cost. External factors such as supply chain issues and shortage of materials all play a part in how much this repair might be.</p></div>

How much do plumbers typically charge?

<div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/plumber-cost.htm">The average cost to hire a plumber</a> is around <b>$100 </b>an hour but can vary between<b> $45 and $200</b> an hour depending on the plumber’s experience and the repair that you need.

"Utterly useless company. The owner John is very rude and does not care for Customers. Just behind cash. This company came along my way (unfortunately) through Home Warranty. The Technician did not show up on the appointment day. When I called later to check on this, I was told by John that we never had an appointment. When I sent the appointment confirmation notice from the Home Warranty company, John told me the "scheduling team" messed up. Very convenient. Finally, when the appointment was set for the following week, the Technician did not evaluate the issue properly. And further, they wanted to charge me additional $250 out of pocket for "modification" work which was not covered by the Warranty. When I called the Warranty company and escalated this, I was later told that the Maintenance company tried to reach me to explain the issue. WRONG! no one from Property Maintenance even texted me, forget calling me. I then read the online reviews and figured this Company and it's owner John are SCAM artists. I did not get the issue resolved through them. I just hired a handyman who not only fixed the issue but also told me no modifications were needed. And all this for half the price ! STAY AWAY ! JOHN and PRIMARY MAINTENANCE are SCAMSTERS !"
